What are Unit Standards?
Unit standards are the building blocks of a qualification. A unit standard describes the learning outcomes to be achieved by the learner, as well as the assessment criteria against which the student’s performance will be judged. These unit standards are the minimum levels of competency as agreed by an entire industry.
National Qualifications Framework (NQF) qualifications and unit standards
The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is the system that records the credits assigned to each level of learning achievement in a formal way to ensure that the skills and knowledge that have been learned are recognised throughout the country.
The NQF is a set of principles and guidelines by which records of learner achievement are registered to enable national recognition of acquired skills and knowledge, thereby ensuring an integrated system that encourages life-long learning.
The objectives of the NQF are to: Graduation
to apply a single integrated national framework for learning achievements,
facilitate access to, and mobility and progression within, education, training and career paths,
enhance the quality of education and training, and
accelerate the redress of past unfair discrimination in education, training and employment opportunities.
These objectives are designed to contribute to the full personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of the nation at large.
You can search the SAQA qualifications database to find out what qualifications are available for each level, how many credits they are worth, and which service providers offer this training.
Unit standards are also registered at specific levels of the NQF. The progression to the next level has to be in sequence and you have to achieve one level to move over to the next level. You can accumulate credits for successfully completing unit standards towards a qualification.
Some qualifications are made of unit standards while others are based on modules. There are qualification rules for each qualification that specify the combination of unit standards and/or modules and their credits.
Qualification rules
There are different credit values for the 3 different components (fundamental, core and elective).
Fundamental component:

General and Further Education and Training Sub-Framework (GFETQSF),
