| PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
| Purpose:
This Qualification is for any individual who is, or wishes to be, involved in operating a lifting machine/s or dealing with challenges in a lifting machine. Typical learners will be persons who are currently performing a range of activities and processes in lifting machine environment who have not received any formal recognition for their skills and knowledge, or learners who wish to embark on this qualification or those with a broad knowledge and skills base who work with lifting machines and who want to specialise in certain aspects of the lifting machine environment. While the Qualification is primarily aimed at providing the lifting machine operator the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and attributes required to perform a variety of activities using lifting equipment, it does not preclude any other individual both within and outside the lifting machine environment from accessing it. This Qualification also enables the learner to work with a degree of responsibility during the performance of the lifting operation without working under direct supervision. The learner will also be able to display leadership skills among fellow workers in operating the lifting machine to perform a variety of tasks. The Core component contains lifting machine and generic competencies covering: The Elective component consists of three streams of specialisation in lifting machines, namely lift truck operations, crane operation and mobile elevated work platforms (MEWP), and a general stream which has Unit Standards related to the specialisation streams and Unit Standards relevant to the context in which the learner will operate. Each of these streams constitutes a set of appropriate Unit Standards that allow the learner to obtain competencies in particular areas within the lifting machine environment. The Qualification ensures progression of learning, enabling the learner to meet standards of service excellence required within the lifting machine field of learning and provide access to a higher Qualification within the same or a related sector. The Qualification also focuses on the skills, knowledge, values and attitudes required by a learner at this level and is designed to: Rationale: There are currently two Qualifications for lifting equipment on the NQF. However, both are for operating cranes and apply only to the construction context. They are the National Certificate: Construction: Crane Operations at NQF Level 2 and the National Certificate: Construction: Crane Operations at NQF Level 3. This National Certificate: Lifting Machine Operations at NQF Level 3 is the first of its kind to cover a variety of lifting machines including lift trucks, cranes and mobile elevated work platforms (MEWP). It is a generic qualification that encapsulates common competencies in the Fundamental and Core components and allows for the acquisition of specialised competencies in the Elective component. The Qualification encompasses both the NQF Levels 2, 3 and 4 competencies required by learners to operate the different lifting machines listed in the National Code of Practice for Training Providers (2005) - known as the NCOP and some of the new lifting machines being introduced into the South African market like the rubber-tyred gantry crane (RTG). The NCOP and has been incorporated into the Driven Machine Regulation 18 (11) of 1998. The needs within various manufacturing, production and construction sectors has created a demand for people with the ability to use the different types of lifting machines to perform a wide range of activities safely and efficiently, with due consideration for the context in which they operate. This sector employs a large number of people. Currently most learners complete a particular Unit Standard or set of Unit Standards and the training prescribed in the NCOP in order to obtain a licence to operate a particular lifting machine. This qualification will allow learners and operators in the industry the opportunity to complete an entire qualification should they wish to do so and use it to progress further in their career path. This national Qualification and its related Unit Standards were developed to standardise the accreditation of learning programmes, resulting in improved quality in terms of programme delivery. In terms of the learning pathway, the National Certificate: Lifting Machine Operations at NQF Level 3 will allow a learner to progress to work in plant production by completing the Further Education and Training Certificate (FETC): Plant Production at NQF Level 4. In addition, the learner could also acquire the Further Education and Training Certificate: Generic Management and pursue a career in management, at the appropriate level, within the lifting machine sector. The latter option contributes to transformation in the country as learners will acquire skills and competencies to gain access to positions within management structures. Other qualifications that allow for upward mobility are listed in the Articulation section. The National Certificate: Lifting Machine Operations at Level 3 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. The Qualification will allow learners to benchmark their competencies against international standards. For those who have been in the workplace for a long time, this Qualification represents part of the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process to acknowledge workplace skills acquired without the benefit of formal education or training. |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| It is assumed that learners are competent in Communication and Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 2.
Learners who have acquired the National Certificate: Constructions: Crane Operations at NQF Level 2 or any other relevant qualification. 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, physical demonstrations 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 sector or trade union movement 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". |

| QUALIFICATION RULES |
| A minimum of 122 credits is required to complete the Qualification which is made up of the following components:
Total: 122 credits. Motivation for the number of credits assigned to the Fundamental, Core and Elective Components: Fundamental Component: There are 36 credits - from Communications and Mathematical Literacy - allocated to this component at the level of the Qualification. All the Unit Standards designated as Fundamental are compulsory. Core Component: 55 credits have been allocated to Unit Standards designated as Core for the purpose of this Qualification. These Unit Standards provide the generic knowledge and competencies related to work in the lifting machine sector. All the Unit Standards indicated as Core are compulsory. Elective Component: The Elective Component consists of Unit Standards in three streams of specialisation and a general stream, each with its own set of Unit Standards. The specialisation streams are: Crane Operations, Lift Trucks Operations, and the Mobile Elevated Working Platforms (MEWPs). The General stream has both lifting machine related Unit Standards and other Unit Standards relevant to the context in which they will operate. Learners are to choose a specialisation area and Elective Unit Standards at least to the value of 31 credits. If the specialisation contains fewer credits than the minimum required for the Elective component, or if the learner chooses to operate just one type of machine and thereby does not achieve the full number of Elective credits required, then the learner must choose additional Elective Standards from the General stream to gain the number of credits required to complete the Qualification. Electives provide opportunities for the holistic development of the learner and allow for maximum flexibility and multi-skilling to enable the learners to achieve a qualification that is relevant to the context in which they work. The following specialisations are available: Specialisation Stream 1: Crane Operations: Within this specialisation one or more of the following Unit Standards may be acquired. However, it must be noted that in the case of certain cranes (eg. mobile and tower) learners must acquire the NQF Level 2 Unit Standard for that particular type of crane before doing the NQF Level 3 Unit Standard for that type of crane, which involves more complex learning and skills. Total Number of Credits for Crane Electives: 285 plus outstanding Specialisation Stream 2: Lift Truck Operations. Within this specialisation one or more of the following Unit Standards may be acquired. However, it must be noted that in the case of certain lift trucks learners must acquire the NQF Level 2 Unit Standard for that particular type of lift truck before doing the NQF Level 3 Unit Standard, which involves more complex learning and skills. Total Number of Credits for Lift Truck Electives: 52. Specialisation Stream 3: Mobile Elevated Working Platforms (MEWPs). Total Number of Credits for MEWPs Electives: 25.

| 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. |
