PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

South Africa's need of ensuring that records are kept for a range of purposes is the primary purpose of the Records and Archives professionals, in a wide range of sectors. The Records and Archives profession continues to seek out new ways to meet the changing needs of identifying, retrieving, preserving and conserving information and items through well-structured record classification systems and record keeping systems, while at the same time dealing with significant changes in technology.

In the records and archives environment, lifelong learning is crucial and practitioners must develop competencies for themselves. The competencies that enable practitioners to best serve everyone remain constant. Using competencies in analysing, acquiring, synthesising, organising, conserving, evaluating and disseminating records, Records and Archives practitioners add value to the services they provide for customers.

These competencies support, and are enhanced by, technological and social transformation. This qualification recognises all these elements in current and future records and archives practice. It aims to help people entering the industry and those already working in it maintain and improve their competencies in meeting and anticipating the needs of the country as a whole.

This Qualification will enable learners within the Archives and Records Management environment to improve professionalism and enhance the quality of service delivery. It will also contribute to the further development of learners within the Archives and Records Management environment by providing articulation, recognition and mobility within this dynamic and ever changing environment.

A learner acquiring this Qualification will be able to:
  • Communicate in a variety of ways in the provision of Records and Archives support services.
  • Use mathematics and mathematical thinking to solve every day problems for him/herself and the Records and Archives profession.
  • Manage archival materials and records.
  • Provide routine frontline customer services for archives and records.
  • Administer routine Records and Archives support services.

    Qualifying learners will be able to show responsibility, and independently and effectively manage themselves in the specific culture of the Archives and Records Management environment and they will therefore ensure the effective delivery of relevant and appropriate Archives and Records Management services within the framework of prescribed legislation.

    Rationale:

    This Qualification is addressing an urgent need for the provision of training in the Archives and Records management sector. Sound record keeping, archiving and records management practices are key elements of good governance and are also evidence of official and private business. They have an ongoing use as a means of legal evidence, operational continuity, disaster recovery and are a means of accountability. This Qualification is for learners who are pursuing careers within the Archives and Records Management environment and indicates a clear learning pathway which can be followed. It provides learners with opportunities for professional development and career advancement within the broader constituencies of the administrative community that will contribute to providing better Archives and Records handling services for all the people in the Republic of South Africa.

    This qualification reflects the need and demand within the Archives and Records Management environment for people who are/will be able to perform these administrative roles within surroundings which are more complex and demand more advanced knowledge, skills and attributes. This Qualification will provide a vehicle through which to develop competent Archives and Records Administrators and people that can stay abreast with the changing and dynamic environment of Archives and Records Management as well as create an atmosphere for life-long learning opportunities.

    This qualification allows for the further development of learners in the Archives and Records Management` professional environment through vertical mobility to higher-level qualifications and horizontally to qualifications on the same level but in a different administrative discipline. The qualification assists learners in critically evaluating information and exercising appropriate professional judgement. The level of flexibility within the range of electives will also allow the individual to pursue further specialisation within the Archives and Records Management field.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The purpose of this International Comparability study is to facilitate the development of a meaningful learning path and its associated curriculum incorporating both theoretical and practical vocational skills which will ensure compatibility, comparability and compliance with existing international qualification specifications and regulations.

    This Further Education and Training Certificate in Archives and Records Management was compared with equivalent qualifications from a range of countries. However, Australia, Canada and New Zealand were selected because they are in a similar situation to South Africa in that they only have history and records dating back a few hundred years. This means that the practices they employ in Archives and Records Management would be comparable to ours. However, two other countries were selected because they offer education and training that is considered international best practice in terms of Archives and Records Management.

    Research was conducted to benchmark this qualification against equivalent qualifications in the following countries:
  • Australia.
  • Canada.
  • New Zealand.
  • United Kingdom.
  • United States of America.

    Training Qualifications and Courses referred to were:

    These Australian courses put together, are very compatible with the South African FETC Qualification. The Subjects on offer cover most of the aspects covered by the individual Unit Standards in the Qualification. These courses do however have added subjects which are very specific to Australian (Victoria) regulations in terms of 'VERS'.

    The majority of the subjects offered in the above Canadian courses are well aligned to the competencies contained in this South African Qualification. They do however; cover some issues which we may build into Unit Standards at a much higher level (Levels 6 to 8). These are issues like research and conducting a Thesis in Archives and records Management.

    New Zealand:

    New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

    Unit Standard Titles:

    Level 3:

    The above New Zealand standards are very compatible with those contained in our FETC Qualification. There are some major differences in that New Zealand in that the New Zealand standards are spread from Levels 3 to Level 7, where ours are all at Level 4. Their higher level standards are also different in that they cover archival appraisal strategies, which we do not cover at this level.

    Archives and Records Association of New Zealand (ARANZ).

    Course Title: Records and Archives:
  • Alphabetical Filing Rules.
  • Archives.
  • Data Management.
  • Electronic Document and Records Management Systems.
  • Metadata.
  • Microform Storage and Preservation.
  • Paper Permanence.
  • Quality Management.
  • Records Management.
  • Security.
  • Storage Accommodation.

    The above courses are very similar to the individual Unit Standards contained in our Qualification. They do however focus quite heavily on electronic and microfilm storage, whereas the South African Unit Standards cover a range of records storage and archiving processes.

    United Kingdom:

    University of Edinburgh.

    Course Title: Training For Practitioners with Particular Responsibility for Records Management:
  • Records Management Starter Pack.
  • Introduction to Records Management: Principles And Practice.

  • Implementing Records Systems.
  • Recovering From an Emergency: Managing Vital Records.
  • Electronic Records Management: Principle and Practice.
  • JISC: Electronic Records Management.
  • Implications of Freedom and Data Protection for Records Creation.

    This University of Edinburgh course is very compatible with this South African one and their modules cover very similar competencies to ours.

    The National Archives of Scotland:
  • Record Keeping (Archival Practice).
  • Preservation and Conservation.
  • Guidance for Depositors (Transmission of Records).
  • Legislation.
  • Records Management (Paper and Electronic).
  • Records Policies.

    Very basic courses which only cover the bare necessities of Records and Archives Management. The actual content may offer more than can be ascertained from the information available. It seems that the South African Qualification is more comprehensive and covers the subjects in more detail.

    United States of America:

    Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.

    Course Title: Electronic Records Management for State and Local Government:
  • Things to watch out for when storing records solely on electronic media.
  • Things to do to ensure records are protected.
  • E-mail - How it fits into public record laws and it should be managed.

    Course Title: Introduction into Managing Public Records:
  • The statutory definition of records and records management.
  • Reasoning behind a records management programme.
  • The requirements of the Arizona Revised Statutes.

    Course Title: Transferring and Storing Records at a Records Management Centre:
  • The statutory mandate to operate a Records Management Centre.
  • Transferring records.
  • Using bar code labels and packing boxes.
  • Completing requisite forms.

    The above range of courses is broken down into smaller components of learning which are found in some of our Specific outcomes with the individual Unit Standards. So, in terms of this they are fairly compatible with this Qualification. The only major exception is that they focus quite strongly only on the management of public or government records, where the South African Qualification covers both public and private records management.

    The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.

    Course Title: Records Management for Everyone:
  • Understand records management principles.
  • Understand repercussions of poor records management.
  • Techniques and protocols that govern the lifecycle of a record.
  • Concepts of adequate and proper documentation and disposition.
  • Managing records and information.
  • Improve staff effectiveness.

    The above courses offered by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, are very compatible with our Unit Standards and Qualification. They do however only offer the basics of Records Management and does not go into the detail offered in the South African Qualification.

    Conclusion:

    The Further Education and Training Certificate: Archives and Records Management, Level 4 compares favourably with the training and development that is offered internationally by all countries included in this comparison. Differences between international practice and the contents of the FETC: Archives and Records Management, Level 4, relate mainly to legislative and regulatory issues applicable to each country and in some of the higher level of learning provided by these countries i.e. doing research and a thesis of records management. Australia in particular also focused on specific requirements i.e. VERS and the United States on Public records.

    This Qualification meets the needs of both public and private archive and storage sectors which have to implement and apply records archiving and storage requirements in the work place and it is also evident that this Qualification would apply to most counties internationally. The international courses also do not offer any learning in terms of Communication and Mathematics.
