PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
The purpose of the qualification is to build knowledge and skill required by employees in long term insurance who have had schooling at or below NQF level 4. It is intended to empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently as individuals in the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and changing world of work in the financial services industry. It should add value to the qualifying learner in terms of enrichment of the person, status and recognition.

As a qualification that covers long term insurance related learning, it provides a framework for learners to develop competencies that will give them insight into the Long Term Insurance sub sector which includes life, healthcare benefits administration and employee benefits. It introduces a basic understanding of the key terms, rules, concepts and principles of the field that will enable learners to be informed workers in the industry. It provides a balanced learning experience that allows flexible access to life long learning, higher education and to productive employment in long term insurance. It provides an opportunity for learners to learn and apply academic skills in relation to the workplace and will allow for multi-skilling.

The National Certificate in Long Term Insurance: Level 4 is intended for personnel employed in long term insurance. The focus is on basic information gathering, analysis, presentation and the ability to apply knowledge of the field to solve routine problems within given frameworks.

Qualifying learners are capable of
  • Carrying out basic research, information gathering and analysis.
  • Interpreting current affairs and their influence on long term insurance.
  • Managing risk in their own lives and in a business environment.
  • Operating a computer for business purposes.
  • Understanding the nature and scope of long term insurance.
  • Understanding retirement funding in South Africa.
  • Applying legislation that regulates long term insurance.
  • Managing an information system
  • Understanding the relationship between needs and long term insurance products.
  • Understanding the different products marketed by the industry.
  • Recognising fraud in long term insurance.
  • Understanding the role of insurance in a business environment.
  • Processing numerical and text data.
  • Maintaining an information system.
  • Recognising the effect of HIV/AIDS in the insurance industry.

    Depending on the unit standards selected as electives, the learner will become competent in basic skills relating to
  • Understanding funeral insurance.
  • Using the Internet and e-mail
  • Understanding unit trusts as an investment frequently used by life insurers.
  • Understanding the impact of a healthy lifestyle on insurance cover.
  • Understanding healthcare funding in South Africa.
  • Marketing a single need product to a niche market.
  • Understanding the types of statutory insurance that is compulsory in South Africa.
  • Accessing information to respond to client enquiries.
  • Communicating verbally with clients.
  • Understanding the sales process.
  • Knowing how to retain or expand business

    These unit standards are intended as building blocks for the further development of skills that will make the learner a more fulfilled, informed, efficient and cost effective worker in the industry. This should result, in turn, in more effective and efficient service to the consumer and should make the industry more competitive in the global market.


    Rationale for the qualification:

    The National Certificate in Long Term Insurance: Level 4 is designed to meet the needs of learners in a variety of positions in the long term insurance sub sector. It is a generic qualification with specialisation in a selected career path in the long term insurance industry. It is first step for learners who:
  • Have attained the National Certificate in Insurance: Level 3 and wish to continue on a path of life-long learning specialising in long term insurance.
  • Were previously disadvantaged or who were unable to complete their schooling and were therefore denied access to Further Education and Training.
  • Have worked in the long term insurance sub sector for many years, but have no formal qualifications in their area of specialisation.
  • Wish to extend their range of skills and knowledge of the industry so that they can become knowledge workers in the industry.
  • Are in a learnership agreement in the Long Term Insurance sub sector.
  • Have recently taken up a position in long term insurance.

    The National Certificate in Long Term Insurance: Level 4, allows the individual to work towards a nationally recognised qualification. It is flexible enough to accommodate both learners in formal education and learners already employed in the Long Term Insurance sub sector. It aims to develop informed and skilled learners in the Long Term Insurance sector. The qualification at this level is the start of a career path in one of the areas of specialisation in long term insurance, but is still generic enough to allow maximum mobility within the industry. Skills, knowledge, values and attitudes reflected in the qualification are building blocks that will be developed further in Level 5. The intention is:
  • To promote the development of knowledge and skills that are required in the insurance industry.
  • To release the potential of people.
  • To provide opportunities for people to move up the value chain.
  • To provide opportunities for lifelong learning for people who work in long term insurance where there was previously no specialised qualification.

    Learners already employed in the long term insurance industry at this level do work that requires a well developed knowledge of appropriate legislation and the industry in general, and a range of skills. The work roles include but are not limited to:

  • Internal Broker Consultants
  • Call centre operators
  • Personal benefits
  • Corporate benefits
  • Intermediaries
  • Client Service providers
  • Service agents
  • Product developers
  • Marketing
  • Life administration

    The National Certificate in Long Term Insurance: Level 4 should produce knowledgeable, multi-skilled workers who are able to contribute to improved productivity and efficiency within the long term insurance industry. It should provide the means for current workers to receive recognition of prior learning, to upgrade their skills and achieve a nationally recognised qualification. It should also assist new entrants to the industry. The qualification is structured in a way that exposes learners to different aspects of long term insurance so that there is scope for multi-skilling within the sub sector. It is anticipated that this qualification will promote the notion of life long learning.

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The unit standards that make up the certificate are the building blocks of knowledge and skill that are necessary for a proposed level 5 diploma. For the most part only communication, mathematical literacy and financial literacy at level 3 are assumed. Learners who have not previously received credit in the following unit standards, which are regarded as essential in all positions in the sub sector, are required to offer the standards as electives for this qualification.
  • Process numerical data and text information in an insurance environment.
  • Maintain an existing information system in an insurance environment.
  • Recognise the effects of HIV/AIDS in the insurance industry and workplace, and indicate the precautions that are necessary to avoid unnecessary transmission of the HI Virus.

    Learners may offer the following unit standards (from NSB 4) as electives in this qualification provided they have not previously received credit for the unit standards as part of Communication at level 3:
  • Access information to respond to client enquiries in a financial services environment.
  • Communicate verbally with clients in a financial services environment.


    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    The National Certificate in Long Term Insurance: Level 4 allows open access. Provision has been made for prior learning to be recognised if a learner is able to demonstrate competence in the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes implicit in this qualification. Application for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) should be made to INSQA or a relevant accredited ETQA.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may allow for accelerated access to further learning.
  • Credit towards a unit standard is subject to quality assurance by INSQA or a relevant accredited ETQA and is conducted by a workplace assessor.

    EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES 
    Qualifying learners should be capable of:
  • Co-ordinating with others.
  • Applying the methods, procedures and techniques used in long term insurance.
  • Analysing new developments in the industry and researching aspects of long term insurance.
  • Operating as informed employees in the long term insurance sub sector.
  • Understanding the structure and the market of long term insurance and their role and place in that structure.
  • Gathering, analysing and presenting information.
  • Operating within clearly defined contexts within the Long Term Insurance Act with limited scope for decision making and responsibility.
  • Understanding legislation that regulates long term insurance at a basic level of understanding.

    The learner is able to demonstrate ability to:
  • Identify and solve problems related to long term insurance in which responses show that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made.
  • Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation or community. As the qualification is intended to be part of a learnership it is unlikely that the learner would work alone.
  • Organise and manage oneself and one`s activities responsibly and effectively in that it is expected that the learner will be responsible for his/her own learning and for organising his/her own work allocated tasks responsibly in the work environment. S/he is required to complete research assignments timeously and to apply knowledge of different aspects of long term insurance. S/he should be able to provide for his/her own financial security and manage his/her own finances.
  • Collect, organise and critically evaluate information. These competencies are built into the assessment criteria in many of the unit standards and the learner is required to do research projects and analyse information from the media.
  • Communicate effectively using visual, mathematics and language skills in the modes of oral and/or written presentations. These competencies are an integral part of all the unit standards and are built into the assessment criteria.
  • Use science and technology effectively and critically showing responsibility towards the environment and the health of others in that the long term insurance environment is technology driven and very few activities take place without the application of technology. The inclusion of computer end user standards ensures that this critical cross-field outcome receives attention. The learner is also expected to access information from electronic media and use a computerised data base.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation in that references are made wherever applicable to the learners` part in the big picture and how his/her actions have implications up and down the line.

    In addition this qualification contributes to the full personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of the society at large, by making it the underlying intention of any programme of learning to make the individual aware of the importance of:
  • Reflecting on and exploring a variety of strategies to learn more effectively in order to become an informed worker in long term insurance.
  • Being culturally and aesthetically sensitive across a range of social contexts in dealing with diverse people in the workplace including customers, co-workers and people who are surveyed or interviewed. The inclusion of an additional official South African language further supports this outcome.

    ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 
    Integrated assessment:

    Assessment practices must be fair, transparent, valid, reliable and should ensure that no learner is disadvantaged. Learners who wish to be assessed against this standard should direct enquiries to the Insurance Sector Quality Authority, INSQA.

    The focus of assessment must be on the assessment of the learning outcomes rather than learning outputs. The specific outcomes guide the learning and training process towards the outcomes on a continuous basis. The purpose is to determine whether the outcomes have been attained. Situations should present a wide range of options. Applications should require significant choices from a wide range of procedures and in a number of contexts.
  • Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably linked. Where appropriate, assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values indicated in the various unit standards should be integrated. Assessment in communication, mathematical literacy and financial literacy should use authentic insurance contexts wherever practical.
  • Assessment has a formative monitoring function. Formative assessment should be used to assess gaps in the learners` skill and knowledge and to indicate where there is a need for expanded opportunities. The goal is to promote learning and to assess the efficacy of the teaching and learning process. Feedback from assessment informs teaching and learning and allows for the critique of outcomes, methodology and materials. Formative assessment is diagnostic and as such it should guide the learner and the trainer. It is continuous and is used to plan appropriate learning experiences to meet the learner`s needs. It provides information about problems experienced at different stages in the learning process. As it is criterion referenced, if the learner has met the assessment criteria, s/he has achieved the outcomes.
  • Assessment should also have a summative component. Summative assessment may be used on completion of a unit standard, but should not be the only form of assessment.
  • A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Assessment should take place in an authentic context as far as is possible. Where it is not possible to assess competence in the workplace, simulations, case studies and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.
  • Integration implies that theoretical and practical components should where possible be assessed together.
  • Integrative techniques should be used to assess applied competence. Learners should be required to demonstrate that they can perform the outcomes with understanding and insight
  • Assessment should ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are evaluated. Assessment of the critical cross-field outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of the specific outcomes. The critical cross-field outcomes are implicit in some unit standards and programmes should be designed to extend and further reflect the integration.
