The National Further Education & Training Certificate in Banking is registered on NQF level 4. It is quality assured and awarded by BANKSETA. Chartall Business College is a BANKSETA accredited provider for this national certificate. The qualification is also approved by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) to fulfil the FAIS Fit & Proper generic education requirements for Categories I and IV.
This qualification is aimed at people already working in the banking sector. The RPL methodology is designed specifically for those employees who are either already in a FAIS role or who have sufficient prior learning of sales and banking processes to be assessed without attending training. The qualification covers the banking regulatory and legal environment, marketing and sales techniques, customer service and key banking products and services. It is the ideal starting point upon which to build the rest of your banking training and the qualification provides access to the National Certificate in Banking at NQF 5 (also available through Chartall Business College as an online course).
The qualification provides successful learners with access to the Chartall Business College Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
How is this offered through Recognition of Prior Learning?This qualification is offered through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). (Note that face-to-face training is also offered at selected workplaces. You can request face-to-face training here.)
Only learners who have been working in a FAIS and client-facing role in a bank for over three years may apply to complete the qualification through RPL. This is because there is no training and no training materials with the RPL option. You simply complete the assessment. Learners with less workplace experience should rather complete the qualification through the online learning delivery method.
RPL learners should have been in a FAIS or client-facing role for at least three years. This will provide you with sufficient workplace experience to complete the RPL successfully. Learners should also be employed in a banking environment, as a manager needs to complete workplace observations which are an essential part of your final assessment. RPL learners must note that there is no training offered with the RPL enrolment option, and all assessments are completed using your existing learning as the basis for your assessments.
Learners will complete their RPL assessment online, so you will need a PC or tablet with sufficient internet connectivity to download and upload the assessments. A good level of computer literacy also helps.
