Summary

• Based on data in the NLRD, the PSET

achievements of NCV4 learners between 2009

to 2016 show that:

– Number of learners and achievements, mostly Females and predominately Black Africans,

– Over 50% in (Office admin, Electrical infrastructure Construction, Tourism and Engineering)

• Broad overview of articulation based on the

data indicates minimal movement across

SFW, Levels and institution types

Conclusions

• NLRD is a key source of learner achievement

data for the NQF

• Allows us to study actual transitions learners

make throughout their learning

• NLRD presents overview of actual articulation

realities on ground

• Limitations? (dependence on completeness of

data/updates/TVET/N)
