Unit Standard 259882 Level 5 Credits 12
WHAT IS F & I?
F&I is a common term in the automotive industry and is short for Finance and Insurance.
Most dealerships throughout the country have F&I offices to handle the calculation and
paperwork involved with the sale of a vehicle. In addition, the F&I office provides consumers
an opportunity to purchase ancillary products, such as e.g. vehicle service contracts or a
maintenance program sold in conjunction with the sale of a vehicle.
The primary function of the F & I is to maximise the overall profitability of the sales through
promotion of value added products and services.
A professional F & I must make sure that the entire dealership understands where F&I
function fits in the bigger picture for total profitability, and develop a set of optimum
circumstances in which F& I productivity can flourish

FETC: Retail Insurance Qualification SAQA ID 66609 at Level 4 minimum of
140 credits
How will this qualification benefit your career?
The purpose of the Qualification is to build knowledge and skill required for registration with
the financial service industry including Motor Retail. It is intended to empower learners to
acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently as individuals
in the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic
environment and changing world of work as a result of regulation in Financial Services
industry. It should add value to the qualifying learner in terms of enrichment of the person,
status and recognition.
The Qualification covers Long-Term and Short-Term insurance related learning. It introduces
a fundamental understanding of the key terms, rules, concepts and principles of insurance
that will enable learners to be informed workers in the Retail Insurance industry. It provides a
balanced learning experience that allows flexible access to life-long learning, higher
education and to productive employment. It provides an opportunity for learners to learn and
apply academic skills in relation to the workplace and will allow for multi-skilling. The focus is
on basic information gathering, analysis, evaluation, presentation and the ability to apply
knowledge of the sub-field to solve common problems within a given familiar context. The
knowledge and skills learnt towards the Qualification should make learners who sell
insurance policies in the Retail Sector more informed, efficient and cost-effective workers
who meet the Fit and Proper Qualification requirements. This should result, in more effective
and efficient service to the consumer and should make the industry more competitive and
compliant in the global market.
Qualifying learners are capable of:
• Carrying out basic research, information gathering and analysis.
• Interpreting current affairs and their influence on insurance.
• Managing personal finances and risk in a work environment.
• Operating a computer for business purposes.
• Understanding the nature and scope of Short Term insurance.
• Understanding the nature and scope of Long-Term insurance.
• Applying knowledge of legislation, ethics and compliance in a Retail Insurance
environment.
• Applying skills of customer care to build a professional relationship with a client.
The FETC: Retail Insurance is designed to meet the needs of learners who earn commission
from the sale of insurance or financial service products, but do not necessarily work in the
7|P a g e
sales@intelligosolutions.com or 011 234 6251
insurance sector. Learners may be employed in a variety of positions in retail outlets across a
number of different industries. The Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS)
(Act 37 of 2002) imposes licensing requirements in terms of the Fit and Proper determination
of the Financial Services Board (FSB). Learners who offer combinations of Long-Term and
Short-Term insurance as subsidiary products or services are construed to be giving financial
advice. They are therefore required to be licensed with the Financial Services Board.
The FETC: Retail Insurance is a generic Qualification that combines aspects of Long-Term
and Short-Term insurance for niche markets. It allows the individual to work towards a
nationally recognised Financial Services Qualification that combines features of Long and
Short-Term insurance. It is flexible enough to accommodate both learners in formal education
and learners who already arrange Insurance within a selected industry. The intention is to
promote the development of knowledge and skills that is required in Retail Insurance for
licensing purposes.
Learners at this level do work that requires fundamental knowledge of appropriate legislation
and the most important areas of the insurance within a business context. They require a
range of skills and the ability to apply essential methods and procedures within the limits of
their authority. The work roles are in retail outlets and include, but are not limited to:
• Travel agents.
• Telemarketing.
• Finance and Insurance Managers in motor dealers.
• Salesman who insure packaged goods.
• Agents who insure household goods in transit.
• Sales people in furniture and electrical appliances.
• Credit card insurance.
• Employees in retail outlets that run accounts, in-store cards or debtor’s books and who
sell debt protection insurance.
• Estate Agents who offer credit life cover and life cover for owners of bonds and rentals.
• Aviation management agents and people who recommend insurance or give advice.
• Managing Agents who advise on insurance for Sectional Title Schemes.
The FETC: Retail Insurance should produce knowledgeable, multi-skilled workers who are
FAIS compliant and are able to contribute to improved productivity and efficiency within the
Retail Insurance sub-sector. It should provide the means for learners to receive recognition of
prior learning, to upgrade their skills and achieve a nationally recognised Qualification. It
should also assist learners who move into positions where they give financial advice but are
not necessarily employed by Financial Services institutions.

sales@intelligosolutions.com or 011 234 6251How will this qualification benefit your career?
The purpose of the Qualification is to build knowledge and skill required by employees in
Long-term Insurance who have had schooling at or below NQF level 4. It serves as a bridging
Qualification into Long-term Insurance as learners will not have acquired the necessary
knowledge and skills as part of the school curriculum. It is intended to empower learners to
acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently as individuals
in the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic
environment and changing world of work in the financial services industry. It should add value
to the qualifying learner in terms of enrichment of the person, status and recognition.
As a Qualification that covers Long-term Insurance related learning, it provides a framework
for learners to develop competencies that will give them insight into the Long-term Insurance
sub sector. It introduces a basic understanding of the key terms, rules, concepts and
principles of the field that will enable learners to be informed workers in the industry. It
provides a balanced learning experience that allows flexible access to lifelong learning,
higher education and to productive employment in Long-term Insurance. It provides an
opportunity for learners to learn and apply academic skills in relation to the workplace and will
allow for multi-skilling.
The FETC: Long-term Insurance allows the individual to work towards a nationally
recognised Qualification. It is flexible enough to accommodate both learners in formal
education and learners already employed in the Long-term Insurance sector. The focus is on
basic information gathering, analysis, presentation and the ability to apply knowledge of the
field to solve routine problems within given frameworks.
Qualifying learners should be knowledgeable about and competent in:
• Carrying out basic research, information gathering and analysis.
• Interpreting current affairs and their influence on Long-term Insurance.
• Communication and mathematical literacy at a level that allows them to operate effectively
in the financial services industry.
• Behaviour and ethics in a work environment and the implications, consequences and
liability arising out of non-compliance with relevant legislation.
• Managing aspects of personal finances.
• Knowledge of Long-term products including group retirement benefits, life and healthcare.
• Customer care including internal and external customers.
• Understanding the key terms, rules, concepts and principles of the Long-term sub-sector
in general and their chosen career path in particular.
• Application of the law of contract in Long-term Insurance.
Learners employed in Long-term Insurance at this level may be Administrators, Consultants,
Personal Assistants, Secretaries, Service Centre Staff or Category B Intermediaries, Term
Broker Consultants, Client Liaison Officers, IT Systems Designers and Analysts in Long-term
organisations, Product Developers or Business Analysts in Personal or Corporate Benefits,
Marketing or Life Administration. They do work that requires an understanding of the Long-
term sub-sector within the context of the Financial Services Industry and some specialisation
in their selected career path. They require insurance knowledge at a fundamental level and
are required to interpret information and may be required to adjust an application of
Scheme/Policy rules. Trustee training has been identified as a necessity by the Department
of Finance and the Financial Services Board.
Note that: Learners who work in the retail industry and sell Insurance as part of their work but
are not in a career path in the Insurance industry should do the FETC: Retail Insurance.
