About the Programme
1. Introduction
Welcome to the Further Education and Training Certificate / National Certificate (delete not
applicable) in (enter qualification name) – this is an NQF registered qualification (SAQA Reg. No
enter ID nr) Level (enter level).
Facilitators Note:
This Qualification is for any individual who is, or wishes to be involved in the
(enter industry type) industry, and it serves to support and advance the
functioning of individuals in this industry.
The purpose of this guide is to provide the facilitator with guidelines about the presentation and
learner support requirements for the (enter title) qualification. This Facilitator’s Guide will enable
the appointed facilitator to plan, prepare, conduct and evaluate the facilitation activities required of
him/her for this programme.
2. About Alignment
(where
there is no subdivision of learning units delete the additional blocks)
Facilitators Note:
For a full copy of the (enter ID nr) qualification description document, please
refer to the Learner Orientation Guide.
Tip:
The (enter title) qualification has (enter quantity) exit level outcomes with
related assessment criteria that must be achieved by the learner for certification
against the (enter title) Qualification, as is indicated on the following page.

2.3 Unit Standard Alignment
(where a learning unit is sub-divided into e.g. 1.1 and 1.2 etc use the following template.
Alternatively delete the sub-division and prepare as main learning unit only)
This Learning Unit has (enter quantity) sections to it: (delete this sentence if learning unit is not sub-
divided)
(COMPLETE ONE TABLE FOR EACH LEARNING UNIT WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING THE
ELECTIVE STREAMS)
(The following detailed alignment should be evident where a FETC programme is being developed
which requires at least 20 credits developed in a second language. The tip and the table thereafter
must be placed directly underneath the learning unit table in which the 2 nd language division is
evident. E.g . if the 2nd language is developed in LU 2 the information below must be placed directly
underneath the alignment table of LU 2 and before the table of LU 3. Delete the information for
National Certificate development or any other qualification to which the rule does not apply)
Key Principle:
According to the SAQA Policy on FETC, Clause 5 of Executive Summary: 1
5.2 To address the need to develop citizens who can participate effectively in a
multi-lingual society, a further 20 credits in Language and Communication must
be obtained in a second official language at a minimum of level 3. All holders of
an FETC will have achieved the same outcomes as indicated by the 20
compulsory credits but these may be achieved in any one of the eleven official
languages.
(DELETE THE ABOVE TIP FOR PROGRAMMES THAT DO NOT HAVE TO ADHERE TO THE ABOVE
REQUIREMENTS)

The programme has been clustered in a modular structure of the following components:
(the 2nd language component shown under the unit standard alignment must also be evident in this
section. The template is found at the end of this section. For FETC programmes copy the tables and
paste with the relevant LU in which the 2nd language is evident)

(the following table refers to the modular breakdown of the LU in which the 2 nd language component
is evident for FETC programmes. Ensure that the table is completed and placed with the relevant LU
table. Where the programme being developed does not require a 2 nd language development –
delete the table)
4. About Assessment
Portfolio Activity:
Please refer to the overall Assessment Strategy and respective Learning Units’
Portfolio Guides for details on assessment.
4.1 Formative Assessment
In each Learner Guide, several activities are spaced within the content to assist the learner in
understanding the material through application. Please make sure that you review the activities in
preparation for facilitation, and make sure you advise learners that ALL activities in the Learner
Guide must be completed, whether it was done in the contact session, or not! It is vitally important
to delineate activities that are for conceptual knowledge development as well as for type of
assessment be it formative, workplace, summative etc.
Facilitators Note:
It is a ETDP SETA requirement that a FSA (Final Summative Assessment) is
conducted on each of the exit level outcomes per Learning Unit or on the overall
qualification at the end of the learning and assessment period. The candidate
will therefore be required to write (enter quantity) FSA assessments in the form
of a Test / Examination.
Candidates are therefore required to complete the following summative assessment activities per
Learning Unit:
Portfolio of Evidence
FSA (Final Summative Assessment )
The Portfolios of Evidence will contain a variety of tasks and activities that are applicable to each
Learning Unit. The following assessment activities are standard across all the Learning Units:
1. (insert the task and or activities required for each learning unit e.g. Knowledge / Practical /
CCFO Assignment)
2.
3.
Facilitators Note:
The qualification is intended to equip candidate with the necessary skills to
perform their (enter the functional area of the candidates e.g. estate agents)
functions with professionalism and confidence.
It is acknowledged that many of the candidates will have come from different
backgrounds, and with different scholastic achievements already in place – it is
therefore appropriate that prior scholastic qualifications be recognised.
CAT
CAT is the acronym for “Credit Accumulation Transfer”, and is based in a model
developed by SAQA that will be used to determine whether CAT (Credit Award
Transfer) will be implemented to recognise school / FET qualifications and sector
qualifications.
The following is the model proposed by SAQA:
Tip:
Learners will therefore be able to receive credits towards all or portions of the
fundamental unit standards, depending on the scholastic match they have to the
proposed model above.
5. About Delivery
The quality management system of each individual provider will govern the roll out and
implementation of this facilitated learning programme,
However, there are some requirements that are standard across all providers:
In order to facilitate / present this learning programme or portions thereof, the Facilitator must
show Subject Matter Expertise in the following:
Learning Unit (insert nr) (insert the subject matter expertise required by the facilitator)
Learning Unit (insert nr) (insert the subject matter expertise required by the facilitator)
Learning Unit (insert nr) (insert the subject matter expertise required by the facilitator)
The provider will have a Facilitator Code of Conduct and standard Service Level Agreement that
needs to be discussed and agreement signed before commencement of this learning programme.
Make sure that these legal documents are in place before embarking on the facilitation of this
programme.
Please remember that this programme is Outcomes Based – this implies the following:
The Learner is responsible for his/her own learning – as Facilitator you are required to make sure
he/she has exposure to structured, highly participative contact sessions, and that he/she
provides input to contact sessions activities where required.
Activities are learner driven – make sure you assist the learner in using the Learner Guide and
Portfolio Guide in the manner intended, and are familiar with the requirements for summative
assessment.
Due to the vocational nature of the qualification / learning programme, the Facilitator is
required to facilitate all practical activities as closely as possible to actual working conditions,
and to cover all formative activities in the Learner Guides.
The administration requirements are subject to the quality management system of the provider –
however, there are certain documents that are critical to the success of the qualification / learning
programme.
As facilitator you are required to follow the rules below carefully to assist us in
remaining compliant with ETDP SETA accreditation requirements.
1. Attendance Register: Candidates are required to sign the Attendance Register every day of
attendance.
2. Learner Registration Form: Each learner must complete a Learner Registration Form during
Orientation of the programme.
3. Learner Evaluation Form: Learners are required to complete an Evaluation Form at the end
of each Learning Unit contact session.
4. Copy of ID: Each candidate must submit a copy of his ID Document before the end of the
contact session – please inform candidates accordingly!
Facilitators Note:
Without the Learner Registration and ID Documents the provider will not be
able to register the learners with ETDP SETA for certification purposes.
Good Luck!
Facilitators Note:
This programme is presented over a period of (enter period), and includes the
attendance of facilitated blocks of class room attendance. The programme also
lends itself towards mentored self-study.
