This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD Leamers who are assessed as competent against this unit standard will be able to plan and set out for LIC water and sanitation works, understand and explain basic LIC methods, Perform Labour intensive water, sanitation, and appurtenant works, and identify faults and perform LIC water and sanitation repair and maintenance works. ‘These competencies complement the generic technical and supervisory competencies and forms part of the Elective leaming. It contributes to the development of a professional community of Construction Supervisors, The contribution to The National Skills Development Strategy is the key developmental interface between learners and new competencies to be achieved. It contributes to socio-economic transformation in that learners would be able to undergo RPLrassessment and thereby receive recognition for previous learning and experience. The employability and career prospects of leamers can therefore be enhanced by this qualification hpstroggs soqa.rg.zashowUritStandardphpid=15159 wsvie2018 SAQA LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING NQF level 3 Language and Mathematics competencies.
