11 Page Learnerships: 4.1. National Certificate in Professional Driving Unit Standard: Credits: 122 NQF Level: 03 Duration: 55 Days PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION Purpose: The purpose of the qualification is to ensure competent professional driving competence in the road transport sector, thus improving earning capacity of professional drivers as well as transport sector professionalism and economic growth. The qualification is set to create an environment for growth and development of learners, by improving the employment prospects and marketable competence of drivers, and accelerating the redress of past unfair discrimination in education, training and employment opportunities. By setting the minimum standards contained in this qualification, professional driving education and training will also improve. The professional status of drivers of commercial vehicles will be enhanced by awarding a formal qualification in recognition of their professional competence. This qualification is designed to allow maximum access to, mobility and progression within education and training, and within a career path in the transport sector. Competence achieved in this qualification provides building blocks towards NQF level 4 qualifications. The inclusion of communication and language, and mathematic literacy requirements contributes to learner development beyond simply the requirements for professional driving. Qualified learners are capable of: Obtaining and communicating road transport operational information. Assessing loads against given permissible load requirements. Planning road transport service delivery that meets specified requirements. Driving a vehicle conveying a specific freight commodity or category of passengers. Qualified learners also elect to achieve at least one of the following specialisations: Using computerised spreadsheets and word processing. Planning the establishment of a small business according to relevant business principles. Conducting vehicle maintenance according to specified procedures. Operating lifting equipment according to specified procedures. Rationale: Learners credited with this qualification are working, or intend working, in the commercial road transport industry as drivers. This qualification builds on light vehicle driving competence, and credits competent drivers, who are driving vehicles carrying freight or passengers for commercial purposes.

12 Page 12 The demand for this qualification lies primarily in the transport industry's requirement for drivers to have employable competence beyond that of a basic driving license and professional driving permit. Currently, more than 7000 individuals work in the sector that would benefit from this qualification. Learners can be persons entering the sector, persons already working in the sector as drivers, persons already working in the field in a nondriving capacity, and/or self-employed persons within the sector. There is a critical need in the industry to recognise learner competence regarding professional driving, and to ensure that legal requirements are adhered to. In South Africa, the transport industry is experiencing a shortage of competence in and good training for professional driving. Direct costs of poor driving include human and economic costs. Improved professional driving could influence the South African economy in direct transport, social and economic costs alone to the value of millions of Rands each year. By improving professional driving competence, road safety is improved and social and economic costs associated with road accidents are decreased. Learning Assumed To Be In Place And Recognition Of Prior Learning It is assumed that learners have already attained NQF Level 2 Mathematical Literacy and Communication competence National Certificate: Freight Handling Unit Standard: Credits: 128 NQF Level: 03 Duration: 35 Days PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION Purpose: The safe handling of freight is dependent upon the applicable people complying with the relevant procedures and applying the necessary skills to their handling.

Rationale: People involved in freight handling play a key role in the movement of goods since they represent the physical link that ensures that the freight is efficiently and safely handled. The required knowledge and skills can be used in many other goods handling environments or equally as well in a full warehousing environment. On-the-job experience can progressively lead to positions of more responsibility in the safe handling of goods and freight. The majority of learners for this Qualification are likely to be either unemployed persons wishing to enter the industry, or persons currently working in the greater freight handling sector that wish to improve their skills and enhance their own career path opportunities. The Qualification will provide learners with the opportunity to acquire the essential knowledge needed to further their studies in differing specialist areas within the transport sector of the South African economy. This Qualification reflects workplace-based needs in the wider Freight Handling Industry, both now and for the future. Freight Handling is diverse in its nature, so a fairly wide range of competencies are required by employees. The Qualification aims to provide the foundational and initial skills required for an individual in the industry to handle freight successfully; be an effective team member and undertake those tasks required to contribute to the effective processing of freight.

14 Page Further Education and Training Certificate: Road Transport Supervision Unit Standard: Credits: 138 NQF Level: 04 Duration: 35 Days PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION Purpose: The purpose of this Qualification is to facilitate training and educational opportunities for individuals currently employed in the Southern African Road Transport industry or those wishing to pursue a career in this industry. Individuals will have the opportunity to specialise in either freight or passenger related fields. The training will be applicable and appropriate to companies where transport is a primary or secondary function. The qualifying learner will obtain the relevant underpinning knowledge of road transport operations in order to apply this to all assigned functions. These core components of learning include knowledge of transport logistics operations, implementing of routing and scheduling, principles of road transport management, marketing strategies and decision making and problem solving to manage the transportation of passengers or freight that is applied in operating successfully in a road transport logistics environment. Rationale: This Qualification has been designed as the second of three levels in road transport; to address the specific need as expressed by the road transport industry of South Africa. This Qualification serves as a progression from the National Certificate in Road Transport at NQF level 3 into the specialized area of road transport against the backdrop of the transport industry as a whole. It would serve to foster professionalism in the Southern African Road Transport industry and form the basis for further learning towards the National Certificate in Transport Management at NQF level 5. This Qualification provides the bridging opportunity for individuals wishing to pursue a career in road transport operations and management. It would also serve to formally recognize the experience gained by learners employed in the sector. This Qualification equips a learner for employment and/or career advancement opportunities within the Transport Industry of Southern Africa, as well as enables him/her to pursue more advanced levels of study in this specific field.

15 Page Further Education and Training Certificate: Freight Forwarding and Customs Compliance Unit Standard: Credits: 135 NQF Level: 04 Duration: 12 Months of which 30 Classroom Days PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION Purpose: This Qualification is to provide learners with the conceptual framework and the skills necessary to perform routine functions within the Freight Forwarding and Customs Compliance environment.

Rationale: It has been estimated that logistics costs as a whole constitute at least 14% of the cost of goods in South Africa, which is at least 50% above the global norm. A large proportion of this overspend is attributed to inefficiencies caused by lack of competence. In order to become world competitive South Africa needs to deliver its goods on time at the right place and at an acceptable cost. To do this requires the establishment and maintenance of world class supply chains. Competent international logistics and supply chain management practitioners and support staff are required for this purpose. This is a Qualification in a series for learners who want to follow a career in the field of freight forwarding and Customs compliance. This Qualification focuses on developing skills and knowledge necessary to perform in a competent manner in this industry.
