The purpose of the qualification is to build the knowledge and skills required by learners in End User Computing. It is intended to empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently in the End User Computing environment in the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment.
The qualification provides a framework for learners to develop skills that will enable them to become competent in End User Computing. It introduces theoretical concepts of End User Computing and requires the application thereof, to develop a range of skills that will enable learners to be better-informed workers in their chosen industry. It provides a balanced learning experience that lays the foundation for access to further education, lifelong learning and to productive employment.
This qualification is run over 12 months and includes, on average, 5 days of theory training each month.
Flexibility is important to us and our different training delivery methods offer delegates the opportunity to train at their work premises, at home in the comfort of their own environment or at SA Business School’s facilities.
We have three primary training delivery methods; Online Learning, Blended Learning and instructor-led learning.
The National Certificate in IT: End User Computing at NQF Level 3, is intended for learners already employed or new learners entering the workplace, requiring End User Computing skills.
To ensure that learners align to this qualification, we have built in a thorough pre-assessment process. Entry requirements for this course include:
- Competent in skills gained at the further education and training band up to NQF level 2.
- Competent in End User Computing at NQF level 1.
