About the NQF Support Link
The NQF Support Link is a seven-module learning programme, developed by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), to clarify understanding and promote competence in using the NQF.
The NQF Support Link consists of seven modules which are aligned to registered unit standards on the NQF:
NQF Support Link Modules:
- Module One : Implementing the NQF
The module outlines the history, transformative intentions and values of the NQF and how it operates.
- Module Two: The NQF and Strategic Governance
This module provides the knowledge and skills essential for strategic decisions and the legal and institutional responsibilities involved in implementing the NQF or its components.
-
This module guides and supports participants through the steps essential to ensure the quality of new learning programmes serving the NQF.
- Module Four: The NQF and assessment
This module allows learners to explain the essential principles and practices promoted by the NQF within the framework of assessment.
- Module Five: The NQF and learnerships
This is a practical guide to understanding learnerships and skills programmes. It is also a guide for a training provider to develop a plan for learnerships and an implementation plan, including learning facilitation and assessment.
- Module Six: The NQF, Information Systems and the NLRD
This module explains and explores the vision expressed through the NLRD and its place in the NQF. It explains the importance of channeling data to the NLRD via appropriate bodies and how learners and your organisation accrue the benefits of the NLRD.
-
In keeping with the structure of the other NQF Support Link modules, Unit 1 of this new module provides general insight into what RPL is and into some of the issues involved. Unit 2 explores the detail of the legislation, policy, regulations, guidelines and good practices for sustainable implementation, making use of a range of case studies and thus providing a solid grounding in the policies and practices required for officially recognised RPL in South Africa. The first part of unit 3 familiarises learners with all the areas required by the RPL unit standard.
