Pre-requisites

It is assumed that the learner is competent in skills gained at the National certificate in MCITP at NQF Level 5. (48573).

The assumed learning can be acquired in the traditional way of formal study as well as in the workplace.

Acquiring the competencies in a workplace (either via formal Learnerships or on-the-job training) has the potential of addressing the problems of the past, where formal Qualifications were only obtainable by way of formal study.

This Qualification recognizes, through the submission of portfolios of evidence, the formal/non-formal/informal prior learning which learners who register for the programme leading to the award of the qualification bring to the learning situation.
