PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
Purpose:
This Qualification is for any individual who is, or wishes to be, involved in a metals production environment. The Qualification contains all the skills, knowledge, values and attitudes required by a learner who needs mainly to be able to perform a range of activities within a specific metals production environment to support a particular process like extracting, melting, refining, casting, rolling, shearing, forging and other metallurgical processes. An individual acquiring this Qualification will be able to contribute towards the smooth and efficient operation of the production processes in the metals production sector. The core component contains generic competencies covering, inter alia: These competencies will enable the learner to work in different industries within the diverse production sector. The Qualification ensures progression of learning, enabling the learner to perform optimally within the metals production field of learning and provide access to a higher Qualification within the same or a related sector. The Qualification will facilitate access to, and mobility within, education and training for learners who: The Qualification also intends to: Rationale: Metals production can be defined as the processing of raw materials into metal products, including value adding processes. The metals production sector constitutes the following industries - iron and steel, aluminium, platinum, chrome, zinc, manganese and copper and is characterised by sophisticated processes. Companies within this sector operate in a global competitive and challenging environment. The products produced have to respond to a wide variety of customer requirements and safety, health, environmental, quality and risk management issues. This is an entry level Qualification - in a series of three qualifications. Typical learners will be persons who are currently working in a metals production environment who have not received any formal recognition for their skills and knowledge or for anyone wishing to follow a career in a ferrous or non-ferrous metals production working environment, in a variety of contexts. In terms of the learning pathway, the Qualification will allow this learner to progress from providing support functions at this level to that of a process operator within a metals production environment by completing the National Certificate: Metals Production at NQF Level 3. At this point s/he would be able to operate a furnace, for example. Subsequently the learner could become a process controller in the same environment by completing the FETC: Metals Production at NQF Level 4. South Africa has a very extensive and highly developed metals production sector. This sector employs a large number of people, is well-established and economically powerful. In terms of transformation in the country, learners will require skills and competencies to gain access to positions within management structures by completing other qualifications and training. It will be in the interest of the country and the sector to ensure that those who operate in the metals production environment are trained according to this Qualification to improve productivity and efficiency. This national Qualification and its related unit standards were developed to standardise the accreditation of learning programmes, resulting in improved quality management in terms of programme delivery. The National Certificate: Metal Production supports the objectives of the NQF in that it gives the learner access to a registered Qualification. It will ensure that the quality of education and training in the sub-field is enhanced and of a world-class standard. The Qualification will allow learners not only to develop their knowledge and skills in the metal production sector but will also enable them to benchmark their competencies against international standards. |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
Learners wishing to study towards this Qualification are assumed to have:
Recognition of Prior Learning: This Qualification may be achieved in part (or whole) through the recognition of relevant prior knowledge and/or experience. The learner must be able to demonstrate competence in the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes implicit in this Qualification. As part of the provision of recognition of prior learning providers are required to develop a structured means for the assessment of individual learners against the Unit Standards of the Qualification on a case-by-case basis. A range of assessment tools and techniques during formative and summative assessment procedures should be used which have been jointly decided upon by the learner and the assessor. Such procedures, and the assessment of individual cases, are subject to moderation by independent assessors. The same principles that apply to assessment of this Qualification also apply to recognition of prior learning. Learners may provide evidence of prior learning for which they may receive credit towards the Unit Standards and/or the Qualification by means of portfolios or other forms of appropriate evidence as agreed to between the relevant provider and relevant ETQA or ETQA that has a Memorandum of Understanding in place with the relevant ETQA. RPL is particularly important, as there are people in the metal production sector with a variety of skills and competencies of differing quality and scope. It is important that an RPL process be available to assist in making sense of existing competencies and skills, and helping to standardise these competencies and skills towards a common standard. Access to the Qualification: There is an open access to this Qualification, keeping in mind the "Learning Assumed to be in Place". |

ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit level outcome 1:
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit level outcome 2: Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit level outcome 3: Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit level outcome 4: Integrated assessment: The importance of integrated assessment is to confirm that the learner is able to demonstrate applied competence (practical, foundational and reflexive) and ensure that the purpose of this Qualification is achieved. Both formative and summative assessment methods and strategies are used to ensure that the Exit Level Outcomes and the purpose of the Qualification are achieved through achieving the Unit Standards. Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably linked. Learning and assessment should be integrated and assessment practices must be fair, transparent, valid and reliable. A variety of assessment strategies and approaches must be used. This could include tests, assignments, projects, demonstrations and/or any applicable method. Evidence of the acquisition of competencies must be demonstrated through the Unit Standards, which enhance the integration of theory and practice as deemed appropriate at this level. Formative assessment is an on-going process which is used to assess the efficacy of the teaching and learning process. It is used to plan appropriate learning experiences to meet the learner's needs. Formative assessments can include a mix of simulated and actual (real) practice or authentic settings. Feedback from assessment informs both teaching and learning. If the learner has met the assessment criteria of all the Unit Standards then s/he has achieved the Exit Level Outcomes of the Qualification. Summative assessment is concerned with the judgement of the learning in relation to the Exit Level Outcomes of the Qualification. Such judgement must include integrated assessment(s) which test the learners' ability to integrate the larger body of knowledge, skills and attitudes, which are represented by the Exit Level Outcomes. Summative assessment can take the form of oral, written and practical examinations as agreed to by the relevant ETQA. Integrated assessment must be designed to achieve the following: Assessors and moderators should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience. Assessment should ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are assessed. The assessment of the critical cross-field outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of specific outcomes and embedded knowledge. |
INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
This is the first in a series of three qualifications. In terms of the learning pathway, a learner has the opportunity to start at Level 2 and progress to Level 4 in the Metal Production environment. Hence, there is a duplication of competencies between the three qualifications; competencies acquired at Level 2 are used as a foundation to acquire other competencies at Level 3 and competencies acquired at Level 3 form the foundation for competencies at Level 4. It follows that the international comparability also reflects the overlap of the competencies.
The following competencies are addressed by this qualification: The following countries were chosen primarily for two reasons: These are: It must be noted that although India, for instance, is a significant metal producer, information on the training is severely limited. The websites of Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Tunisia were checked, to no avail in terms of comparability purposes. United Kingdom: The UK metals sector (comprising those companies which make, process, distribute and recycle metals, or fabricate metals for construction or other products) supplies vital raw materials, precision products and complete building structures to the manufacturing, public and service sectors. Every year, the metals sector produces 14 million tonnes of steel, 1.2 million tonnes of castings and 500,000 tonnes of aluminium reclaims and processes 10 million tonnes of used or end-of-life metals a year. The metals market covers a diverse range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, engineering, retail, leisure and public buildings and bridges, oil and gas extraction, power generation, telecommunications, defence, orthopaedic medicine, rail, domestic appliances, furniture and packaging. Oxford Cambridge RSA Qualification Examination: The Oxford Cambridge RSA Qualification Examination in the United Kingdom provides a variety of vocational qualifications in many areas. They have designed a series of manufacturing qualifications (Diplomas) at Levels 1, 2 and 3 in Manufacturing and Product Design, for implementation in 2009. The draft unit titles of the UK Level 1 Diploma - which constitute the principal learning - have resonance with the competencies of the South African Level 2 qualification in Metal Production. Although the UK qualification is focussed on product design and is located primarily in the manufacturing environment, there are generic competencies that can be drawn upon for comparison purposes. Manufacturing and production are closely related but not identical. The draft unit titles are: Assessment and Qualification Alliance ( AQA) and City & Guilds: Assessment and Qualification Alliance (AQA) is the UK's main provider of GCSEs and A levels. City & Guilds is well-known for vocational qualifications. It works closely with employers and industry bodies to ensure that its qualifications provide the benchmark standard for workplace skills and knowledge. The collaboration between AQA and C&G brings together the providers of qualifications in both fields to provide all the support needed to deliver them at one point of contact. AQA and C&G offer the Foundation Diploma in Engineering at Level 1 in the UK. As part of this course they offer a unit on 'Practical engineering and communication skills' which is offered in this qualification at NQF Level 2. Some of the competencies in this unit are similar to those in this qualification. The purpose of this unit is to introduce learners to the work of the Engineering sector. This unit will provide learners with the opportunity to develop Health and Safety awareness and will emphasise the importance of using safe working practices. This is a practically focused unit where learners will work with common materials and relevant tools and equipment to gain an understanding of how they can be used to make engineered products. One of the assessment criteria is that on Health and Safety standards. The learner can: > Health and Safety at Work guidelines. > Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) guidelines. >The correct procedure when preparing for an engineering activity. > Safe working procedures in the workshop. > Written safety instructions and displayed notices. > Identifying and eliminating hazards. > Checking all safety equipment. > Sourcing and confirming suitability of personal protective equipment (PPE). > Confirming process operating safety measures. National Standards Developed by Specialist Bodies: A variety of national standards developed by sector skills authorities in the United Kingdom has relevance for aspects of this qualification. Some of these bodies are Metal Processing and Allied operations (Metals Industry Skills & Performance Ltd), Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Petro-Chemicals Operations (Cogent) and others. Unit Title: Prepare for heating: This unit is about Preparing for heating to ensure the heating plant and equipment are ready to perform in an optimum manner. This involves ensuring: This unit is a suitable choice if one is working with reheating furnaces, soaking pits and batch and continuous annealing processes. This unit contains two elements: Unit Title: Carrying out finishing operations: This unit covers the skills and knowledge you will need to carry out finishing operations on materials or products which is used to either enhance its appearance, increase its protection or improve its safety properties. This unit on material finishing involves: India: India is a substantial producer of metals mainly steel. While websites for the many Indian steel companies provide much information, unlike in the UK they contain very little information on the kind of training and the respective levels at which the training that takes. The following information - pertinent to this qualification was obtained from the website of the National Institute of Secondary Steel Technology in India. Seminars/Workshops/Training/In-house Programmes are held on the following aspects: The United States: According to the websites of the American Iron and Steel Institute the education and training you need to work in the steel industry depends on the kind of job you want. Some companies prefer to hire high school or vocational school graduates for processing jobs. Most training is done on the job, however. Usually, workers start in unskilled jobs and learn by helping experienced workers. It takes up to four years to learn some of the most highly skilled jobs, such as those of blowers or rollers, but you may have to wait much longer for an opening in one of these positions. Steel companies often encourage their employees to take courses in subjects such as chemistry, physics, or metallurgy to upgrade their skills. To qualify for one of the maintenance trades such as those of machinists, millwrights, or pipe fitters, you usually have to serve a three- to four-year apprenticeship. Generally, apprentices are chosen from among high school or vocational school graduates already employed in the plant. To qualify for a job as an administrator or engineer, you usually need a bachelor's degree in the appropriate field. New professional employees often go through a formal training period in the plant before they are fully qualified. Advancement in plant jobs in the steel industry usually follows a set pattern. For example, a worker may start as a laborer and become a second helper, a first helper, and then a keeper before advancing to a job as a blast furnace blower. Companies usually consider such factors as experience and leadership ability when promoting workers into positions that require the supervision of other workers. The website of the United Steelworkers of America does not have any information regarding training in metals production at these levels. Canada: According to the Human Resources and Social Development Canada, in the primary metal industry most training is done on the job and does not involve the acquisition of formal certifiable skills. In recent years the steel division has made a major effort to increase levels of literacy and numeracy among its personnel. Much of this has been done through the Canadian Steel Trade and Employment Congress (CSTEC) which has developed a wide range of programs offered through secondary schools, community colleges, CEGEP's and, in some cases, through universities. CSTEC has also developed a distance learning initiative to teach basic skills. The levels at which training is done remains unspecified. While on-the-job training is the most common form of training in the primary metal industry, training is becoming increasingly formalised through the work of CSTEC. CSTEC has begun to develop standardised job descriptions for basic occupations in the industry and to design training packages in basic steel making practice. China and Japan: China is one of the world's biggest metals producers. Japan is a producer of steel. However, an intense internet search proved futile in terms of locating and obtaining information about training within the metal production at this level. In Japan, a search of the following steel producing companies yielded no results: Itoshu Corporation and Nippon Steel Corporation, the second largest steel producer in the world. New Zealand: The following Unit Standards are relevant to the competencies that will be acquired through this Qualification: > People credited with this unit standard are able to: separate non-ferrous from ferrous metals; maintain continuity of separator operations; and pack non-ferrous metals. > People credited with this unit standard are able to describe New Zealand's steel industry, and New Zealand manufactured steel products. Australia: The following information has been taken from the National Training Information Service (NTIS) of Australia. The Certificate ll in Engineering: Production Technology has some resemblance to this Qualification. The following standards are relevant to this Qualification: In conclusion, a Qualification very similar to this one could not be found. At this level most countries seem to offer skills programmes. This Qualification is far more comprehensive in terms of the competencies it offers. |
