The FET Certificate in Corrections Services Learnership NQF 4

The learnership is outcome-based and is intended to contribute towards addressing the skills shortage in the Department and in South Africa.

The Learnership is based on a legally binding agreement between the employer, learner and service provider. The Corrections Services Learnership Programme shall be presented for a period of one year consisting of: ± 30% theoretical or instructional learning and ± 70% workplace learning.

Theory

The ±30% intensive instructional learning theory shall, in addition to other theoretical modules, include firearm training as well as physical and self-defence training which will take place at designated accredited DCS colleges. Free accommodation, meals, training material and uniform shall be provided during this training
phase. The obligatory theoretical training requires the learner to be strictly accommodated on a full-time basis at the training college.

Workplace Training

This ± 70% workplace learning takes place at the Correctional Centres and Social Reintegration / Community Corrections Offices. During this phase, learners continue to
receive a stipend. The learners shall be responsible for their own accommodation, meals and transport.

No pension fund, housing allowance, housing subsidy, danger allowance, medical aid or overtime shall be provided by the employer during the theoretical as well as during the practical training.

The learner shall be regarded as competent after the successful completion of the instructional learning phase, the workplace learning phase, the final submission of the Portfolio of Evidence (POE) and the successful external verification by the Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority (SASSETA).

Any contravention or deviation from the learnership agreement during the twelvemonth period shall be dealt with by the DCS in accordance with Sections 17 and 18 of the Skills Development Act, 97 of 1998.

After successful completion of the learnership, successful learners will receive an FET Certificate in Correctional Services (NQF Level 4). However, the Department of Correctional Services does not guarantee permanent employment on completion of the qualification.
