This qualification does not replace any other qualification and is not replaced by any other qualification.

PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

The purpose of the Qualification is to build the knowledge and skills required by employees in management who have either had schooling at or below NQF level 4, including learners who have gaps in Communication in the language of business and/or mathematical literacy that could inhibit progress in a career path in management in financial services. It is also intended for learners in management who are not yet ready to learn at NQF Level 5. The Qualification should empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently as managers in the South African financial services community and to respond to the challenges specific to the financial services environment and the changing world of work in the industry.

The Qualification introduces some theoretical concepts, requires the application of knowledge and a well-developed range of specialist skills that will enable learners to be informed workers in the financial services industry. It requires the ability to adjust or amend an application of a common solution within relevant parameters and the ability to motivate the change using relevant evidence. It provides a balanced learning experience that allows flexible access to further education, life long learning, further education and to productive employment in the financial services sector.

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: Level 4 is intended for personnel already employed and other learners who intend to follow a career in management in financial services. The focus is on analysis and evaluation skills and application of knowledge.

Rationale for the qualification

The Financial Services sector is highly regulated and the consequences of non-compliance for the industry are far-reaching in terms of both financial and reputational risk. Managers in Financial Services require a sound knowledge of the financial services environment, the capacity to understand broad financial and legal aspects and knowledge of and skills in management. In the Financial Services industry managers are appointed based on technical knowledge, experience and potential managerial ability. It is therefore assumed that learners attempting this Qualification are technically competent in a specific aspect or sub-sector of financial services and have a sound knowledge of the financial services sector as a whole.

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: NQF Level 4 is designed to meet the needs of learners in the financial services sector who require management skills including first line managers of business units in medium to large organisations and managers in SMEs that are part of the financial services sector. This Qualification is for learners who work at the first level at which the management function is performed in the financial services sector. The Qualification is intended as a vehicle to fast track learners from previously disadvantaged groups and other learners to acquire the knowledge and skills of management that are required to build a pool of learners with management expertise in the financial services industry and enable the industry to meet Employment Equity targets.

The term business unit in this Qualification implies a cost centre, section, department or SME. Managers at this level may or may not be required to interact with senior management. They are accountable for systems and the implementation of the strategic requirements of an organisation. They may write policies and procedures that in turn impact on supervisors and team leaders. It is envisaged that learners who complete this Qualification will be engaged in work roles in financial services organisations where they can be part of the employment decision-making process and their specialist financial services industry knowledge can impact on recruitment and employment decisions. They therefore need to be familiar with employment trends in the market and current events that could impact on the financial services sector. Managers at this level in the financial services sector have decision-making powers and are involved in counselling.

The move in the financial services sector is to flat management structures and away from traditional pyramiding. The level of the Qualification is therefore not linked to grading levels or an organisation's remuneration structure. Managers at this level are involved in high-level decision-making and high-level reporting. They may be required to do presentations to senior management and are responsible for performance management interaction.

Managers in financial services at this level require extensive technical expertise. They may serve as advisors on committees, boards and focus groups as part of their network function where their technical skill is required to make recommendations. They have input into development issues such as the training strategy of the department and have a broad co-ordination function between other departments in terms of timing, funding and implementation plans of their own business unit and the impact of changes on their business unit.

At this level managers require a wide knowledge and understanding of the financial services industry and their particular sub-sector. They need insight into how events in the financial services environment can impact on business processes and delivery and how the work of other sections or business units can impact on their unit.

At level 4, there is greater specialisation in a particular field and the manager's role may be mainly administrative or may require specialisation in law or other specific industry knowledge. Managers may not always manage people, but may perform a professional or managerial function. This Qualification works from the premise that managers require specialist technical knowledge and skill as well as behavioural skills. Managers engaged in enterprise-wide risk management, who do not necessarily manage people, could elect to do the National Certificate in Risk Management: NQF Level 4.

Management positions at this level include, but are not limited to first line managers and section heads. Queries are inevitably escalated to them and they are expected to act within their level of authority and may be required to refer to a manager at a higher level.

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: NQF Level 4 exposes learners to a broad set of Core Competencies covering a number of aspects of management. It is intended for learners who:

Have attained a National Certificate in a Financial Services sector: Level 3 and wish to continue on a path of life-long learning in the field of management within a financial services environment.

Were previously disadvantaged and were therefore denied access to Further Education and Training or management positions in financial services.

Wish to extend their range of skills and knowledge of management so that they progress within the financial services industry.

Are first line managers in the financial services industry and wish to improve their management skills.

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: Level 4 allows the individual to work towards a nationally recognised Qualification. It is flexible enough to be offered in formal education and as occupational directed workplace based training for learners already employed in the financial services industry. It aims to develop informed and skilled managers. Skills, knowledge, values and attitudes reflected in the Qualification are building blocks that will be developed further at NQF Level 5. The intention is:

To promote the development of knowledge and management skills which are required in the financial services sector.

To provide opportunities for people to move up the value chain.

To form the basis of learnerships in the financial services sector.

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: NQF Level 4 should assist managers in financial services organisations to contribute to improved productivity, compliance and efficiency within the financial services environment. It should provide the means for current managers to receive recognition of prior learning and to upgrade their skills.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

It is assumed that learners are competent in Communication and Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 3.

Reccognition of prior learning

The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: 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 a relevant accredited ETQA.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may allow for accelerated access to further learning.

Credit towards Unit Standards is subject to quality assurance by a relevant accredited ETQA and is conducted by a workplace assessor.

Exit points for learners who do not complete the Qualification

Learners will be credited with Unit Standards in which they have proved
competence.

Learners who complete individual Unit Standards but who do not
complete this Qualification retain their credits. However, should the substance of the Unit Standards change, the validity of the credit towards the Qualification may be reviewed.

Learners who change their provider or learning site before completing
the Qualification may transfer their credits to the new learning site.

An official, original SAQA record of learning is required as proof of learning before the learner is officially transferred to the new learning site.

Integrated assessment

Assessment practices must be fair, transparent, valid and reliable and should ensure that no learner is disadvantaged. Learners who wish to be assessed against this standard should direct enquiries to a relevant ETQA.

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 workplace 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 Unit Standards, 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.

Before The National Certificate in Financial Services: Management: Level 4 is awarded learners are required to demonstrate competence in the required Unit Standards and complete a summative assessment based on the exit outcomes of the Qualification.

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
