Training in terms of National Unit standards

94 unit standards of dairy technical and related nature currently support the four dairy orientated qualifications in the Further Education and Training (FET) stream of learning – being registered on National Qualification Framework levels 2; 3 and 4 – being the equivalent levels of grades 10; 11 and 12).

As a different route to the obtaining of a qualification, learners/workplace providers may opt for shorter learning interventions by way of skills programmes spread over a longer learning time. These skills programmes are collections of unit standards from the qualifications in logical clusters,  that lead to employable skills sets.

These skills programmes may lead to qualifications.  Certain collections of skills programmes, achieved by way of learning pathways, result in the obtaining of qualifications.

In-company coaching Materials

Supplying learning materials for entry level learning and to promote a culture of learning.

The manuals, arranged in a variety of programmes, are useful to both semi-literate and literate learners. The existing 75 manuals are contained in 8 programmes. The first 2 programmes are generic in nature and from there on focused in specific activities.

For learners who might not enter into “formal” learning, the in- company Coaching Manuals provide a learning pathway for continued learning.

At the request of a significant number of processors, a second version of learning materials have been (and still are) developed for in-company use in a more non-formal approach to operational skills development, with substantially less theoretical content. These are called Coaching Manuals. Their contents are sourced from the unit standards-based learning materials in abridged format and have found exceptionally wide application. Seven such programmes with a total of more than 40 individual manuals have been developed, and further needs in this regard are currently being investigated (initial analyses indicate the need for more such manuals). This intervention circumvents the perceived bureaucratic and administrative load that participation in ‘formal’ learning with unit standards presents, but do not award credits to learners on the National Learner Record Database (NLRD). It is still valid training to plan, insert into and report on with respect to the workplace skills plan (WSP) and annual training report (ATR) of the SETA.
