In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
Learners who are entering the filed of general draughting require the skills, values and knowledge reflected in this unit standard.

Qualifying learners can understand how to plan and schedule for workflow processes. This will include monitoring the achievement of the workflow plan and document the best practices from the work undertaken within the draughting environment. 

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. 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    The ranges, as indicated under the specific outcomes, determine the scope and level of this unit standard:
  • The learner should be able to work autonomously with minimal supervision.
  • Work is generally, but not exclusively, carried out in a team environment.
  • Applicable draughting procedures are followed and understood.
  • Characteristics of the different materials are included.
  • Different cutting machines and basic welding techniques are included.
  • Drawings include mechanical and building. 
    		•

    PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: 
    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
