An occupational course is a training programme that teaches practical skills and knowledge for a specific job or career.
It focuses more on hands-on workplace skills rather than only theory. These courses are designed to prepare students to become job-ready in a particular occupation or industry.
In an occupational course, level and credits show the difficulty of the course and the amount of learning completed. The level shows how advanced the qualification is on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). In South Africa, NQF levels range from Level 1 to Level 10.
Credits measure how much learning time is needed to complete the course. In South Africa: 1 credit = 10 notional hours of learning
An EISA exam stands for an External Integrated Summative Assessment. It is the final national exam or practical assessment written by students doing certain occupational qualifications in South Africa. The EISA is used to test whether a student is fully competent and ready to work in that occupation.

- Ability to perform the job professionally
You write the EISA after completing:
