What is the Qualifications and Credit Framework? OFQUAL have introduced the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) to increase flexibility for learners and employers. Qualifications may be built up from individual units according to rules of combination. The units are derived from the National Occupational Standards, which are compiled by Lantra SSC, the Sector Skills Council for the Land-based industries. Instruction Attendance at a course of instruction is not a pre-requisite for an application for an assessment but potential Candidates are strongly advised to ensure that they are up to the standards that will be expected of them when they are assessed. * Learning Time (LT) Learning Time (LT) is a better indicator of the time requirement needed for a candidate to achieve competence in this qualification. It has replaced Guided Learning Hours (GLH) which are defined as “tutor or teacher led hours”. LT is defined as “a notional measure of the learning time a typical learner might be expected to take to complete and achieve all learning outcomes”. It takes into account prior learning and encompasses: formal learning (including classes, tutorials, on line tuition), coaching and mentoring, practical work, relevant IT activity, information retrieval, expected private study and revision, work-based activity which leads to assessment, practice to achieve competence, formative assessment, programme planning and feedback. Access to Assessment Assessment centres will be responsible for arranging assessment on behalf of the Candidate. The minimum age limit for Candidates taking Certificates of Competence is 16 years. There is no upper age limit. The assessment consists of one compulsory unit: Unit 208 Prepare and Operate a Base Machine Outcome: 1. Be able to work safely (B1) 2. Be able to prepare and drive the machine (B2) 3. Know how to prepare and drive machine (B3) 4. Know relevant health and safety legislation and industry good practice (B4) Candidates must successfully achieve all assessment activities in the above unit. Endorsement: The assessment may be taken on a machine with any type of machine that is 001 002 003 004 005 006 Under 2.5 tonne Tracked Over 2.5 tonne Tracked Under 2.5 tonne Wheeled Articulated Over 2.5 tonne Wheeled Articulated Under 2.5 tonne Wheeled Rigid Over 2.5 tonne Wheeled Rigid The certificate will be endorsed accordingly. Candidates are encouraged to take their assessment with different machines to broaden their certification. Unit 215 Prepare and Operate Machinery for Drainage & Mounding Outcomes 1. Be able to work safely (DM1) 2. Be able to operate the machine (DM2) 3. Know relevant health and safety legislation and environmental good practice (DM3) 4. Know how to operate the machine (DM4) Candidates must successfully achieve all assessment activities in the above unit. 2 © City & Guilds 2013 Reproduction of this document in whole or in part is forbidden without prior consent of City & Guilds Drainage or Mounding Endorsement: The assessment may be taken on a machine with any type of: 007 008 Drainage Mounding The certificate will be endorsed accordingly. Only two endorsements can be taken in any one registration. Quality Assurance Verification is a process of monitoring assessment; it is an essential check to confirm that the assessment procedures are being carried out in the way City & Guilds has laid down. The overall aim of verification is to establish a system of quality assurance that is acceptable in terms of both credibility and cost effectiveness. Approved Assessors will be subject to a regular visit by the verifier at a time when assessments are being undertaken. A selection of assessment reports completed by the Assessor will be evaluated by a City & Guilds approved verifier. Compliance with the verification requirements is a pre-requisite for Assessors remaining on the list of approved Assessors. After assessment has been completed the Qualification Guidance is to be forwarded to the centre and retained by the centre until after the annual centre visit has taken place by a Quality Systems Consultant (QSC). As part of the quality assurance process, a minimum of two observations are required to be undertaken for each qualification that is assessed by a Trainer/Assessor. These will be carried out by an internal Verifier appointed by the Centre. One observation will be conducted in the presence of the Quality Systems Consultant. In respect of risk management, there is an expectation that additional observations up to a maximum of four will be carried out for the inexperienced or newly qualified Trainer/Assessor or Assessors. Performance Evaluation The result of each assessment activity is evaluated against the following criteria: M= Met Meets or exceeds the assessment criteria by displaying a level of practical performance and/or underpinning knowledge. If the Criterion has been MET, a tick is to be put in the box provided in the bottom right-hand column of each section. NM = Not Met Does not satisfy the requirements of the assessment criteria, being unable to perform the practical task satisfactorily or safely or being deficient in underpinning knowledge. If the Criterion is NOT MET, a cross is to be put in the box provided in the bottom right-hand column of each section. Appeals and Equal opportunities Centres must have their own auditable, appeals procedures. If a Candidate is not satisfied with the examination conditions or a Candidate feels the opportunity for examination is being denied, the Centre Manager should, in the first instance, address the problem. If, however the problem cannot be resolved, City & Guilds will arbitrate and an external verifier may be approached to offer independent advice. All appeals must be clearly documented by the Centre Manager and made available to the external verifier or City & Guilds if advice is required. Should occasions arise when centres are not satisfied with any aspect of the external verification process, they should contact Verification Services at City & Guilds. Access to the qualification is open to all, irrespective of gender, race, creed, age or special needs. The Centre Manager should ensure that no learner is subjected to unfair discrimination on any grounds in relation to access to assessment and to the fairness of the assessment. QCA requires City & Guilds to monitor centres to check whether equal opportunities policies are being adhered to. Validation of Equipment A Manufacturer’s instruction book or operator’s manual should be available for the Candidate to use during the assessment if required. Vehicles must comply with department of Transport and road Traffic acts where relevant. Any appropriate item of machinery complying with current legal requirements is acceptable for the assessment, provided it is suitably equipped for all assessment activities to be carried out. Additional Information May be sought from the relevant manufacturer’s operator manuals or any other appropriate training or safety publication. Questions should be related to the background or employment aspirations of the candidate and, where possible, product labels used should be representative of products typically used in that sector or industry. Candidates who undertake this assessment and have met the requirements are reminded of their legal obligation to receive/undertake appropriate additional training in the use of any equipment that differs from that used during the assessment, but which they are nevertheless qualified to use. © City & Guilds 2013 Reproduction of this document in whole or in part is forbidden without prior consent of City & Guilds Drainage or Mounding 3 Assessment Guidance for the Trainer/Assessor This qualification can only be assessed by an Assessor who is suitably qualified and meets the requirements of the awarding body. The Assessor must be independent and cannot have been involved with the training of the Candidate. Please see City & Guilds Centre Manual for guidance. The Candidate is to be notified of the place and time of assessment and when formal assessment commences and ceases. Assessors are reminded that assessment is a formal process and that assessment must be carried out using this Qualification Guidance. All relevant assessment criteria must be assessed against the criterion as specified in the Qualification Guidance. Assessment will be carried out by direct observation and by oral questioning of the Candidate. Where a specific number of responses are required theses may include other suitable answers not specified if they are deemed to be correct by the Assessor. The performance of the Candidate is to be recorded on the Qualification Guidance as directed by completing the tick boxes. Space has been provided on the Qualification Guidance for the person assessing to record relevant information which can be utilised to provide feedback to the Candidate. After assessment has been completed the Qualification Guidance document is to be retained by the assessor and provided if required by a Quality Systems consultant (QSC).
