This qualification is registered at level 2 on the National Qualification Framework. It provides learners with the opportunity to obtain competence in specialised abattoir processes and practices, namely slaughtering animals of different species, chill and despatch of carcasses, and quality monitoring, providing opportunity for learners to grow in this specific field.
The fundamental learning, which learners will acquire, will allow them to be able to compile verbal and written communications and perform basic calculations. This qualification complies with the objectives of the NQF with regard to facilitating access to, mobility and progression within the red meat industry. The qualification focuses on the skills, knowledge, values and attitude required to progress further in the industry. The intention is to release the potential of people, in order for them to grow, develop and become more competent workers. This qualification will furthermore add value to the individuals, their workplace and the economy as a whole. Rationale for the qualification This qualification provides learners with the opportunity to advance from general abattoir processes and includes opportunities for learner's career development in the red meat industry. It is aimed at formalising the skills required in the red meat industry to facilitate career-pathing and to provide access to new entrants. The qualification provides learners with access to advanced learning in specialised areas within the red meat industry. It also provides learners with the necessary background knowledge and skills to be portable within other Industries. Through the above the qualification will address one of the key priorities of the Department of Labour in the reduction of unemployment and under employment. It will assist in creating job opportunities. The learner will have demonstrated an ability to make decisions and consider a range of options after completion of the following unit standards in three specified areas. |

Evidence can be presented in a variety of forms, including international or previous local qualifications, reports, testimonials mentioning functions performed, work records, portfolios, videos of practise and performance records. The assessment methods and tools to be used to assess Prior Learning shall be decided upon jointly by the assessor and the learner. |
