Page | 5
The modules of the curriculum include a description of the expected results at the end of training. They
have a direct influence on the choice of the theoretical and practical learning activities. The
competences are the targets of training: the acquisition of each is required for certification.
The curriculum is the reference to carry out the assessment of learning. Assessment tools of learning
are developed on the basis of this document.
The present curriculum consists of two parts. The first part is of general interest and shows the nature
and goals of a program and the key concepts and definitions used in the document. The second part
deals with the training package. It includes the list of modules, the description of each module and the
course structure.
The pages describing the modules are the heart of a curriculum. They present the title of the module,
the length of training, the amount of credits, the context in which the competence is performed, the
prerequisite competences, the learning units and the performance criteria.
In each module, a course structure is provided. The course structure describes the learning outcomes
(knowledge and skills) and the learning contents related to each learning unit. Also, the learning
activities and resources for learning are suggested.
Page | 6
CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
Assessment: the process of gathering and judging evidence in order to decide whether a person has
attained a standard of performance. See also competency-based assessment.
Competence: A competence is the result of a combination of knowledge and skills. This integration is
demonstrated when the learner is able to achieve specific results and performances, understand what
he/she does and do it autonomously.
Complementary competences: (also known as employability skills or key skills) skills which are not
specific to work in a specific occupation or industry, but are important for work, education and life
generally, such as communication skills, mathematical skills, organizational skills, computer literacy,
interpersonal competence and analytical skills.
Credit: the acknowledgement that a person has satisfied the requirements of a module.
General competences: competences correspond to larger operations that go beyond the tasks, but
generally contribute to their implementation. These activities require more fundamental learning and are
generally common to several tasks and transferable to many work situations.
Internship: an opportunity for a learner to integrate career related experience by participating in
planned, supervised work.
Page | 7
Learning activities: suggested activities that can be developed during lesson planning and activity
preparation. The choice of learning activities must be tailored according to group size, available material
resources and communication tools.
Learning assumed to be in place: a requirement for the attainment of a specific module or modules
prior to commencement of another module.
Learning hours : amount of hours required to acquire the competence, including the time allocated to
evaluation, which is estimated between 5 and 10% of the total learning time of the competence.
Learning outcomes: are statements that indicate what learners will know or be able to do as a result
of a learning activity. Learning outcomes are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes.
Learning unit: any of the basic building blocks of a module which describes the key activities or
elements of the work covered by the module.
Module: a unit of education or training which corresponds to one competence and can be completed on
its own or as part of a qualification.
Occupation: the principal business of ones life.
Performance criteria: are descriptions of the quality requirements of the result obtained in labour
performance.
Specific competences : competences that are directly related to the tasks of the occupation in the
workplace context. They refer to concrete, practical, and focused aspects.

SECTION 2: QUALIFICATION
TITLE OF THE QUALIFICATION:

The title of the Qualification must be unique at its level - i.e., different from any other title at that level.
The Qualification type must be in accordance with the approved naming conventions e.g. Certificate,
Diploma", "Bachelors Degree", "Honours", "Masters", "Doctorate" or PhD,.
The title must provide a pointed indication of the contents e.g. National Certificate: Fabrication: Welding
LEVEL:
CREDITS:
SECTOR:
SUB-SECTOR:
ISSUE DATE:
REVIEW DATE:
PURPOSE:
The Purpose should outline what the Qualification is intended to achieve.
It should succinctly capture what the qualifying learner will be able to do on achievement of the
Qualification. = the specific/particular competencies
Page | 9
RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION
The Rationale should indicate how the Qualification meets the specific needs in the sector for which it is
generated.
The range of typical learners should be clearly identified with an indication of the occupations, jobs or areas
of activity in which the qualifying learners will operate.
The Rationale should indicate how the Qualification meets the requirements that a Qualification is a planned
combination of learning outcomes which have a defined purpose and will provide qualifying learners:
with applied competence, and

a basis for further learning
The Rationale should give evidence as to how it will provide benefits to society and the economy.
An indication should be given of the learning pathway into which the Qualification falls, e.g. which
Qualifications start and end the learning pathway.
An indication should be given of how the Qualification will help achieve the objectives of the NQF.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS TO THE QUALIFICATION
An indication should be given of which learners may access the Qualification. Such access should not be
subjected to any unnecessary restrictions. Any restrictions should be fully justified.
Consider variables such as :

physical traits or attributes and / or
learned skills and / or
learned knowledge and / or
Page | 10
attitudes that a learner should possess to be successful on the job but that he/she will not get as a result
of training
This section should also capture and reflect the building blocks of knowledge, skill and understanding which
are assumed to be in place and which support the achievement of the Qualification by the learner. It should be
simple statements of acquired competencies that will help the learner be successful with the learning involved
with the Qualification.
COMPLEMENTARY COMPETENCES

Page | 13
SECTION 3: TRAINING PACKAGE
The training package includes the competences chart, the sequencing of module learning, the
description of each module, and the course structure.
COMPETENCES CHART
The competences chart is a table that presents an overview of the specific competences, the general
competences, the work process and the time allocated to each competence. This table provides an
overall view of the competences of the training programme and allows to identify the logical sequence
of the learning of these competences.
The competences chart shows the relationship between general competences and specific competences
that are particular to the occupation, as well as the key stages of the work process. It shows the links
between the elements in the horizontally axis and those vertical axis. The symbol ( ) marks a
relationship between a general competence and specific competence. The symbol ( ) indicates a
relationship between a specific competence and a step in the process of work. When the symbols are
darkened, it indicates that the link is taken into account in the description of the specific competence.
The competences chart allows the trainer to consider the complexity of the competences in the
organization of the progress of learning. Therefore, the vertical axis shows the specific competences in
the order they should be acquired. This is the starting point of the presentation of the competences in
the flowchart presented in the following pages.

FLOWCHART
The flowchart of sequencing of learning is a schematic representation of the order of acquisition of the
competences. It provides an overall planning of the entire training programme and shows the
relationship between the modules. This type of planning is to ensure consistency and progression of
learning.
For each module, the flowchart shows the learning that is already in place, the learning that is to take in
parallel or later. The positions defined will have a decisive impact on all subsequent pedagogical choices.
The flowchart of the sequence of learning of the modules of the training programme is presented on the
following page.
