Standards Setting
The MQA Standards Setting Unit is responsible for administering the
functions of the Mining and Minerals Sector Standards Generating Body
(M & M SGB). The SGB is a stakeholder driven body with members from
the following 6 primary stakeholders:
• The State;
• Labour;
• Employers;
• Providers of education and training;
• Suppliers of equipment and services; and
• Mining professional associations
The MQA’s activities are funded by the skills levy collected from employers in the mining and minerals sector by the South African Receiver
of Revenue (SARS). The MQA disburses the funds back to the industry
in a form of grants for providing training and supporting learners in
special projects.

Introduction – background, legislation, mandate and funding
The Mining Qualifications Authority (MQA) is a statutory body established
in terms of the Mine Health and Safety Act No. 29 of 1996 and is a
registered Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) for the
mining and minerals sector in terms of the Skills Development Act No 97
of 1998.M I N I N G Q U A L I F I C A T I O N S A U T H O R I T Y
Internships
Skill Planning and Research
In terms of the Skills Development Act the MQA is required to develop a
SSP within the framework of the National Skills Development Strategy
(NSDS). The SSP is a five-year report aimed at analysing the sector
and its associated skills requirements.
Learnership (Rockbreaker)
The MQA undertakes analysis of the WSP-ATR submissions annually and
examines trends, skills requirements and priorities. The WSP is the core
source for the scarce skills list for the mining and minerals sector and
the analysis shows that scarce skills are largely in the professional and
trade workers categories.
Bursaries, workplace experience, internships
MQA
The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) requires the MQA
to generate Unit Standards and Qualifications and enables the
organisation to be an Education and Training Quality Assurance
(ETQA) body for the sector. The MQA must support the objectives
of the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS) as determined
by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), and also
support the objectives of the Mining Charter in terms of the Minerals and
Petroleum Resources Development Act No. 29 of 1996.
Bursaries, workplace experience, internships
The MQA is responsible for administering a number of skills development
initiatives. Skills programmes and learnerships aim to develop a
skilled and educated workforce whose skills are recognised and valued
in terms of the NQF. This is to ensure that the mining and minerals
sector has sufficient competent people who will improve health and
safety, employment equity and increase productivity. The following five
priorities were adopted by the MQA Board to promote skills development
in the sector:

• Support the transformation of the sector through skills development
• Support objective decision-making for skills development through
research in the sector
• Enhance information management for skills development in the sector
• Facilitate and support the development and implementation of core
skills development programmes aligned with the sector qualifications framework
• Enhance the monitoring, evaluation and review of the delivery, capacity
and quality of skills development in the sector
The MQA has a tripartite governing structure consisting of the state,
employer and labour organisations within the sector. The expertise and
experience of this partnership with key stakeholders proposes guidance
to the MQA’s strategic direction. This is underpinned by the Business
Plan, the Constitution and Sector Skills Plan (SSP). The SSP determines
the skills needs in the sector.
A cornerstone of skills planning is the Workplace Skills Plan
(WSP) and the Annual Training Report (ATR). The WSP seeks
to contribute to the achievement of the organisation goals
and business plan through skills development and formally
report on the training interventions that the organisation is
planning. The ATR reports skills development interventions
undertaken against the previous year’s WSP by organisations.
In addition, the WSP-ATR provides a mechanism against which the
Mandatory Grant can be accessed from the MQA if the criteria have
been met.
Furthermore the WSP-ATR serves as a format for the MQA to collect
information annually from individual organisations.
This table below includes only interventions relating to occupations in
which more than twenty (20) positions needed to be filled.
The MQA participates in a number of initiatives to address scarce and
critical skills. These initiatives include:
• Unit standard and qualification development;
• The promotion of learning programmes such as ABET, learnerships
and skills programmes;
• Support offered to MQA bursars;
• Targeted projects such as internships; and
• The quality assurance of assessment and skills development

The mining and minerals Standards Generating Body (M&M SGB)
is governed by the Mine Health and Safety Act of 1996, the Skills
Development Amendment Act and the South African Qualifications
Authority (SAQA) NSB Regulation 24 (1) (e). The NQF Act of 2008
provides a new legislative framework for standards setting and quality
assurance in South Africa.
The SGB Unit’s main function is to design and develop fit for purpose
occupational qualifications and associated unit standards available to
the mining and minerals sector. The SGB Unit ensures registration of
qualifications and unit standards on the National Qualifications Framework
(NQF) for the sector, and ensures that appropriate qualifications and
unit standards are in place through collaborative initiatives with other
relevant SGBs and/or SETAs. The goal of the Unit is form an Organising
Framework for Occupations (OFO) aligned qualifications framework for
the sector which is available and implemented by all stakeholders in the
sector. This framework is reviewed annually, updated, published and its
implementation is monitored by the Unit.
In order to fulfill its function, the mining and minerals SGB Unit has
identified 31 distinct areas in which it formulated working groups to
facilitate the generation of unit standards and the design of qualifications.
Stakeholders from employers, state, labour, providers, manufacturers
and professional bodies have nominated persons with technical expertise
in these areas to serve on the working groups.
The design and development of mining engineering qualifications and
competency standards is conducted through a Joint Implementation
Plan (MoU) between the MQA and the Engineering Council of South
Africa (ECSA). The MQA has also established a subject matter expert
working group for Level 5 – 8 engineering qualifications and it also
works in collaboration with ECSA Engineering SGB. To search for
Standards & procedures for engineering levels 5 – 8 qualifications (on
the ECSA website) visit http://www.ecsa.co.za/. Choose “Standards and
Procedures”. You are then prompted to select from 5 areas.
The review of Competency Certificates into outcomes based occupational
qualifications and programmes, is conducted for the Chamber of Mines
Tickets/Certificates as well as some of the Government Certificate of
Competency (GCC) currently managed by the MQA. Written examinations
for GCC are conducted under the banner of the Department of Mineral
Resources (DMR). The University of South Africa (UNISA) conducts
examinations for some of the CoM certificates and will hand-over the
administration process to the MQA by January 2012. The review process
for the CoM certificates is underway in collaboration with higher education
institutions, professional associations, the CoM and the MQA. The
competency certificates are listed on the OFO aligned MQA Qualifications
Framework. The components of the MQA Qualification Framework are:
• The NQF Level of the qualification;
• The title and NQF level of a registered or proposed qualification, skills
programme and learnership;
• The OFO code and occupation associated with the qualification;
• The reference to current qualification, if any;
• The envisaged practicing person footprint and learning pathway from

The working groups, called Technical Reference Groups (TRGs) identify
qualifications that are required by the sector as identified through the
MQA Qualifications Framework and then detail the competencies that are
applicable to these qualifications. The qualification is then designed and
populated by the associated unit standards.
These qualifications and unit standards then undergo rigorous ratification
through the SGB’s validation process after which it is submitted to SAQA
for registration on the NQF.
Once qualifications are registered, the TRGs develop appropriate
learnerships associated with these qualifications for submission to the
Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) for registration
and recording. Registered unit standards are packaged into appropriate
skills programmes for registration on the MQA-I-Share. Since NSDS 1
this is the tenth year of standards writing and qualification registration
within the sector. A framework of envisaged qualifications, learnerships
and skills programmes existed since 2003. It has now been

to small companies annually that release their employees to work in
