Description
PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
Purpose:
Learners found competent against this qualification will be able to install concrete reinforcing or steel structures in a safe, cost effective manner and in compliance with project specifications. For those who have been in the workplace for a long time, this Qualification can be used in the recognition of prior learning process to assess and recognise workplace skills acquired without the benefit of formal education and training. For the new entrant, this Qualification describes the learning outcomes required to participate effectively in a structured workplace. For education and training providers, this Qualification provides guidance for the development of appropriate learning programmes and assessment documentation. For employers, this Qualification enables skills gaps to be identified and addressed ensuring that productivity levels are increased and business objectives achieved. This Qualification has been developed to assist with the advancement of the learner across the Civil Engineering and Construction Industry and is aimed at Construction Concrete Reinforcing practitioners and Structural Steel Erectors in the Industry, ensuring the upliftment of standards in general. The combination of learning outcomes will provide the qualifying learner with vocational knowledge and skills appropriate to the context of Civil Engineering Construction environment. It will also equip learners with a foundation for further intellectual development, opportunities for gainful employment and reward for contributions to society. This Qualification will provide the Industry with qualified Construction Concrete Reinforcing practitioners, thereby facilitating social and economic transformation, empowerment and upliftment in the Industry and country in general. Qualifying learners will be capable of:

QUALIFICATION RULES |
The Qualification consists of a Fundamental, a Core and an Elective Component:
|
EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES |
1. Apply health, safety and environmental requirements during steelwork operations.
2. Perform steelwork operation related administration. 3. Prepare for the installation of steel structures or concrete reinforcing. |
ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
1.1 The principles and provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the National Environment Management Act and the Environment Conservation Act are explained in the context of steelwork operations. Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2: 2.1 A work plan is developed according to the calculated quantities and production rates in relation to a particular structural steel or concrete reinforcing civil engineering project. Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3: 3.1 The scope and nature of the construction industry is explained in the South African context. Integrated Assessment: Because assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the qualification. Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably lined. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated. Assessment of the communication, language, literacy and numeracy should be conducted in conjunction with other aspects and should be assessed in authentic Computer Aided Drawing contexts wherever possible. A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies, role-plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment. The term ‘Integrated Assessment’ implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies. 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 evaluated. The assessment of the critical cross-field outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of specific outcomes and embedded knowledge. |
INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
Traditionally there has always been dedicated education and training worldwide to cater for the needs of Steel Structure Erecting and Reinforced Concrete Installing. This has been the case in the South African context as well with separate qualifications for each of these occupations in the Civil Engineering Construction industry. The National Certificate in Construction: Steelworks has made a break from this tradition by combining these streams or strands of learning as the core component of these qualifications reflect common competencies.
The criteria for the registration of qualifications and the nature of the South African NQF make such a combined qualification possible, however, no similar examples were found for this international benchmarking exercise. Therefore qualifications dedicated to each of the streams of Reinforced concrete installing and Steel structure erecting were considered. An example of such a qualification is the offering in the United Kingdom, the Level 2 NVQ in Constructional Steelwork Site Operations (Ref. 100/5885/0) that requires the achievement of 10 mandatory and 4 optional units. In comparison to the South African unit standards, the following units from this qualification were found to reflect similarities in terms of complexity of learning, chunk size of learning, learning duration and learning outcomes:
