2.1.2 Certification of NC(V) Level 4 Umalusi has certified the NC(V) Level 4 from its implementation in 2009, but has to date not received all the candidate data from DHET for certification of the 2009 and 2010 cohort. It has also not been able to certify any candidate records for the November 2011 and Supplementary 2012 NC(V) Level 4 examinations due to the backlog of Levels 2 and 3. Because of the requirements to verify achievement of NC(V) Levels 2 and 3 certificates before the NC(V) Level 4 can be certified, and because of the delay in certifying NC(V) Levels 2 and 3, candidates who have successfully achieved all three qualifications are still without their final certificates almost a year after they wrote. Needless to say, this may mean that people are losing out on work opportunities as well as access to further studies. This situation, from the perspective of NC(V) students, is untenable. In 2008 and 2009 the Minister of Education granted a concession allowing NC(V) candidates to continue with the next level of the NC(V) qualification, before the previous NC(V) level had been passed as required in the policy. The result was that the Department of Education was not in a position to combine the subject results to determine if a candidate has passed or failed the NC(V) qualification at the end of NC(V) Levels 3 and 4. This could only be determined after the supplementary examinations had been written in respect of all the subjects failed on the lower levels, and the combination of results for the different levels and years had been completed. This also added to the delay in the certification of the NC(V). During 2012 Umalusi worked closely with the DHET and offered support in finalising the NC(V) certification module. Notwithstanding this arrangement the DHET have not been able to finalise the certification module within the agreed timeframes for Umalusi to certify candidates in this year as originally planned. As of December 2012 the DHET has completed the testing of this module and the current plan is to commence with the submission of data for certification early in January 2013. 2.2 NATIONAL CERTIFICATE N3 CERTIFICATION Umalusi has certificated the National Certificate N3 since 2001 and the resulting and certification system is well established. Currently it is only certifying the Engineering programmes as the General and Business Studies N1 - N3 have been phased out. The Engineering programmes are assessed in November, April and August every year. 207
Although colleges are required to pay certification fees directly to Umalusi, the Certification data is submitted through the DHET certification module. The DHET has complied with the timeframes in submitting the data for certification. However, there is a concern that many of the Colleges do not adhere to the payment requirements, and consequently the certificates are withheld. In 2012 Umalusi issued a total of 32 868 certificates for the N3 qualification, i.e. 3026 N3 certificates for candidates that qualified in a single examination; 3567 N3 certificates where candidates accumulated credits over more than one examination period and where a certificate was issued in lieu of a lost certificate; and 26 275 subject certificates. 208
