QUALIFICATION 50333: NQF LEVEL 5

ODETDP (Occupationally-directed Education, Training and Development Practices)

Rationale

Education, training and development (ETD) is a priority area within the South African context and is supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. In order to meet the ETD requirements of the workplace, within the context of a quality assured environment, it is important to be able to identify and recognize competent ETD practitioners at various levels. In particular, all training fields require the services of those ETD practitioners who not only have a broad understanding and skills across all ETD roles, but with deeper skills in relation to a selection of several key ETD roles. Such practitioners will be able to provide
leadership and management in relation to ETD practices, while providing specialist skills in key areas. The key strength of this qualification is in the choices that learners can make. The Diploma is significantly different from the level 5 certificate in that the diploma extends the core component from five ETD roles to eight ETD roles, and requires specialization in four key roles, whereas the certificate only requires one specialization. This qualification thus directly meets the needs of the field by providing learners who are competent in the general aspects of eight ETD roles, and with specialist skills in at least four roles. This qualification will contribute towards the promotion of well designed and implemented outcomes-based approaches to learning design, facilitation and assessment, within the context of a quality assured system.
