5 National Vocational Certificate in Road Traffic and Transport (Level 4) (Vehicle, Driver, and Instructor, examination and testing) level of qualification: 4 total credits for this qualification: 139 Compulsory Set A Compulsory Set B level 1 credits available 4 - level 2 credits available 9 - level 3 credits available level 4 credits available 64 - minimum totals required registration date: 2012 scheduled review date: 2017 body responsible for the qualification: Roads Authority other bodies whose unit standards are included in the qualification: Namibia Training Authority - NTA 1 purpose This Qualification has been developed to assist with the advancement of people who carry out vehicle, driver, and driving instructor, examination and testing operations. The intention of this qualification is to assist; Those who have been in the workplace for a long time, by using the recognition of prior learning process to assess and recognise workplace skills acquired without the benefit of formal education and training; New entrants, by describing the learning outcomes required to participate effectively, e.g. in a structured workplace programme; Education and training providers, by providing guidance for the development of appropriate learning programmes and assessment documentation; Employers, by enabling skills gaps to be identified and addressed ensuring that productivity levels are increased and business objectives achieved. Training programmes leading to the award of this qualification focus on the primary aim of the introduced Driving and Testing Manual (DTM), issued by the Ministry of Works and Transport in terms of regulation 117 of the Road Traffic and Transport Regulations of 2001, to assist driving examiners in becoming competent examiners and foster uniform standards in driving testing procedures and competency assessment of potential drivers in Namibia. It recognises people who have the competencies required for carrying out vehicle, driver, and instructor, examination and testing with professional skills in customer care and a high level of work ethical behaviour, and to record data on the Namibia Traffic Information System. As a result, this qualification provides opportunities for paid employment acting as a reward for contributions to society by facilitating social

6 and economic transformation, empowerment and general upliftment of the vehicle and driver examiner industry and country in general. Being awarded with this qualification does not enable a person to work as a Vehicle and Driver Examiner. In order to do so, a person must be in possession of a professional authority (PA) and a valid, current, and relevant driving licence for being appointed by the Roads Authority. This qualification is based on the assumption that people entering programmes of study leading towards the certificate have already demonstrated ability in fundamental automotive mechanical skills, and preferably worked as Examiner Assistant at a vehicle testing station. Consequently, the National Vocational Certificate in Automotive Engineering (Automotive Mechanics) (Level 2), or the demonstration of equivalent knowledge and skills, is a prerequisite for entry to this qualification. This qualification represents a stage of progression to obtain a diploma in the relevant field of study (Road Traffic and Transport) to qualify for work as a Principal Examiner, or to continue with a career in the automotive industry (National Vocational Certificate in Automotive Engineering Automotive Mechanics, Level 4). 2 regulations for the qualification 2.1 summary of qualification requirements This qualification will be awarded to people who are credited with the requirements of both compulsory sets. 2.2 detailed qualification requirements Compulsory Set A The following unit standards are required FIELD: Subfield: Domain: LAW, MILITARY SCIENCE AND SECURITY Road Traffic and Transport Vehicle, Driver, and Instructor, examination and testing Unit No. Unit Standard Title Level Credit VDIET001 VDIET002 VDIET003 Record and authorise test results on the Namibia Traffic Information System Apply skills of customer care in the work environment Demonstrate knowledge of road traffic legislation pertaining to vehicle, driver, and instructor, examination and testing VDIET004 Inspect motor vehicles for roadworthiness 4 18 VDIET005 Inspect light motor vehicles for roadworthiness 4 10 VDIET006 Comply with health and safety rules and 2 5 4
