| PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
| This Qualification is aimed at level 4 on the National Qualification Framework. It provides learners with the opportunity to obtain competence in specialised cigarette packaging process technology namely, maintaining the packaging process and equipment to improve product quality and the 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: This Qualification provides current learners with the opportunity to advance from the Cigarette Packaging - NQF Level 3 Qualification or for persons entering the Tobacco Processing environment and others to obtain an integrated practical and theoretical grounding in the maintaining of the cigarette packaging process 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 Technology at NQF Level 4, 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 favourably both on the society and the economy of the country. |
| LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
| It is assumed that learners wishing to enter a programme leading to this qualification have demonstrated competence in mathematical literacy, communication and languages at NQF Level 3.
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. |

| QUALIFICATION RULES |
| To obtain this Qualification, all fundamental and core unit standards are compulsory. In addition, a learner must select one of the following combinations from the elective unit standards below:
(1): (2): OR |
| EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES |
| Exit level outcomes:
1. Identify, explain and execute the functions/duties/responsibilities required in the maintenance of a packaging machine in order to sustain optimum production levels and minimize down time and product loss. 2. Identify, explain and execute the functions/duties/responsibilities required in the maintenance of a film-wrapping machine in order to sustain optimum production levels and minimize down time and product loss. 3. Identify, explain and execute the functions/duties/responsibilities required in the maintenance of display bundle and over wrapping machines in order to sustain optimum production levels and minimize down time and product loss. 4. Identify, explain and execute the functions/duties/responsibilities required in the maintenance of a case packaging machine in order to sustain optimum production levels and minimize down time and product loss. 5. Perform scheduled production machine services to ensure serviceability and readiness for production. 6. Demonstrate the ability to function effectively in a team comprising of multi-cultural members. Critical cross-field outcomes: The following reflect the relevance of the critical cross-field outcomes applicable to this Qualification: 1. Identifying and solving problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made. 2. Working effectively with others as a member of a team. 3. Organizing and managing oneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively. 4. Communicating effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written persuasion. 5. Collecting, analysing, organising and critically evaluating information. 6. Using science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility towards the environment and health of others. 7. Demonstrating an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation. 8. Contributing to the personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of the society at large. |
| ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
| 1:
2: 3: 4: 5: 6: Integrated Assessment Criteria: Learners will produce 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 technology. |
