The purpose of the NQF level 2 New Venture Creation qualification is to provide a qualification that can form the basis for structured
programs for potential and existing entrepreneurs to capitalize on opportunities to start and grow sustainable businesses that form
part of the mainstream economy, enabling the learners to tender for business opportunities within both the public and private sectors.
This qualification is designed for learners who intend to set up or have already set up own ventures. Assessment of the competencies
and knowledge in the qualification needs to be done in the context of the learner’s own new venture.

The future of South Africa’s economy does not just lie in the formal sector, but within the informal SMME sector too. This is a growing
part of South Africa’s economy and requires substantial focus from a developmental perspective. Following the success of the
implementation of the National Certificate: New Venture Creation (NVC): Level 4 and upon doing further research, it has been
established that there is a great demand to equip entrepreneurial learners with knowledge and skills at NQF level 2 so that they can
become part of the mainstream economy as they set up and manage new ventures. Whilst the complexity of learning will be simpler at
this level, the main outputs, requirements and competences of such entrepreneurs are broadly the same.
The small business sector is growing and it is in light of this that various stakeholders have taken the initiative to provide mentorship
programs that will assist budding entrepreneurs to become a more integral part of the mainstream economy, serving both the public
and private sectors. Apart from the formative development that can take place via these programs, it also provides more importantly
for sustainable development.
Thus the design and establishment of an entrepreneurship qualification aims to:
Develop appropriate skills and knowledge for the establishment and development of an enterprise.
Address the economic/administrative and behavioral barriers that contribute to failures in starting and sustaining an enterprise.
Create long-term solutions for job creation and SMME development via the building blocks and structure of a qualification that practically
addresses the learning requirements of budding entrepreneurs.
