This qualification will serve to link the NQF Level 2 National Certificate: Wholesale and Retail Operations qualification and the FET Certificate: Generic Management. The current gap in the learning pathway for Wholesale and Retail (W and R) practitioners will be filled by this qualification. It will serve as the second in the Wholesale and Retail Operations learning pathway and provide a basis for further learning. While the qualifying learners will experience personal growth and development, workplace succession planning will be more readily achieved.
The operational process includes; ordering stock, receiving, dispatching, stock control, cash control, sales and marketing and displaying, responsible credit promotion, perishable foods preparation, sales and display, and the running of informal small business.
This qualification will serve to provide the W and R sector with personnel that can perform the operational functions to industry standards, optimise productivity, and improve service levels. The qualifying learner will undergo personal development that will contribute to social and economic development.
