Grain training

Agbiz Grain has developed learning material for the following qualification:

SAQA ID: 14873

Title: National Diploma: Grain Handling Management

Grain Depot Manager Occupational Qualification

Grain Grader - Part qualification (accommodated in Grain Depot Manager)

PLEASE NOTE:

• The curriculum for the occupational qualification for the Grain Depot Manager has been finalised by the grain handling industry and will replace the SAQA registered qualification once the QCTO has approved the re-alignment.
• This qualification can be run as a learnership which will provide access to funding from the Agriseta.
• The historical Grain Handling Controller Occupational qualification was realigned and then changed to the Grain Depot Manager Occupational Qualification. Training providers may now use the training material, as developed for the Grain Depot Manager, to train learners on the National Diploma: Grain Handling Management.
• Once the occupational qualification for the Grain Depot Manager has been successfully re-aligned, the process of establishing registered workplaces and assessment centres can commence. This will be done in conjunction with the Agriseta and the process is yet to be determined by them. Agbiz Grain will provide guidance once agreement has been reached on a process that is practical and cost effective to the industry. User Guides can thus not be compiled yet because there are currently no guidelines within Agriseta for the accreditation of Assessment Centres or Workplaces.
• The application forms available on the Agbiz Grain website are for use by training providers to have them accredited at the respective institutions.
• Current training providers are already accredited at Agriseta and have been notified by Agbiz Grain to apply to the Agriseta for an extension of scope.
