PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

Graphic Design professionals work alongside marketing, advertising and media teams, using their skills in visual communication to market products, thereby maximising profit growth for the client’s business.

This Certificate programme focuses on website design, production and interactivity. You will use state-of-the-art multimedia authoring and layout packages to bring your creative ideas to life.
You will learn how to design, edit code, customise and enhance a variety of web design features.

Rationale:

This Exit-Level Qualification is targeted at learners who do not have access to face-to-face tuition (either through lack of mobility, lack of a Further Education and Training college in their area, or full-time work commitments). It will allow unemployed learners to enter the industry, but it also allows those that have worked in the industry for years with no formal Qualification to obtain one; without having to give up their work in order to study.

The Qualification prescribes an internship after the final summative assessments, rather than workplace-based training during the programme.

ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 
Integrated Assessment:

Assessment of competence is done through a combination of formative and summative assessment methodologies, tools and procedures, which will not discriminate against learners in an unjust or invalid way. Assessment practices are fair, transparent, valid and reliable. The purpose of assessment is to determine whether a learner has met the outcomes of the Qualification in terms of theory and practice. Integrative techniques are therefore used to assess applied competence. Candidates should be required to demonstrate that they can perform the outcomes with understanding and insight.

Assessment should ensure that all exit level Outcomes and Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are evaluated. Assessment of the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of the Exit-Level Outcomes. The Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are implicit in the learning and assessment programmes are designed to extend and further reflect integration.

All subjects include formative assessments, comprising a range of tests, tasks and assignments. A learner’s formative mark counts 40% towards the theory mark of a subject. All subjects have a final examination. The final examination counts 60% towards the theory mark of a subject. In order to achieve the qualification, a learner must:

  • Pass all required subjects exams with at least a 40% pass mark, obtain a final mark of at least 40%.
  • Pass the internship/practical with at least 50%.

    The theory component (the formative plus examination mark) will count 80% towards the final mark, while the internship/practical will count 20% towards the final mark. 

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
This Qualification was benchmarked against the Web Design and Web Database Certificate programme from Bickenhall College of Computing in the UK. Their qualification consists of the following modules:

  • HTML Language.
  • Photoshop.
  • Dreamweaver.
  • Flash.
  • Javascript.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
  • SQL Language.
  • ASP.Net Dabase Programming.

    Because of the difference in levels across the different countries, difficulty was found in making actual direct comparisons, level to level. It was found that this Qualification commences with teaching the learners the basics of Computers, the Web and Design before moving on to more intensive computer programs and languages. This it is argued is far more suited to the South African context, as this Qualification focuses on the learner with no previous experience, as well as the learner with prior drawing experience. 

ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
Access to Qualifications on the same level:

Learners who are (have been) registered for the same or another related Qualification on NQF Level 4 will be able to horizontally enter another relevant learning programme on the same level, given the rules of access have been complied with. Such learners will retain credit for relevant Unit Standards that have been passed at the previous institution and could enroll for a relevant certificate level programme. 

MODERATION OPTIONS 
  • Assessors and moderators assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of an assessor against this Qualification must be registered as an assessor and/or moderator with a relevant Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQA) Body.
  • Formative assessment will be conducted internally with internal moderation being done by registered moderators. The moderation body is the relevant Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQA).
  • Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments at exit points of the Qualification. 

CRITERIA FOR THE REGISTRATION OF ASSESSORS 
For an applicant to register as an assessor for this Qualification, the applicant should:

  • Hold a relevant Qualification at least on NQF Level 5.
  • Have workplace experience as a business manager.
  • Be declared competent in all the Exit Level Outcomes of the Qualification as stipulated by South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
