QUALITY &ACCREDITATION

COUNCILPage

senateChai rperson’s Messagestudents at South Africa’s Universities and Institutions of higher learning, continue protesting against, what they believe, is an unjust educa-tion system in which high fees, economic inequality and the slow pace of transforma-tion that exclude the major-ity of South African students. The progressive protests are led by students demonstrat-ing against unreasonable and exclusionary fee increments being imposed by various universities. These protests underscore the very impor-tant call that affordability is critical for access to higher education. Access to educa-tion is the only tool we can use to transform the world as immortalized by former Presi-dent Nelson Mandela.

The National Development Plan for South Africa as well as White Paper on Post School Education, records that the Department of

Higher Education and Train-ing recognizes that independ-ent private institutions play an important role in the post-school education and training environment. The National Development Plan also re-quires the higher education sector to increase enrolment levels annually from 950 000 in 2010 to 1.6 million by 2030.

Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology, which was pre-viously known as PC Training & Business College, is South Africa’s most affordable High-er Education Institution and has been operating success-fully for the past 25 years. The Institution’s programmes meet full regulatory compli-ance and are Accredited by the Council on Higher Edu-cation and are registered on the National Qualifications Framework by the South Afri-can Qualifications Authority. The Institution is also regis-tered with the Department of Higher Education and Training as a Private Higher Education Institution and as an Employ-ment and Skills Development Agency (ESDA) which creates opportunities for collaborations.

The Institution has earned a place in the hearts of over 250 000 students who have successfully completed a range of quali-fications. It has also been Nationally & Internationally recognised for its pioneering efforts in improving the qual-ity of teaching for learning by integrating technology into the Curriculum improving success rates.

The Oxford, UK ceremony, is the culmination of the traditional Oxford Summit of Leaders and is an important social event in business and crea-tive circles around the world since the year 2000. The event will be host to high calibre businessmen, politicians, members of state, senior educators and entrepreneurs. The International Socrates Ceremony is a celebration of the most prestigious individuals and is a truly memorable event. Hosted at the historical and unique location of the Oxford Town Hall.

Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology, formerly known as PC Train-ing and Business College, commenced operations in 1990. Richfield made the decision in 2015 to change the name of the Institute and do a com-plete rebranding. This rebranding saw better programme structures, a new Senate and Faculties that are in line with those adopted by Universities around the world - allowing Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology to compete on equal footing with various other Universities around South Africa.

Jay Ramnundlall, CEO of Richfield, indicated that the organization has grown from strength to strength and this can be attributed to the dedication and hard work of staff around the country. The organisation continuously strives in improving the quality of teaching, by integrating technology into the curriculum to improve success rates.

“Richfield is South Africa’s most affordable Higher Education Institution and has been operating successfully for the past 27 years, with 33 Higher Education campuses and 40 TVET campuses open nationally. The Institution has earned a place in the hearts of over 280 000 graduates who have successfully completed a range of qualifications, providing a critical service to those seeking a brighter future, by educating themselves for the world of work.” says Ramnundlall,

When asked by the media, Ramnundlall, responded that the effective management of the challenges faced by the Institution in executing its change of name from PC Training & Business College to the Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology required bold leadership actions to address, amongst others:

• By-infromInstitutionalAcademiaandLeadership• NegotiatingandapprovalfromthemanyregulatorsinSouthAfricaandSADC• Respondingtomanagerialblockagesinexecution• AneffectiveexecutionofBlueOceanstrategiestoreachnewmarkets• Re-alignmentofleadershiptoadapttotheevolvingenvironment• SeparationofCorporateLeadershipfromAcademicAchievementsandDevelopment• Re-inventionofCorporateCultureandrelocationtoaCorporateOffice• NewlongtermpartnershipswithtechnologypartnersincludingVodacom,StandardBankandEdcon• ImprovedWorkingIntegratedopportunitiesforstudents,bridgingthegapbetweentheInstitutionandthe world of work.

Mr Ramnundlall was quick to point out that in its 27-year history, the Institution received great accolades and awards on a regional, national and international scale. Two other significant awards received recently include:

• National Business Awards – the Oscars of South African business The 2016 South African Winner of Excellence in the category “Investing in People” award• PMR Africa, Diamond Arrow Award 2016 Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology won the IT Training Institution: Outstanding 1st overall for doingmostintheeducationsectorforstimulatingeconomicgrowthanddevelopmentoftheKwaZulu-Natal Province.

“We live in times of exponential change,” says Ramnundlall, “so it is critical that we equip the next generation of learners in a cutting edge environment in order be competitive on a global scale.” RamnundlallgoesontoquotethewordsofNelsonMandela:“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

About Technical & Vocational Education (TVET)

RICHFIELD Technical Division operates in the occupational qualifications sub-framework, to roll out national occu-pational qualifications to learners who want a trade or occupation. Technical & Vocational Education & Training (TVET) equips people, not only with vocational skills, but with a broad range of knowl-edge, skills and attitudes that are now recognized as indispensable for mean-ingful participation in work and life.

TVET students obtaining both theoreti-cal and practical training are preferred for employment by the engineering sec-tor, according to research. The techni-cal Nated programmes include the Me-chanical, Electrical, Civil and Chemical Engineering fields. Studies in Engineer-ing provide opportunities in various sec-tors of the economy and addresses the national skill shortages and facilitates economic growth in the country.

The acquisition of technical skills makes one more employable in the formal la-bour market and also develops entre-preneurial skills across many disciplines.

The aim of the business studies Nated programmes are to equip learners with skills in general business practices. Learn-ers will be able to select a programme that best suites their employment opportunities. The programmes for the business studies Nated courses avail-able are Educare, Public Management,

Human Resource Management, Man-agement Assistant, Legal Secretary, Medi-cal Secretary, Busi-ness Management, Financial Manage-ment, Marketing Management, Public Relations, Tourism and Hospitality and Catering Services.

National Accredited Technical Education Diploma (NATED) programmes are deliv-ered under the auspices of the Depart-ment of Higher Education and Training. The programmes consist of 18 months theoretical studies at the college and 18 months relevant practical application in work places. Engineering studies range from N1-N6 while Business and Utility Studies range from N4-N6. The ultimate goal of the Nated courses is to award the student studying the course an N6 diploma.

Technical and Vocational Education will contribute to greater access to techni-cal and vocational programmes in the Higher Education band. The central question contained in the White Paper (DHET: 2013) refers to how skills devel-opment can support the creation of a development state. Technical education will make an individual a valuable asset to the changing technological global environment.

The Na-tional Master Scarce Skills List for South Africa provided by the Department of Labour as well as Seta Sector Skills Plan demand work based pro-grammes that are geared towards preparing stu-dents in finding meaningful employment in the ICT, commerce, government and industry sectors.

Work Integrated LearningIncluded in the curriculum are, compulsory work readiness skills and work integrated learning pro-grammes requiring appropriate workplace assess-ment for all students, before awarding qualifica-tions.

Learning Management SystemThe institution has migrated to the Moodle Stu-dent Management System which is also used by major universities of the world. Students can di-rectly access additional learning content from the website.

BenchmarkingAn active benchmarking strategy of our key pro-cesses, programmes and curricula with other pri-vate, public, national, international and trade or-ganizations is carried out in the constant pursuit of excellence and continued improvement.

Relevant CurriculumDeveloping and delivering curricula in line with industry and employer requirements are supported by an externally represented Senate. In addition, Academic Faculties and Departments provide support to all teaching for learning activities.

Professional ManagementTeaching and Learning expertise on each campus, together with professional manage-ment, ensure that the learning needs of stu-dents are met and that the quality of teaching for learning, community engagement, assess-ment and research is continually improved and consistent at all Campuses. Students are provided with a system of nationally managed, standardized learning materials and curricula which are reviewed and upgraded annually. Learning materials are also preloaded on Tab-let PCs, making them easily accessible.

Interactive LearningSmall and manageable class sizes allows for interactive teaching for learning and provision of strategic supplementary classes in smaller groups targeting specific needs in student de-velopment.

Community EngagementAn effective Community Engagement (CE) Strategy makes Campuses more accessible to the communities they serve. Joint projects and use of Institutional infrastructure for CE purposes are encouraged.

International ISO 9001 : 2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 Qual-ity Standards The Institution also holds to it credit the ISO 9001 : 2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 Internationally Certified Quality Standards for the provision of Higher Education and Training, Distance and Vo-cational Technical Studies, Professional Learning and Skills Programmes to International Organisa-tions & Individuals.

National Certificate: Occupationally Directed Education Training and Development Practices (NQF 5)


This qualification is for those who want to build on a FETC in any field to enter the field of ODETD as a potential career and have little or no previous exposure to ETD. The development of skills within and for the workplace is a priority within South Africa, as supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. Much of the needed skills development is carried out by people who have knowledge and skills within their area of expertise, but lack the required skills in relation to ETD. Many of the skills development objectives, nationally and within companies and organisations, are met through the efforts of ETD practitioners operating at NQF Level 5, and this certificate addresses the key competencies of such practitioners. This qualification will meet the needs of those who wish to progress beyond the FETC ODETD, or who wish to enter the field of ETD for the first time. The certificate will also help to increase the employment prospects of ETD practitioners, while helping to ensure quality and compe-tence within the ETD field. This qualification will provide a means to recognise ODETD practise at level 5 across five key ETD roles in a generalist capacity, with particular application possible in at least one role. Practitioners who wish to extend the skills in ETD to cover further ETD roles should select the Diploma ODETD, Level 5.

Diploma in Information Technology (DIT) - 2 YearsSAQA ID No. 58338 : NQF 6 : 265 Credits : 2 Years) Council on Higher Education Accredited Qualification

The purpose of the Diplo-ma in Information Technol-ogy is to provide students with an intermediate level of study covering the key as-pects of Information Technol-

ogy. This Diploma includes key elements from the re-designed three year qualifi-cation. This two year quali-fication is currently being phased out in accordance

with the implementation of the new Higher Education Qualifications Framework as required by the Council on Higher Education.

The qualification re-mains valid and is ac-credited by the Coun-cil on Higher Education and registered with the Department of Higher Education and Train-ing. This qualification has been enormously successful and many thousands of students have completed it in the last decade.

Although the content is revised and updated in the same manner as any other qualification, we would recommend students to consider the new three (3) year diploma which pro-vides greater depth and is aimed at de-veloping both generic and vocational skills in specialized areas.

Diploma in

Computer Applications

The Purpose of the Diploma in Com-puter Applications is to introduce the student to the design, analysis, and application of computers and computer-based systems. Through course and laboratory experiences, students learn the principles essen-tial in defining, designing, and build-

ing both general purpose and appli-cation-specific computer systems. Course work emphasizes fundamen-tal elements of Computer Applica-tions . The senior project provides a unique hands-on experience. The programme prepares students for careers in industry or for graduate

study. A student who has completed this qualification will be competent in providing professional, technical and developmental support in the computer industry.

Pervasive use of comput-ers has resulted in an ongo-ing need for a wide range of highly skilled human capacity in ICT disciplines. The field is subject to rapid technologi-cal changes and therefore re-quires professionals who are well-educated, who keep up-to-date with the latest devel-opments in the field and who can engage future trends and developments in the field.

The purpose of this Diploma qualification is to provide a career-focussed, professional qualification featuring indus-try-referenced knowledge and skills transfer, techno-logical competencies, critical cross-field skills as well as at-titudinal development.

The programme deals with the conceptualisation, design, development, implementation and testing of computer soft-ware applications to meet the enormous commercial and social demand for such prod-ucts. Students are prepared for careers in Computer Pro-gramming and Systems Analysis & Design

but will gain exposure to a wide range of related topics. The diploma stu-dent will be knowledge-able and competent in the discourse and practice of the ICT discipline and have specialist knowledge of the Applications Develop-ment. Qualifying students will therefore be proficient in the general discourse of ICT but have specialised

knowledge and skills that are focused on Applica-tions Development. The programme is designed to promote initiative and responsibility in an aca-demic and/or professional context to respond to the local, regional and nation-al, community and industry needs.
