It prepares learners for entry into the workplace or as undergraduate study in the Systems Development areas covered, providing them with the necessary knowledge needed for further study in the fields of Information Technology and Computer Sciences at Higher Education level.<\/p><p>The qualification is addressing the need in the workplace for nationally recognised qualifications, based on unit standards, that will allow people with workplace experience in the Systems Development areas covered, to request assessments and get recognition for prior learning.<\/p><p><strong>A QUALIFIED LEARNER WILL BE ABLE TO:<\/strong><\/p><p>A qualifying learner will be able to communicate effectively with fellow IT staff &amp; users of information technology, understanding the role of technology in a business context and to be able to address business problems with appropriate information technology solutions. Learners will be able to apply the principles of creating computer software by carrying out, under limited supervision, a task of reasonable size to demonstrate an understanding of the knowledge, techniques &amp; skills needed in one or more area of majoring\/specialisation that the qualification offers.<\/p><p>A qualifying learner at this level will be a well-rounded IT professional, building on foundational technical skills acquired at NQF level 4, via the National Certificate in IT Technical Development or equivalent. This qualification is expanding the systems development foundation started at NQF level 4 into specialisation fields within systems development, in one or more of the following disciplines:<\/p><p>Procedural Programming.<br \/>Object Oriented Programming.<br \/>Fourth Generation Language Programming.<br \/>Web site development.<br \/>Multimedia.<br \/>Electronic Commerce.<\/p><p><strong>SKILLS RATIONALE:<\/strong><\/p><p>Similar to the National Certificates in IT at NQF level 4, this qualification has been formulated such that it reflects the workplace-based needs of the Information Technology Industry as expressed by its stakeholders. The input has been used to ensure that the qualification provides the learner with accessibility to be employed within the IT Industry. The qualification may be acquired in the traditional way of formal study as well as in the workplace, either through learnerships or by recognition of prior learning (RPL).<\/p><p>Academically this National Certificate is intended to be an entry-level qualification, at the Higher Education band, in the area of Systems Development. The qualification builds on from the National Certificate in Information Technology: Systems Development at NQF level 4, and it also facilitates entry into the Systems Development field from other related fields. It aims to enhance readiness for further study in Information Technology and related fields at the Higher Education level, as well as providing for initial employment in the computer industry.<\/p><p><strong>EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES:<\/strong><\/p><p>A learner will be able to:<\/p><ul><li>Communicate effectively with fellow IT staff &amp; users of information systems<\/li><li>Understand the role of technology in the business context.<\/li><li>Demonstrate an understanding of problem solving techniques, and how to apply them in a systems development environment<\/li><li>Demonstrate an understanding of Systems Development, with all its implications<\/li><li>Relate business problems and information technology solutions<\/li><li>Apply the principles of creating computer software<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdf721e elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"cdf721e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
