The South National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is a single integrated system for the “classification, registration, publication and articulation of quality-assured national qualifications”. The NQF Act provides for three co-ordinated qualifications sub-frameworks namely: • General and Further Education and Training, contemplated in the General and Further Education and Training Quality Assurance Act, 2001 (Act 58 of 2001) overseen by Umalusi. • Higher Education, contemplated in the Higher Education Act, 1997 (Act 101 of 1997) overseen by the Council on Higher Education. • Trades and Occupations, contemplated in the Skills Development Act, 1998 (Act 97 of1998) overseen by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations. The objectives of the NQF of the NQF Act, are to: • Create a single integrated national framework for learning achievements; • Facilitate access to, and mobility and progression within, education and training career paths; • Enhance the quality of education and training; • Accelerate the redress of past unfair discrimination in education, training and employment opportunities. The objectives of the NQF are designed to contribute to the full personal development of each student and the social and economic development of the nation at large. The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) together with the Quality Councils (QCs) must seek to achieve the objectives of the NQF by: • Developing, fostering and maintaining an integrated and transparent national framework for the recognition of learning achievements; • Ensuring that South African qualifications meet appropriate criteria, determined by the Minister as contemplated in Section 8 [of the NQF Act], and are internationally comparable; and • Ensuring that South African qualifications are of an acceptable quality. In order to assist student in establishing the regulatory authority and quality assurance arrangements, each agency programme offered by the institution is indicated with the applicable quality assurance regulator.

Graduates from Institu-tions such as Richfield and Universities remain a key resource to address the IT Skills Shortage of ma-jor projects as well as the huge shortage of ICT Pro-fessionals & Engineers in the global economy.

Information Technology pertains to the study, de-sign, and development of computer systems and net-works, which are used for obtaining, processing, and distributing data. This field has been growing at a very fast pace over the last few years, and according to experts, this growth is ex-

pected to remain stable. Thousands of jobs have been created by IT, and hence, today, it is essential for everyone to understand what information technol-ogy is, and how it plays a vital role in every aspect of modern-day life.

IT is interfused in all areas of professional, business and personal life: from providing communication, medicine. Information technologies are one of the most important and promising fields given that qualified specialists with a Bachelor of Science de-gree in IT are needed in all

areas of life – from busi-ness and science to the entertainment sector.

The Faculties of Informa-tion Technology, Computer Applications & Systems Engineering helps develop experts in the of new tech-nologies & applications, leading to software devel-opers, engineering gurus and computer application specialists.

A range of tertiary quali-fications based on varoius NQF levels and duration of study are offered Higher education qualifications include:

This qualification is for those who want to build on a FETC in any field to enter the field of ODETD as a potential career and have little or no previous exposure to ETD. The development of skills within and for the workplace is a priority within South Africa, as supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. Much of the needed skills development is carried out by people who have knowledge and skills within their area of expertise, but lack the required skills in relation to ETD. Many of the skills development objectives, nationally and within companies and organisations, are met through the efforts of ETD practitioners operating at NQF Level 5, and this certificate addresses the key competencies of such practitioners. This qualification will meet the needs of those who wish to progress beyond the FETC ODETD, or who wish to enter the field of ETD for the first time. The certificate will also help to increase the employment prospects of ETD practitioners, while helping to ensure quality and compe-tence within the ETD field. This qualification will provide a means to recognise ODETD practise at level 5 across five key ETD roles in a generalist capacity, with particular application possible in at least one role. Practitioners who wish to extend the skills in ETD to cover further ETD roles should select the Diploma ODETD, Level 5.
