| PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
| This Qualification is aimed at level 3 on the National Qualification Framework. It provides learners with the opportunity to obtain competence in specialised cigarette packaging processes and practices, namely preparing for packaging, maintaining the packing processes, shutting down and cleaning as well as quality monitoring and providing opportunity for learners to grow in this specific field.
The fundamental learning, which learners will acquire, will allow them to be able to compile verbal and written communications and perform basic calculations. This Qualification complies with the objectives of the NQF with regard to facilitating access to, mobility and progression within the cigarette packaging industry. The Qualification focuses on the skills, knowledge, values and attitude required to progress further in the industry. The intention is to release the potential of people, in order for them to grow, develop and become more competent workers. This Qualification will furthermore add value to the individuals, their workplace and the economy as a whole. Rationale for the Qualification This Qualification will allow persons currently in, or aspiring to enter the tobacco processing environment and others to obtain an integrated practical and theoretical grounding in the operation of cigarette packaging and the functions thereof. This will ensure a portable, nationally recognized Qualification that will: The typical range of learners is the currently employed, unemployed and other persons, who want to enter a learning programme to obtain a National Certificate in Cigarette Packaging at NQF Level 3, to continue building a career path in this industry. Improved levels of knowledge and skills lead to greater ability to produce at more competitive costs and better quality, which will impact favorably both on the society and the economy of the country. The learner will have demonstrated an ability to make decisions and consider a range of options after completion of the following unit standards in three specified areas: Fundamental learning: Core learning: Elective learning: |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| Learners accessing this Qualification will be able to demonstrate competence against the numeracy and literacy at NQF level 2 or equivalent.
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) This Qualification may be achieved in part or completely through the recognition of prior learning, which includes formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience. Where RPL is required the learner will need to prove applied competence in that specific area in order to obtain recognition of that skill and / or knowledge. Evidence can be presented in a variety of forms, including international or previous local Qualifications, reports, testimonials mentioning functions performed, work records, portfolios, videos of practice and performance records. The assessment methods and tools to be used to assess Prior Learning shall be decided upon jointly by the assessor and the learner. |

2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Integrated Assessment Criteria: Unit standards associated with this Qualification must be used to assess specific and critical cross-field outcomes. Assessment should focus in an integrated way on determining the competence of the learner in terms of the overall purpose and title of this Qualification. The term integrated assessment also implies that the theoretical and practical components should be assessed together and assess combinations of practical, foundational and reflective competencies. Assessment activities should be done in real workplace situations and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show that the learner is able to display the competencies to the real work situation. All assessments should be conducted in line with the following documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work of learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent. Learners wishing to be assessed will need to provide evidence of the following: If the identifying and solving of problems, team work, organising one-self, the using of applied science, the implication of actions and reactions in the world as a set of related systems are not clear from the observation a method of oral questioning or a cases study should be applied to determine the whole person development and integration of applied knowledge and skills. |
| INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
| Website benchmarking was done with Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and Scotland but none could be found. Furthermore, the International Tobacco Industry was also investigated for relevant Qualification information, but even within the Industry, nothing could be found to make Industry specific comparisons.
Therefore this could be regarded as one of the first formalised Qualifications in cigarette packaging. |
