Title of Qualification: SAQA ID: 20185 Further Education and Training Certificate: Banking NQF Level 4
Duration of Qualification: This programme consists of Fundamental and Elective Unit Standards as follows and will be covered over a period of one year
Total Number of Credits: 101
Course Description
The qualification is intended to reflect the entirety of skills possessed by any learner, regardless of that learner’s prior educational background. Moreover, it is in the interest of equity that this qualification can reflect the unique sets of skills of individual learners, and individual needs, potentialities and talents are accommodated by this qualification in the interest of equity. In accordance with the terms of regulation 6140 and the needs and requirements of the specific banking industry the purpose of this qualification is to represent a planned combination of learning outcomes in the field of business, commerce, and management studies and specifically the sub-field of banking which has the purpose to provide qualifying learners the competence and the basis for further learning. The qualification also aims to provide benefits to society and the economy by enhancing citizenship, increasing social and economic productivity, providing specifically skilled/professional people, and transforming the redressing of legacies of inequity. Successful learners who complete this qualification are likely to enhance their marketability and employability by unlocking the access routes to additional education and training.
Entry Requirements
Access is open to all learners bearing in mind the learning assumed to be in place.
Learning assumed to be in place and recognition of prior learning
The qualification is specifically designed to accommodate a broad range of recognition of prior learning. This intention is reflected in the structure of the qualification and also in the rules for combination of credits towards the qualification. The intention is to provide recognition for all the relevant skills which learners already possess and even to provide recognition for skills which might not be relevant to the job through the elective category. It is recognised that these suites of skills will differ radically from learner to learner and from bank to bank. The philosophy of flexibility expressed elsewhere in this document arises from a desire not to unnecessarily deny access to an appropriate qualification to any learner.
Course Objectives
The exit-level outcomes of the qualification will be the sum of the outcomes of all the unit standards constituting the qualification. It is not possible to be more specific about the exit-level outcomes because the flexibility envisaged in the qualification makes countless permutations of unit standards possible. This flexibility is desirable because it reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of banking work, and the fluidity of jobs and roles within the banking profession.
The sum of the specific outcomes of the unit standards comprising the qualification should make the learner competent for his/her job in banking, recognizing that no prescribed combination of unit standards will make the learner competent for all jobs in banking, even at a particular level of work.
For the learner who exits the qualification before completion, the opportunity always remains to re-enter the qualification, or even to re-enter a qualification at a higher level, incorporating the applicable unit standards for which he/she already has credit. In any event, the specific and critical cross-field learning outcomes which are required for competence in terms of the qualification should be consistent with the requirements for effective performance in the job.

What is SETA accreditation?
According to the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), accreditation means that a person, a body or an institution has been certified as “having the capacity to fulfill a particular function in the quality assurance system set up by the South African Qualifications Authority.”
SETA accreditation can only be attained by a training provider if it successfully completes the stringent application process prescribed by a relevant SETA. SETA accreditation is therefore the result of a process whereby a SETA determines whether a training provider has the necessary capacity and ability to provide quality training in line with National Qualifications Framework (NQF) standards.
What is the purpose of SETA Accreditation?
The purpose of SETA accreditation is to make sure that education and training is of a high standard and quality and that it is relevant to the needs of the industry sector in question. If a training provider has SETA accreditation, it means that the training provider’s courses comply with the NQF standards, and that the courses offered have been evaluated to ensure that they are in line with these standards. SETA accreditation also aims to ensure that there is uniformity of similar courses offered by different training providers. SETA accreditation therefore provides the assurance that a training provider will be capable of providing relevant training and education that is in line with national standards. Another purpose of SETA accreditation is to ensure that the courses being offered by accredited training providers are relevant to industry needs and will equip students with the skills that they will need in the workplace.
