The introduction of the NC(V) results in the phasing out of Nated qualifications. This phasing-in and phasing-out is being done in the following manner:
DURATION OF STUDY
Each NQF level is offered as a ONE YEAR qualification, i.e. January to December.
CURRICULUM
Each NC(V) qualification has a total of SEVEN SUBJECTS per NQF level. THREE of the seven subjects are called FUNDAMENTAL SUBJECTS, i.e. they are common for all learning areas (sub-fields) and are also COMPULSORY. The three fundamental subjects are:
1. Life Orientation
2. Language/Communication
3. Maths (ET & ICT students) or Maths Literacy (EDB & HHS Students)
The purpose of the fundamental subjects is to provide a foundation upon which to build the vocational subjects. Each student must enroll for FOUR VOCATIONAL SUBJECTS in each learning area. The four vocational subjects are compulsory and in some cases, a student will choose a fourth vocational subject from a few optional subjects.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
To enroll for any of the NC(V) qualifications at NQF Level 2, a prospective student:
– must have a Grade 9 pass or a higher qualification; OR
- must have an NQF Level 1 qualification; OR
- must have an approved bridging programme designed for the specific purpose to access NQF Level 2; OR
– go through a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment to meet the basic requirements for access to NQF Level 2
To enroll for NQF Level 3, a student must have completed a relevant NQF Level 2.
PASS REQUIREMENTS
- You must pass all SEVEN subjects to obtain the NC(V) qualification at a particular level and to progress to the next NQF Level.
- The pass requirement for the four vocation subjects is 50% per subject
- The pass requirement for the fundamental subjects is as follows:
- Life Orientation 40%
- Language/Communication 40%
- Maths/Maths Literacy 30%
Only ONE fundamental subject may be condoned for a maximum of 5%:
Please remember that this a year qualification and should you fail, you may be required to repeat the course or write supplementary exam.
EXAMINATIONS & ADDESSMENTS
The final pass mark is compiled from an Internal Assessment mark and an External Examination mark. Internal Assessment is continuous throughout the year and External Examination is written during November of each year.
A. INTERNAL ASSESSMENT
Internal Assessment is comprised of Formative and Summative Assessments.
Summative Assessment includes class tests, standardized tests and performance tasks.
Formative Assessment includes class work, assignments, research projects, etc. Both
Formative and Summative Assessment work results in a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE). This PoE is crucial as the Internal Assessment counts as follows towards the final pass mark:
Fundamental Subjects 25% of the final mark
Vocational Subjects 50% of the final mark
B. EXTERNAL EXAMINATION
The examination is external as the Directorate Examinations & Assessment sets the examination nationally. This means that all students write the same examination paper on the same day for a particular subject. This sets national standards for assessment and achievement. The external examination counts as follows towards the final pass mark:
Fundamental Subjects 75% of the final mark
Vocational Subjects 50% of the final mark
