About the course
This one-day workshop is for the professional trainer, consultant, training
manager and line manager. It shares Gray Training’s insight and expertise
in the practical application of OBET and how it impacts on the organisation.
OBET is the reason behind everything that drives the learning initiative since
it marries educational needs with skills growth needs. It is the basis for
all education in South Africa and gives you a complete learner-focused perspective
on the up-skilling process in South Africa at present. This unit standard has
become pre-requisite to a number of other unit standards, certificates and
qualifications. By the time you have finished this course you’ll be able
to:
•
Contextualise the differences between OBET and traditional learning
•
Use a clear model to describe how growth occurs along the NQF
•
Describe the intent, meaning and parts of a unit standard
•
Describe the intent, meaning and parts of a qualification
Making sense of OBET is run either as a hands-on workshop or as a distance
learning module.

Methodology
This learning programme is delivered either as a workshop or as a distance learning module.
The workshop begins by looking at the development of learning technology and methodology up to the start of OBET. From there the module takes us into the South African NQF model and we discover why it has become the world’s benchmark. At that point we discuss the South African structures and the links and associations between education and up-skilling. This brings us into the marriage between the Ministries of Labour and Education.
You’ll master the knowledge in small learning teams and argue the merits
of the different methods. As the day progresses you are constantly being evaluated
to ensure that you learn constructively, building a platform of confidence
to take back to your workplace. By the time you leave, you will be completely
conversant with the whole concept of OBET. Post-course projects complete the
learning and provide you with your portfolio of evidence (POE).
