National FETC in Banking (NQF 4) Subscription

This qualification is offered as an online learning course.  (Note that face-to-face training is also offered at selected workplaces. You can request face-to-face training here.)

Chartall Business College has curated your online training material into weeks for easy access, although you can move around in the subject material if you wish.  You will be allocated to an online e-lecturer who will assist you with queries, run e-tutorials and keep you on track.  The course material is a combination of e-learning and pre-recorded e-lectures that you work through systematically in your own time, at your own place and in your own space.  You can repeat any lesson or video at any time, which is impossible to do in class.  This means you can review difficult concepts slowly and often for deeper learning and insight.

Learners who have been working in a FAIS role for over three years may apply to complete the qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning, which is simply the assessment without any training.

Learners must have a PC or tablet (or smart phone, but this could be too small for effective learning) with sufficient internet connectivity to download the online learning materials and view videos. Should also ideally be employed in a banking environment as a manager needs to complete workplace observations which are an essential part of your final assessment.

In addition, learners need to be proficient in English at National Senior Certificate level.  A good level of computer literacy is also useful.

The advantage of the portfolio as a mode of assessment is that it can be used after the learning to support the learner’s CV as it showcases what they can do practically (you will need to keep a copy of it for this purpose). Learners will still need to comply with any requirements of the FSCA (such as writing Regulatory Examinations and ongoing professional development [CPD]).
