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

PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

The purpose of the NQF level 5 Public Administration qualification is to provide a structured programme for public officials that work with senior management officials so as to provide support to strategic leadership and management needed to transform all spheres of government. The need for well-qualified efficient, client-oriented public officials is therefore identified as a priority in all the three spheres of government. The National Certificate in Public Administration (NQF Level 5) is aimed at practitioners working in the public sector. It is a qualification in a career pathway towards an accomplished public administration and management specialist.

The National Certificate in Public Administration consists of Exit Level Outcomes covering service delivery, knowledge management, formulation of public sector policies, risk management, applying the public sector legislative framework, managing people, leadership, financial administration, project management and information technology for the public sector. The competencies covered in the proposed unit standards encapsulate the competencies required by public officials working at the operational level.

The qualification will therefore enhance the ability of the qualifying learner as a public finance official to perform the necessary administration tasks expected as well as improve management abilities. In this way, the qualification enhances transferability of skills within different spheres of the public sector. At the same time, a learner will gain a firm foundation required for furthering studies at NQF levels 6 and 7. This qualification enables transferability of skills between the private and public sector.

With regard to the implementation of public administration and management reforms, the qualification serves, as a basis of an effective implementation process by defining and identifying those competencies required by technical public officials. The possession of relevant knowledge, skills and attitude by public officials is crucial to the implementation of public sector administration and management reforms. Thus, the qualification contributes to the upfliftment of South African economy in line with the aims of existing skills development legislations through enhancing of skill levels of public sector employees.

Qualifying learners could follow a career within the Public Sector's:
  • Financial Services.
  • Administration.
  • Management.
  • Accounting.
  • Project/Public Entity Management.

    Rationale:

    The public officials in South Africa operate in a wide variety of roles within the public administration and management structures. Often they work in diverse operating and service delivery circumstances. Therefore, they have to be widely acknowledged for their understanding and awareness of the unique characteristics and challenges they may face in the process of service delivery.

    The sustainability of South Africa's democratic process and developmental governance are strongly linked to capacity building within the three spheres of government, i.e. the national, provincial and local spheres of government. It is imperative that public officials receive an up to date relevant and respected public administration and management qualification that recognises that the knowledge and skills which South Africa's public sector require has been satisfactorily obtained. In order to do that most effectively, public officials need to have excellent awareness and understanding of the changing needs of today's public service delivery systems and to identify very clearly the highly relevant expertise which these officials bring to their roles in the public sector.

    The Exit Level Outcomes highlight many of the public administration skills required within public sector. Such skills and knowledge are geared towards enabling public officials in all spheres of government to operate effectively and successfully in a demanding environment. Therefore, exit level outcomes and related assessment criteria are outlined for the areas of competence, which mark out public administration as key and highly influential in the public service delivery.

    It is understandable that most public officials will occupy specialised positions that do not require all of the contributions outlined in this qualification. In that sense, some of the exit level outcomes are shown as electives that address specialised knowledge and skills.

    The Certificate in Public Administration is a specialised Qualification which offers administrative, managerial and knowledge and skills that contributes to service delivery in the public sector to learners who:
  • Have attained the National Certificate in Business Administration: Level 4 or any related financial, accounting, or public administration qualifications and wish to continue on a path of life-long learning within the Public Administration or related qualifications.
  • Have worked in Public Administration, Accounting, Public Financial Management, Municipal Financial Administration/Management for many years, but have no formal Qualifications in their area of expertise.
  • Wish to extend their range of skills and knowledge of Public Administration and Management so that they can become knowledgeable workers.
  • Are contracted in a learnership agreement.
  • Have recently taken up a position in Public Administration and Management.
  • Have not yet acquired the skills and competencies required for learning higher level Public Administration and Management.

    The skills, knowledge, values and attitudes reflected in the Qualification are building blocks that will be developed further in a related NQF Level 6. The intention is:
  • To promote the development of knowledge and skills that are required for the efficient performance of Public Finance Management and Administration functions.
  • To release the potential of people.

    The Certificate in Public Administration Level 5 should produce knowledgeable, multi-skilled workers who are able to contribute to improved productivity and efficiency within the public sector. 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 public sector.

    It will ensure that the quality of education and training in the public sector is enhanced and of a world-class standard.

    The Certificate at NQF Level 5 allows the learner to work towards a nationally recognised qualification. The qualification will allow both those in formal education and those already employed in organisations in the Public Administration and Management field of learning in the public sector access to a Qualification that can be used as a benchmark to gauge their competence against local and international standards.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland were chosen as they are developing countries which have well established and efficient public administration departments and systems. Training for Public Administration personnel is done by the Institute for Development Management (IDM). A comparison of their programmes is as follows:
  • Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland:

    The Institute for Development Management (IDM) (http://www.idmbls.com) is a regional organisation s a regional organisation in Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland (BLS) countries to help meet the management needs of the Region through management development activities including training, consultancy, research, and the establishment of a Management Resource Centre.

    A comparison of the above programme with the Qualification in Public Service Administration, Level 5 shows the qualification to be more comprehensive and, with regard to its elective components, more flexible.

    No other certificate courses in public management and administration could be found. University graduate courses (Public Management or Administration) and post graduate course Master of Business Administration (MBA) course majoring in Public Management and Administration are naturally more comprehensive and framed at a higher level than NQF Level 5 and are not within the scope of this purview. Having said this qualification, the National Certificate: Public Administration, provides a selection of important topic areas commonly found in graduate and post graduate studies.

    Summary:

    Benchmarking was done by comparison to Unit Standards/Outcomes of learning against the Unit Standards on Public Administration in the Qualification. The National Certificate: Public Administration compares favourably against similar certificate qualifications found in the SADC region.

    The following First World Countries with National Qualifications Frameworks were also looked at as they too have efficient public service departments. Training is done according to the following courses:
  • United Kingdom:

    The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority of the United Kingdom (http://www.qca.org.uk/), and a search of the open qualifications database (http://www.openquals.org.uk/) could not find any relevant qualifications or unit standards pertaining to public administration of management itself.
  • New Zealand:

    The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (http://www.kiwiquals.govt.nz/) has a Diploma in Local Government and administration at NQF (NZ) level 8 worth 120 credits.
  • Australia:

    However, the Australian Qualifications Framework (http://www.aqf.edu.au/), the National Qualifications authority of Ireland (http://www.nqai.ie/cgi-bin/search) all failed to reveal any specific qualification of a similar nature to this qualification. On the other hand qualifications at diplomas and degree levels relating to public administration and management were available on the various university websites.

    These diplomas and degrees are comparable to this qualification but allowance is made for the fact the university degrees would be on an equivalent NQF level 6 or 7.
