Training Development and Facilitation

The Master Builders Association (MBA) promotes the use of skilled and trained artisans in order for its members to deliver a quality product in the building industry.  In recent times, the MBA has recognised that the level of skills in the building industry has declined substantially for a number of reasons.

To this end, the MBA has created a Training Department to promote and develop skills training in the building industry.

Aims and Objectives

The aims and objectives of the training office is to build the capacity of building companies through skills training and to assist them to get the maximum benefit from the skills levies they pay.

Qualified Skills Development Facilitators assist companies to become self sufficient in the development of their training plans (Workplace Skills Plans) and the implementation thereof, as well as reporting to CETA on previous training being done.  (Annual Training Report).

Skills Development Facilitators engage with our member companies in order to achieve the vision of developing a skilled and motivated construction workforce whose skills are recognised and valued in order to improve competitiveness, employment creation and a sustainable skills base across the entire sector.

In addition, assistance is readily available for:

• Registration with SARS and DOL.
• Changing of your company's registration allocation
• Employment Equity Plans

What Must You Do?

Definitions

Leadership:  A route for learning and gaining a qualification within the National Qualification Framework (NQF) from Level 1 to 8.  Learnership consists of Unit Standards that include both structured work experience (a practical component) and instructional learning (a theory learning component) and relate to an occupation.

Skills Programme: A selection (portion) of Unit Standards that can result in a qualification.

Apprenticeship: A route for learning whereby a learner registers as an apprentice with CETA on an artisan trade qualification and spends between 2 and 4 years on an apprenticeship contract linked to a competency based modular learning programme that ends in a trade test.

RPL: A learner that registers for the Recognition of Prior Learning for artisan trade qualification will compile a portfolio of evidence that is assessed.  Certification occurs at the successful assessment and moderation of the portfolio of evidence.

Trade Test

The registrar of Labour Training or the accredited training board, as the case may be, may, in terms of section 28 of the Manpower Training Act, 1081 (according to approved standards) allow any person to attempt a trade test.  Applicants must satisfy the Registrar, or the relevant training board that they obtained the necessary training and experience in their trade, according to the nature and time that is satisfactory to the Registrar.  This is usually equal to the time of training that is prescribed for apprentices in the same trade.

Trade-testing can be used as a barometer to reflect the success of training methods.  The most important requirement necessary to pass a trade test is a good basic knowledge and skills competency of the trade.  With the necessary training and experience the candidate can become a competent, versatile tradesperson.

Note: This is a CETA funded project and is therefore a free service to MBA members.
