materials and additional learning resources (LTSM); produces, implements and evaluates assessment
instruments, and profiles learners. The ALT performs all these activities for adult learners at Level 1.
The Adult Literacy Teacher may work as an assistant to the Adult Education Teacher.
A qualified learner will be able to:
 Profile adult learners.
 Plan, structure, implement and evaluate a learning programme for adult learners.
 Plan, implement and evaluate assessment for adult learners.
Rationale:
The Sector intended to replace historical qualifications with this single occupational qualification: The
existing National Certificate: Adult Education and Training (AET) Practice (Level 4) was designed to
enhance access to qualifications for practitioners within the AET field mainly in Non Government
Organizations and rural areas. These practitioners would be able to facilitate a learning area/s at AET
Levels 1 and 2, using prescribed materials and methodology.
The National Higher Certificate: AET Practice (Level 5) was intended to train learners to facilitate a
learning programmer at AET Levels 1-4 and to work under supervision of a more senior practitioner.
And the National Diploma: AET Practice (Level 5) was intended to train learners to facilitate learning
areas at AET Levels 1-4, depending on choice of electives. It was envisaged that this AET Practitioner
would be able to mediate those specializations to adult learners embarking on the General Education
and Training Certificate (GETC): Adult Education and Training (ID 71751).
There are many adult learners in adult education centers throughout the country that are assisted by
a significant number of adult education support personnel who have no qualification. This
Occupational Certificate will fill that gap. In addition, people accessing Continuing Education and
Training facilities (which include AET centers now functioning as community learning centers as well
as the proposed pilot Community Education and Training Colleges) include adults who have not
attended school and/or have not completed their formal schooling as well as out of school youth (15 –
24 years old) who are not in employment, education or training (NEET). Learners acquiring this
occupational qualification will also be able to facilitate programmes for the NEET group of learners.
This qualification gives learners generic skills to profile adult (at AET Level 1) and NEET learners,
structure, implement and evaluate learning programmes and plan, implement and evaluate
assessments for adult and NEET learners. Learners acquiring this qualification will be able to use
these skills in a variety of contexts like adult education centers, prisons, private companies etc.
Typical learners will include those who are currently working in adult education centers or those who
have completed a Level 4 qualifications or Grade 12 at school.
Benefits to the learner include a nationally recognised qualification that will improve current
knowledge skills and competencies of adult education support personnel. Benefits to the country
mean that the many adult learners at adult education centers will have better qualified personnel to
enhance their educational experience. Benefits to the economy include the fact that better skilled and
more competent adults would increase the level of service delivery in all the contexts they are
currently employed in. In addition, those who are unemployed to access employment opportunities
