Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO):

UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING

Identify alternate materials that may be used to achieve a required design.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO WORKING

Work effectively with others and in teams.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING

Organise documentation.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING

Collect all information required to compile a complete and accurate estimate.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO COMMUNICATING

Communicate effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO DEMONSTRATING

UNIT STANDARD ASSESSOR CRITERIA

To register as an assessor, an applicant needs:

Detailed documentary proof of educational qualification, practical training undergone, and experience gained by the applicant (Portfolio of Evidence).

A recognised assessor qualification.

In particular, assessors should assess that the learner demonstrates an ability to consider a range of options by:

Measuring the quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge.

Using methods that are varied to allow the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.

Maintaining a balance between practical performance and theoretical assessment methods to ensure each is measured in accordance with the level of the qualification.

Taking into account that the relationship between practical and theoretical is not fixed but varies according to the type and level of qualification.

REREGISTRATION HISTORY

As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this unit standard was Reregistered in 2012; 2015.

UNIT STANDARD NOTES

The Outcomes that Learners achieve will be judged subject to these being achieved:

Within the standard time prescribed by the organisation.

Strictly according to the organisation`s work place procedures.

Values:

The use of tasks and materials in the learning event plan should not discriminate against learners on any grounds prescribed in the Bill of Rights and Employment Equity Act and should promote the orientations outlined in the critical cross-field outcomes.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

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.
