23. Occupational and part qualifications are designed to include knowledge modules, practical skills modules and work experience modules which constitute the volume of learning required to achieve the qualification. The OQSF recognises credits as a measure of the volume of learning required for an occupational or part qualification.

 

24. The duration of study is specified in the curriculum document per module and the occupational or part qualification document reflects the credit value allocated to each module. The allocation of credits follows the SAQA rule of ten (10) notional hours as equivalent to one (1) credit.

 

25. Credits per module will be awarded after successful completion of the related external integrated summative assessment.
