Programme Overview
Welcome to this learning programme that will lead the learner to a greater
understanding of how to:
• Explain the processing of transactions in a wholesale and retail outlet (POS)
As the learner works his/her way through the learning programme he/she will gain
competence against the following Unit Standard:
Intended Audience
This learning programme is intended for all persons who need to explain the
processing of transactions in a wholesale and retail outlet. This unit standard is
intended for people who are responsible for cashing up outlet cashiers with no
previous experience of recording transactions and processing payment. It is
important these persons have a good knowledge of the recording of transactions and
processing of payments in order to solve queries that may arise when cashing up
and balance point of sale.

During the workshop the learner will complete a number of class activities that will
form part of his/her formative assessment. In this the learner has the opportunity to
practice and explore new skills in a safe environment. The learner should take the
opportunity to gather as much information as he/she can to use during his/her
workplace learning and self-study.
The workshop will be followed by summative assessment tasks to be completed
through self-study in your workplace. In some cases, the learner may be required to
do research and complete the tasks in his/her own time.
Assessment
It is important to note that the onus is on the learner, to prove his/her competence.
The learner therefore needs to plan his/her time and ensure that his/her Portfolio of
Evidence is kept up to date and handed in timeously.
A Portfolio of Evidence is a collection of documents of work that the learner has
produced to prove his/her competence. The learner will compile a portfolio from
activities, tools and checklists associated with the unit standard and relevant to the
unit standard being assessed.
The learner will be given the following documents to assist you in creating a portfolio
of evidence:
• Learner Guide: The Learner Guide is designed to serve as a guide for the
duration of your learning programme and as the main source document for
transfer of learning. It contains information (knowledge and skills required)
and application aids that will assist you in developing the knowledge and skills
stipulated in the specific outcomes and assessment criteria. The learner
guide also indicates the formative assessment class activities that you need
to complete towards your Portfolio of Evidence.
• Learner Workbook: The learner Workbook contains all the class activities
that you will be completing to show formative learning. These will be
assessed as part of your portfolio of evidence as formative assessment. You
will be handing in the Learner Workbook as part of your Portfolio of Evidence.
• Learner Portfolio of Evidence Guide: The Learner Portfolio of Evidence
Guide provides details about the assessment, such as the assessment
preparation, plan and specific summative assessment activities that you need
to complete in the workplace.
Both formative and summative assessment is used as part of this outcomes-based
learning programme:
• Formative Assessment: In order to gain credits for this Unit Standard you
will need to prove to an assessor that you are competent. The Class
Activities throughout your Learner Workbook are designed not only to help
you learn new skills, but also to prove that you have mastered competence.
You will be required to develop a Portfolio of Evidence to hand in to an
assessor so that you can be assessed against the outcomes of this Unit
Standard. Where you encounter a Class Activity icon, you must complete the
formative assessment activity in the Learner Workbook. Comprehensive
guidelines for the development of your Portfolio of Evidence may be found in
the Learner Portfolio of Evidence Guide for the particular learning programme
that you are working with.
• Summative Assessment: The NQF’s objective is to create independent and
self-sufficient learners. This means that you will also be required to do
independent research and assignments, such as Knowledge Questions,
