Purpose:
The
purpose of the qualification is to build the knowledge and skills required by
employees in junior management who have had schooling below NQF level 3. It is
intended to empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values
required to operate confidently as junior managers in the South African
community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and
changing world of work.
As a qualification that covers management, it provides a framework for learners
to develop competencies that will enable them to become competent junior
managers. It introduces some theoretical concepts, requires the application of
a limited base of knowledge and requires a well-developed range of skills that
will enable learners to be informed workers in their chosen industry. It
provides a balanced learning experience that allows flexible access to further
education, life long learning, higher education and to productive employment in
a range of occupational contexts. It provides an opportunity for learners to
learn and apply academic skills in relation to management and will provide them
with skills to adapt to changes in work procedures and processes in business
and industry.
The National Certificate in Management: Level 3 is intended for personnel already
employed and other learners who intend to follow a career in management. The
unit standards classified as core may be added to other industry qualifications
to provide a management focus and align qualifications to the work done by
learners. Practical competence is within a number of contexts some of which may
be non-routine. The focus is on comparison, choice, interpretation and
application of knowledge.
