Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Activities - NQF Level 1

SAQA ID: 23253 (124 Credits)

Takes place over 12 months

This qualification specifies the key skills, knowledge and values required to access engineering and manufacturing qualifications in the Further Education and Training Band. It describes the learning outcomes required to participate in workplace-based learning programmes for occupationally focused qualifications in the manufacturing, engineering and assembly sectors. It provides learners who have no formal qualification with an opportunity for assessment to recognise prior learning, identify gaps, and structure learning programmes to close those gaps. 

The learning required for these learners would be what is typically included in ABET learning programmes. 

For learners who have formal school qualifications but no work experience, this qualification specifies the necessary knowledge, skills and values required to participate learning processes within a formal work environment. Typically, these outcomes reflect the learning outcomes that would be achieved at the end of an extensive induction and orientation process.
