Programme Overview

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,

Version 1 Facilitator Guide 6


Programme Overview

Practical Activity (completed in the workplace), Witness Testimony and


Logbook.
The assessment process is discussed in detail in the Learner Portfolio of
Evidence Guide. When you are ready, you will advise your mentor that you
are ready for assessment. He or she will then sign off the required sections in
the Learner Portfolio of Evidence Guide and you will be able to submit your
Portfolio of Evidence for assessment. The summative assessment activities
placed in the Learner Portfolio of Evidence Guide for your convenience. If
any of your assessment is conducted using observation, role plays or verbal
assessment, place a signed copy of the checklists, once completed by your
mentor or line manager in your Learner Portfolio of Evidence Guide, as
indicated.
The Training Provider will assess the portfolio. If successful, the learner will receive
the credit value of this learning programme. The entire assessment process is
explained in the Learner Portfolio of Evidence Guide and you are urged to read this
guide as soon as possible as it explains the assessment process in detail and
clarifies the learner’s rights and responsibilities to ensure that the assessment is fair,
valid and reliable.

Ask the customer for identification like a driver's licence or a passport. Check that
the photo matches the customer. Write the licence or passport number and the
customer's address on the back of the cheque. This will help to contact the
customer if the cheque isn't accepted by the bank.

3. Explain how you would sort and pack your cash in the cash register
Learner specific answer but should include:
Sort the notes by denomination. Arrange each stack of notes so they all face the
same direction, with the front of each note facing up.
Place the stack of 10s in the slot of the cash drawer furthest to the left. Place 20s in
the next slot, 50s in the next and 100s in the slot furthest to the right.
Place any notes larger than a R100 and all checks received in the compartment
beneath the cash drawer.
Separate coins by denomination and place each pile in a separate section of the
cash drawer. Start with 10 cents on the far left, 20 cents next, then 50 cents, then

Version 1 Facilitator Guide 20


Facilitation Agenda Day 1

the R1 coins, the R2 coins and lastly the R5 coins on the far right.

4. Explain how you would count the money that receive for a cash payment

Count the notes first. Work from the highest value notes to the lowest value notes.
Next count the coins. Work from the highest value coins to the lowest value coins.

Class Activity 3: Explain the investigation of overs


and shortages at Point of Sale 258157.3
258157 EEK10
Complete the following in small groups / individually as
per the instructions from your facilitator:
1. Every organisation would have a specific organisational policy and procedure
(standard) for cashing up. In your small groups discuss and describe your
organisations process for cashing up.
The process would include:
Counting the cash, adding up all the other types of payments received (cheques,
debit / credit card slips, etc.) to find a total. This total is recorded on the required
cashing-up documentation.
The till float (amount of cash that should be left in the till for issuing clients with cash
change) is then subtracted and placed back into the till drawer – ready for use in the
next shift. This total is recorded on the required cashing-up documentation.
Any cash payments made from the till is then added up and recorded on the
required cashing-up documentation.
The total payments received are then compared to the cash register / till slip total.
This total is recorded on the required cashing-up documentation. These two
amounts should balance. There should be no “shorts” or “overs”. Any overages and
or shortages should be investigated. Human nature should be taken into account for
minor errors and small amounts. However, frequent discrepancies could be sign of
employee theft or may indicate further training is required for a particular cashier.
The required documentation is then completed and signed for by the cashier and
the admin manager / supervisor / manager.

2. What information do you need to do a reconciliation

To reconcile, you'll need the following items:


cash summary information – the totals of all cash takings listed in each
denomination
non-cash summary information – the totals of all non-cash items
final terminal reading – showing the breakup of all cash, non-cash and other
transactions
EFTPOS terminal final reading.

3. Identify the possible causes for the following problems

Observation is used by the supervisor / assessor / facilitator to observe a learner
carrying out a particular activity as a normal part of his/her learning / workplace
responsibilities. This method is particularly suited to evaluating process as well as
practical skills. All the observations must be real - simulation is only allowed as part
of the practical observation activity.

Instructions to the Learner:


Your supervisor / assessor / facilitator will observe you as you perform the listed
tasks in this observation. You must correctly do all the tasks listed (assessment
criteria) on the sign-off sheets that follows. When carrying out this action, all related
organisational policies and procedures must be followed at all times.
• Sign your name (in the first learner signature block) in agreement that your
facilitator did observe you in the first observation. Sign the other blocks for
subsequent observations with the supervisor (and/or assessor).
• Sign the last block on the observation sheet, as a final testimonial to the
practical observation.

Instructions to the supervisor:


You need to observe the learner performing the listed tasks as a normal part of
his/her workplace responsibilities on as many occasions as is required for the learner
to perform according to the required standard and related organisational policies and
procedures.
1. First Observation:
o Work in the column numbered: 1
o Fill in die date of the first observation in the block provided under
number 1.
