Induction program for MFMP

The minimum competency regulations require Municipal Managers, CFOs, CEOs, Senior Managers, Heads of Supply Chain Management and Middle Managers to be competent as per the regulations. In order to facilitate the successful implementation of the regulations and rollout of the training programme, we have invited suitable training providers to offer quality training on all the unit standards covered by the regulations.

The unit standards are grouped into Learning Programmes for manageability and ease of delivery for both the learner and the training provider. Once the learner has participated and met the requirements of the learning programme, an LGSETA endorsed certificate of competence will be issued confirming the amount of credits earned on either specific modules or all unit standards that have been undertaken.

The learner can fulfill Learning Programmes in part or in whole. This implies that a learner may opt to register for the whole learning programme at once or a set of modules within a learning programme progressively until all requirements have been met. In such a case, a learner will effectively exit with a certificate endorsed by the LGSETA after completing each learning programme. We recommend that officials affected by the regulations review their existing qualifications and experience through an assessment conducted by appropriately qualified Occupationally Directed Practitioners, ODPs, to determine the extent to which qualifications and experience meet the competency levels. ODPs are able to facilitate and perform work based assessment.

Interns are specifically encouraged to undertake structured learning by using the Learning Programmes to assist them in future career development. This should ideally be supported by their Work Rotation Plans, focusing on the Budget and Treasury Office activities.
