The National Certificates (Vocational) are aimed at NQF Level 2 - 4 in Further Education and Training Colleges. The Life Orientation Fundamental component of the National Certificates (Vocational) is integral to all vocationally orientated qualifications that allow the student to progress from the General Education and Training Band into further learning along a vocational pathway in various fields. It aims to equip students with skills, values and knowledge necessary to adapt, survive and succeed in a constantly changing world. Whilst the vocational training is grounded in the South African context, it also incorporates global imperatives.
