Volume One of Three The Civil Construction Industry Training Package (BCCO3) is comprised of three volumes. This division is necessitated by the size of the contents. Because of the extent of use of cross-sectoral competency units within the Civil Construction Package, most users will require all Volumes. The structure of the volumes is shown on page iv.

This volume contains part of the endorsed component of the Civil Construction Training Package BCC03. It is one of three volumes and should not be used in isolation of those other volumes.

This Training Package was endorsed by NTQC in 31/12/2003.

This Training Package is to be reviewed by 31/12/2006.

Preliminary Information Important Note to Users Training Packages are not static documents; they are amended periodically to reflect the latest industry practices and are version controlled. It is essential that the latest version is always used.

Check the version number before commencing training or assessment

This Training Package is Version 3 - check whether this is the latest version by going to the National Training Information Service (www.ntis.gov.au) and locating information about the Training Package. Alternatively, contact SkillsDMC or website: www.skillsdmc.com.au to confirm the latest version number.

Explanation of version number conventions

The primary release Training Package is Version 1. When changes are made to a Training Package, sometimes the version number is changed and sometimes it is not, depending on the extent of the change. When a Training Package is reviewed it is considered to be a new Training Package for the purposes of version control, and is Version 1. Do not confuse the version number with the Training Package's national code (which remains the same during its period of endorsement).

Explanation of the review date

The review date (shown on the title page and in the footer of each page) indicates when the Training Package is expected to be reviewed in the light of changes such as changing technologies and circumstances. The review date is not an expiry date. Endorsed Training Packages and their components remain current until they are reviewed or replaced.



Overview of Training Packages


Overview of Training Packages What is a Training Package?

A Training Package is an integrated set of nationally endorsed competency standards, assessment guidelines and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications for a specific industry, industry sector or enterprise. Each Training Package:

• provides a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognising and assessing people’s skills, and may also have optional support materials;

• enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of workplace competencies;

• encourages the development and delivery of flexible training which suits individual and industry requirements; and

• encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads to verifiable workplace outcomes.

How do Training Packages fit within the National Training Framework?

The National Training Framework is made up of the nationally agreed quality arrangements for the vocational education and training sector, the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF), and Training Packages endorsed by the National Training Quality Council (NTQC).

How are Training Packages developed?

Training Packages are developed by Industry Skills Councils or enterprises to meet the identified training needs of specific industries or industry sectors. To gain national endorsement of Training Packages, developers must provide evidence of extensive research, consultation and support within the industry area or enterprise.

How do Training Packages encourage flexibility?

Training Packages describe the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplace without prescribing how people should be trained. Training Packages acknowledge that people can achieve vocational competency in many ways by emphasising what the learner can do, not how or where they learned to do it. For example, some experienced workers might be able to demonstrate competency against the units of competency, and even gain a qualification, without completing a formal training program. With Training Packages, assessment and training may be conducted at the workplace, off-the-job, at a training organisation, during regular work, or through work experience, work placement, work simulation or any combination of these.

Who can deliver and assess using Training Packages?

Training and assessment using Training Packages must be conducted by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that has the qualifications or specific units of competency on its scope of registration, or that works in partnership with another RTO as specified in the AQTF Standards for Registered Training Organisations.



Training Package Components

Training Packages are made up of mandatory components endorsed by the NTQC, and optional support materials. Training Package Endorsed Components The nationally endorsed components include the Competency Standards, Assessment Guidelines and Qualifications Framework. These form the basis of training and assessment in the Training Package and, as such, they must be used.

Competency Standards Each unit of competency identifies a discrete workplace requirement and includes the knowledge and skills that underpin competency as well as language, literacy and numeracy; and occupational health and safety requirements. The units of competency must be adhered to in training and assessment to ensure consistency of outcomes. Assessment Guidelines The Assessment Guidelines provide an industry framework to ensure all assessments meet industry needs and nationally agreed standards as expressed in the Training Package and the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. The Assessment Guidelines must be followed to ensure the integrity of assessment leading to nationally recognised qualifications. Qualifications Framework Each Training Package provides details of those units of competency that must be achieved to award AQF qualifications. The rules around which units of competency can be combined to make up a valid AQF qualification in the Training Package are referred to as the ‘packaging rules’. The packaging rules must be followed to ensure the integrity of nationally recognised qualifications issued. Training Package Support Materials The endorsed components of Training Packages are complemented and supported by optional support materials that provide for choice in the design of training and assessment to meet the needs of industry and learners. Training Package support materials can relate to single or multiple units of competency, an

industry sector, a qualification or the whole Training Package. They tend to fall into one or more of the categories illustrated below. Training Package support materials are produced by a range of stakeholders such as RTOs, individual trainers and assessors, private and commercial developers and Government agencies. Where such materials have been quality assured through a process of ‘noting’ by the NTQC, they display the following official logo. Noted support materials are listed on the National Training Information Service (NTIS), together with a detailed description and information on the type of product and its availability (www.ntis.gov.au ).

It is not compulsory to submit support materials for noting; any resources that meet the requirements of the Training Package can be used.

Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Codes

There are agreed conventions for the national codes used for Training Packages and their components. Always use the correct codes, exactly as they appear in the Training Package, and with the title always following the code. Training Package Codes Each Training Package has a unique five-character national code assigned when the Training Package is endorsed, for example BCC03. The first three characters are letters identifying the Training Package industry coverage and the last two characters are numbers identifying the year of endorsement. Qualification Codes Within each Training Package, each qualification has a unique eight-character code, for example BCC30506. The first three letters identify the Training Package; the first number identifies the qualification level (noting that Arabic numbers are not used in qualification titles themselves); the next two numbers identify the position in the sequence of the qualification at that level; and the last two numbers identify the year in which the qualification was endorsed. (Where qualifications are added after the initial Training Package endorsement, the last two numbers may differ from other Training Package qualifications as they identify the year in which those particular qualifications were endorsed.).

Unit of Competency Codes Within each Training Package, each unit of competency has a unique code. The unit of competency codes are assigned when the Training Package is endorsed, or when new units of competency are added to an existing endorsed Training Package. A typical code is made up of 12 characters, normally a mixture of uppercase letters and numbers, as in BCCCM2011B. The first three characters signify the Training Package (BCC03 Civil Construction Industry Training Package) and up to eight characters, relating to an industry sector, function or skill area, follow. The last character is always a letter and identifies the unit of competency version. The ‘A’ in the example above indicates that this is the original unit of competency. An incremented version identifier usually means that minor changes have been made. Typically this would mean that wording has changed in the range statement or evidence guide, providing clearer intent. Where changes are made that alter the outcome, a new code is assigned and the title is changed.

Training Package, Qualification and Unit of Competency Titles

There are agreed conventions for titling Training Packages and their components. Always use the correct titles, exactly as they appear in the Training Package, and with the code always placed before the title. Training Package Titles The title of each endorsed Training Package is unique and relates the Training Package’s broad industry coverage. Qualification Titles The title of each endorsed Training Package qualification is unique. Qualification titles use the following sequence:

• firstly, the qualification is identified as either Certificate I, Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma;

• this is followed by the words ‘in’ for Certificates I to IV and ‘of’ for Diploma and Advanced Diploma;

• then the industry descriptor follows, for example Civil Construction; and • if applicable, the occupational or functional stream follows in brackets, for example

(Trenchless Technology). For example:

• BCC30606 Certificate III in Civil Construction (Plant Operations) • BCC20206 Certificate II in Civil Construction (Bituminous Surfacing)

Unit of Competency Titles Each unit of competency title is unique. Unit of competency titles describe the competency outcome concisely, and are written in sentence case. For example:

• BCCRC2001B Repair potholes • BCCBS3002B Conduct paver screeding operations

Introduction


Introduction The Civil Construction Industry

Industry Coverage

This Training Package includes units of competency, qualifications and assessment guidelines that have application to the following sectors of the Civil Construction industry:

• Bituminous Surfacing • Road Construction and Maintenance

• Bridge Construction and Maintenance • Road Marking

• Foundation Work • Timber Bridge Construction and Maintenance

• Pipe Laying • Trenchless Technology

• Plant Operations • Tunnel Construction

Industry Profile

The Civil Construction Industry is primarily engaged in civil engineering work on infrastructure related projects covering such diverse fields as roads & subdivisions, bridgeworks, railways, harbours, sewerage and drainage, electrical infrastructure, pipelines and recreation works.

In November 2001(1), 711800 people were employed in the building and construction industry. Of these, 609 600 were full-time and 102 100 part time; 274 200 were employed in general construction and 437 600 in construction trade services. Of this latter group, it is estimated that over half will benefit from the coverage offered by this Civil Construction training package.

Employer representation in the industry is provided by a limited number of general or reasonably broadly based peak employer and industry associations and a further group of narrowly focused associations. The major general associations, covering more than one trade or sector include:

• Australian Contractors Association (mainly for large firms)

• Civil Contractors Federation (all size firms).

A significant factor and influence on the vocational education and training of the industry is the fact that firms of five (5) or less employees constitute some 94 per cent of all civil contractor businesses.

Union representation and coverage is, in the main, provided by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) and the Australian Workers Union (AWU).

In economic terms, engineering construction work in 2000-2001 accounted for not less than $20 000 million and contributed some 2.4 per cent of Australia’s gross domestic product. Key functional areas in that year may be gauged by the following values (expressed in $millions):

Introduction


• Roads and subdivisions 5266

• Electrical infrastructure 3002 • Recreation works 1011 • Sewerage and drainage 978 • Railways 608 • Bridgework 332 • Pipelines 290 • Harbours 199 The industry’s future is likely to be markedly influenced by technology enhancements which are increasing the range of multiple function equipments and reducing the degree of functional separation and speciality. Combinations and merging of functions is likely to bring into question traditional work organisation models. This situation may be further complicated if the recent trend in outsourcing government work effort to private enterprises continues into the future. These trends and influences on the industry’s vocational education and training requirements will need to be monitored if the package is to retain its currency and relevance.

Development Process General Background

This training package replaces the Civil Construction Training Package (BCC98) which was endorsed by the then National Training Framework Committee. The Package was due for review in 2001/2002.

The review was commenced in 2001 under the direction of the Board of Construction Training Australia and the detailed guidance of a Stream Advisory Committee (SAC). This process involved the review and updating of existing competency units, the review and updating of the qualifications structures and rules, and the review of the assessment guidelines. The review resulted in the preparation and submission of a report to the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) which included the three proposed components of the new Training Package.

ANTA Assistance Activity

On receipt of the proposed Training Package and in response to approaches from concerned parties, ANTA commissioned an independent review of the contents. Following consultation with the key parties, it was agreed to:

• Expand the existing Stream Advisory Committee (SAC) to a full National Steering Committee by the addition of representatives of the State/Territory Training Authorities (STA) and the significant Registered Training Organisations (RTO).

• Commission a Final Review Project to further refine the Package components to more accurately reflect the industry’s requirements and contemporary Training Package doctrine and policy.

• Provide additional ANTA resources, including consulting capacity from BCA Training & Development Services to undertake the agreed task.

Timeline

The final review activity commenced in December 2002 and concluded in August 2003.

Introduction


Timber Bridge Construction and Maintenance Components

Timber Bridging was previously included in National Training Package BCC98 as part of the then general Bridging qualification and units.

The Civil Skills Advisory Committee (SAC) of Construction Training Australia was advised that it was not possible for an individual to achieve Bridging competence against the BCC98 package because it required candidates to demonstrate competence in both timber and concrete materials which was at odds with industry practice. The SAC formally agreed that the Training Package should provide separate pathways for concrete and timber bridging.

The BCC03 package separated timber and concrete bridging, included the concrete bridge component of the package and deferred action on timber bridges pending the establishment of an appropriate national technical work group.

A number of state roads agencies expressed concern that the subject of Timber Bridging had not been addressed. This deficiency needed to be rectified to cater for the main roads and local government agencies that have extensive timber bridging assets.

Management Structures

In the first half of 2004, a Working Party of practitioners, based in RTA NSW, developed draft training package components for Timber Bridging employees. The membership of the Working Party is on page 19. The product is a proposed AQF Level III qualification that contains 13 new timber bridging competency units together with a range of other existing training package units.

In July 2004, the States Roads Agencies Steering Committee (SRASC) was formally established. The membership of this Committee is on page 19. The draft qualification and competency units were distributed to all members of this Committee and subsequently to other interested parties, including the AWU and the CFMEU, for validation. Feedback received from the validation process was considered by the Steering Committee and, where appropriate, incorporated into the final materials.

The Industry Need

The State and Territory Main Roads Agencies have technical standards coverage of timber bridging construction and maintenance. In a number of States, these agencies have their own bridging workforces while in others the functions have been largely outsourced. Local Government is also a major player in this field although they are technically responsible to their State Main Roads agencies.

The number of new timber bridges is quite limited and in some States there is a desire to reduce the asset and gradually replace them with bridging of other materials. The asset is however still very large and will require an ongoing and extensive maintenance capability for many years. Additionally, many of the bridges are over one hundred years old, form an important part of our history, were built by figures of national significance, including General Sir John Monash, and are now attracting heritage status.

Even by conservative estimates, timber bridging construction and maintenance skills will be required by mainstream workforces for at least the next forty - fifty years.

Introduction


Development Methodology and Consultation Processes

Because State Roads Agencies have technical and in many cases operational responsibility for timber bridges, it was considered appropriate for the draft materials to be developed and validated by their practitioners. The development and validation processes involved the following:

• In the first half of 2004, a Working Party of practitioners from RTA NSW worked with a support consultant to develop the draft qualification and the required specialist competency units. The membership of this Working Party is listed on page 19. This process involved a number of meetings, the circulation and feedback on preliminary drafts and the final agreement on the validation draft materials.

• The State Roads Agencies Steering Committee was formed by the constituency shown on page 19. The Committee held a number of meetings over the period August – October 2004. The purpose of these meetings was twofold:

- For each State and Territory to examine their position as to whether or not timber bridging was an area of skills interest to them at this time, and

- For the interested agencies to examine, validate and provide feedback on the proposed qualification and competencies.

• The Steering Committee provisionally approved the qualification and competency units which were then distributed to the Skills Councils/ITABs in the interested States and also to the two unions involved in this area of work.

• The outcomes of the development and validation processes were as follows:

- The Roads Agencies from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania support the endorsement of the components. Letters to this effect are listed in Attachment 3 and included in Enclosure 1.

- The Northern Territory, South Australia and West Australia have no direct interest in this development at this time but are not opposed to its national endorsement. Letters to this effect are listed in Attachment 3 and included in Enclosure 1.

- The Skills Councils/ITABs from the interested State of Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory support the endorsement of the components. Letters to this effect are listed in Enclosure 1 and included in Enclosure B. Victoria does not have an ITAB although Vic Roads support the proposal. The Tasmanian ITAB has not responded although the Principal Bridge Engineer from DIER has supported the proposal. New South Wales has also not formally responded although the RTA and the National Convenor of the SRAJSC are clearly supportive.

- The Australian Workers Union (AWU) supports national endorsement of the proposal. The CFMEU is opposed to the proposal (see Issues below).

Introduction


Issues

The Issues in this development are quite straightforward. They are summarised as follows:

• Civil Construction Training Package BCC03 replaced Package BCC98.

• The original BCC98 contained a single bridging qualification which covered both concrete and timber bridges.

• The Civil Skills Advisory Committee (SAC) of Construction Training Australia was advised that it was not possible for an individual to achieve Bridging competence against the BCC98 package because it required candidates to demonstrate competence in both timber and concrete materials which was at odds with industry practice. The SAC formally agreed that the bridging competency should provide separate pathways for concrete and timber.

• At the time of development of the replacement package (BCC03), the subject of concrete bridging was covered with the resultant qualification and specialist competencies being endorsed by the NTQC.

• The development of Timber Bridging components for BCC03 was deliberately deferred pending detailed examination by experienced practitioners.

• The Timber Bridging components for BCC03 have now been developed and are ready for NTQC endorsement and incorporation into BCC03.

Consultation on Safety Issues

In an industry of this nature the question of industrial safety and related regulatory requirements is paramount. Consultation on safety issues was effected with NOHSC staff in Canberra and also with National Construction Working Group representatives in relation to Bridging. Cross-referencing to NOHSC, regulatory requirements and risk management needs has been included in all relevant competency units.

Training Package Contents

The Civil Construction Industry Training Package consists of some one hundred and thirty six competency units which are used to create thirteen (13) qualifications in the Certificate II and III levels. The units of competency are in Appendix 3 and the qualifications are contained on page 32.

The Assessment Guidelines for the Package are contained on page 65.

Timber Bridging Qualification and Units

The proposal for endorsement contains Qualification BCC 31103, Certificate III in Timber Bridge Construction and Maintenance. The qualification structure contains thirteen specialist timber bridge units with a mandatory requirement for six of these units and elective options on the others. This reflects the reality of the variety of workplace requirements in different States. The remainder of the core/mandatory units are from previously endorsed units.

Qualifications Framework


Qualifications Framework The Australian Qualifications Framework

What is the Australian Qualifications Framework? A brief overview of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) follows. For a full explanation of the AQF see the AQF Implementation Handbook, 3rd Edition 2002. You can download it from the Australian Qualifications- Framework Advisory Board (AQFAB) website (www.aqf.edu.au) or obtain a hard copy by contacting AQFAB on phone 03 9639 1606 or by emailing AQFAB on [email protected] The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. In the vocational education and training (VET) sector it assists national consistency for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling national recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment. Training Package qualifications in the VET sector must comply with the titles and guidelines of the AQF. Endorsed Training Packages provide a unique title for each AQF qualification which must always be reproduced accurately. Qualifications

Training Packages can incorporate the following six AQF qualifications. • Certificate I in … • Certificate II in … • Certificate III in … • Certificate IV in … • Diploma of … • Advanced Diploma of … Graduate Certificates and Graduate Diplomas can also be awarded in the vocational education and training sector under certain conditions – see the AQF Implementation Handbook for details. On completion of the requirements defined in the Training Package, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may issue a nationally recognised AQF qualification. Issuance of AQF qualifications must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and the Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularly Standard 10. Statement of Attainment

Where an AQF qualification is partially achieved through the achievement of one or more endorsed units of competency, an RTO may issue a Statement of Attainment. Issuance of Statements of Attainment must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and the Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularly Standard 10.

http://www.aqf.edu.au/




Under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, RTOs must recognise the achievement of competencies as recorded on a qualification or Statement of Attainment issued by other RTOs. Given this, recognised competencies can progressively build towards a full AQF qualification. AQF Guidelines and Learning Outcomes

The AQF Implementation Handbook provides a comprehensive guideline for each AQF qualification. A summary of the learning outcome characteristics and their distinguishing features for each VET related AQF qualification is provided below.

Certificate I

Characteristics of Learning Outcomes

Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform a defined range of activities most of which may be routine and predictable.

New Apprenticeship Arrangements

All qualifications within this Package are open to New Apprenticeship pathways.

Customising/Contextualising the Training Package

Training Packages are intended to be customised to meet the requirements of the workplace while still retaining the intent of the original outcomes. This Training Package provides qualifications that allow for a combination of units from both within the civil construction industry and across a range of external Training Packages. There are two options for customising units. Unit contextualisation refers to customising the content of units and qualification customisation refers to customising the choice of units available within a qualification.

Unit Contextualisation The purpose of unit contextualisation is to directly relate the unit content to the workplace context. The first part of a unit that may need to be contextualised is the range statement. The range statement explains the context in which the skills and knowledge in the unit are applied. The range statement identifies conditions that must be met and others that may apply. The terms ‘is to’ and ‘are to’ require no further explanation as they are mandatory. The use of the term ‘may include’ indicates where contextualisation may apply. These conditions may be contextualised to suit workplace requirements and conditions. For example, the range statement often includes information about the types of processes and equipment that may be used. This can be expanded to suit workplace requirements.

The elements, performance criteria and evidence guide outline the skills and knowledge that must be covered to achieve competence. This information is expressed at a level of detail appropriate across industry. When using standards in a workplace, contextualisation involves describing how each item applies in the given context. For example, all operators are required to recognise and control OHS hazards in the workplace. Contextualisation would involve identifying the specific hazards and control methods used. This allows the workplace to directly link the outcomes to their requirements and express this in familiar language. The essential rule when contextualising a unit/s is to make sure that the whole evidence guide is covered and the intent of the unit is retained.

Special attention needs to be paid to the Critical Aspects of Evidence which in this package establish the industry approved minima for the satisfaction of the application aspects of competency. These must be satisfied through the assessment process.

Qualification Customisation within the Training Package

The civil construction qualifications are designed to provide a reasonable degree of flexibility to select the combination of units appropriate to a given work process. In a sense every qualification completed presents a customised outcome.

Potential also exists for further customisation at the qualification level by the inclusion of additional units, imported from other existing Training Packages.



Employability Skills

Employability Skills replacing Key Competency information from 2006

In May 2005, the approach to incorporate Employability Skills within Training Package qualifications and units of competency was endorsed. As a result, from 2006 Employability Skills will progressively replace Key Competency information in Training Packages.

Background to Employability Skills

Employability Skills are also sometimes referred to as generic skills, capabilities or Key Competencies. The Employability Skills discussed here build on the Mayer Committee’s Key Competencies, which were developed in 1992 and attempted to describe generic competencies for effective participation in work.

The Business Council of Australia (BCA) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), produced the Employability Skills for the Future report in 2002 in consultation with other peak employer bodies and with funding provided by the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEEWR) and the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA). Officially released by Dr Nelson (Minister for Education, Science and Training) on 23 May 2002, copies of the report are available from the DEEWR website at:

http://www.deewr.gov.au/archive/ty/publications/employability_skills/index.htm.

The report indicated that business and industry now require a broader range of skills than the Mayer Key Competencies Framework and featured an Employability Skills Framework identifying eight Employability Skills1:

• communication • teamwork • problem solving • initiative and enterprise • planning and organising • self-management • learning • technology. The report demonstrated how Employability Skills can be further described for particular occupational and industry contexts by sets of facets. The facets listed in the report are the aspects of the Employability Skills that the sample of employers surveyed identified as being important work skills. These facets were seen by employers as being dependent both in their nature and priority on an enterprise’s business activity.

1 Personal attributes that contribute to employability were also identified in the report but are not part of the Employability Skills Framework.

Summaries are designed to assist trainers and assessors to identify and include important industry application of Employability Skills in learning and assessment strategies.



The following is important information for trainers and assessors about Employability Skills Summaries.

• Employability Skills Summaries provide examples of how each skill is applicable to the job roles covered by the qualification.

• Employability Skills Summaries contain general information about industry context which is further explained as measurable outcomes of performance in the units of competency in each qualification.

• The detail in each Employability Skills Summary will vary depending on the range of job roles covered by the qualification in question.

• Employability Skills Summaries are not exhaustive lists of qualification requirements or checklists of performance (which are separate assessment tools that should be designed by trainers and assessors after analysis at the unit level).

• Employability Skills Summaries contain information that may also assist in building learners’ understanding of industry and workplace expectations.

Assessment Guidelines Introduction

These Assessment Guidelines provide the endorsed framework for assessment of units of competency in this Training Package. They are designed to ensure that assessment is consistent with the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Assessments against the units of competency in this Training Package must be carried out in accordance with these Assessment Guidelines.

Assessment System Overview

This section provides an overview of the requirements for assessment when using this Training Package, including a summary of the AQTF requirements; licensing/registration requirements; and assessment pathways. Benchmarks for Assessment Assessment within the National Training Framework is the process of collecting evidence and making judgments about whether competency has been achieved to confirm whether an individual can perform to the standards expected in the workplace, as expressed in the relevant endorsed unit of competency. In the areas of work covered by this Training Package, the endorsed units of competency are the benchmarks for assessment. As such, they provide the basis for nationally recognised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). Australian Quality Training Framework Assessment Requirements Assessment leading to nationally recognised AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment in the vocational education and training sector must meet the requirements of the AQTF as expressed in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. The Standards for Registered Training Organisations can be downloaded from the DEEWR website at www.deewr.gov.au or can be obtained in hard copy from DEEWR. The following points summarise the assessment requirements under the AQTF. • Registration of Training Organisations Assessment must be conducted by, or on behalf of, an RTO formally registered by a State or Territory Registering/Course Accrediting Body in accordance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. The RTO must have the specific units of competency and/or AQF qualifications on its scope of registration. See Section 1 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. • Quality Training and Assessment

Each RTO must have systems in place to plan for and provide quality training and assessment across all its operations. See Standard 1 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

http://www.anta.gov.au/



• Assessor Competency Requirements Each person involved in training, assessment or client service must be competent for the functions they perform. See Standard 7 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations for assessor competency requirements. Standard 7 also specifies the competencies that must be held by trainers. • Assessment Requirements The RTO’s assessments must meet the requirements of the endorsed components of Training Packages within its scope of registration. See Standard 8 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. • Assessment Strategies Each RTO must identify, negotiate, plan and implement appropriate learning and assessment strategies to meet the needs of each of its clients. See Standard 9 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. • Mutual Recognition Each RTO must recognise the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTO. See Standard 5 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. • Access and Equity and Client Services Each RTO must apply access and equity principles, provide timely and appropriate information, advice and support services that assist clients to identify and achieve desired outcomes. This may include reasonable adjustment in assessment. See Standard 6 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. • Partnership Arrangements RTOs must have, and comply with, written agreements with each organisation providing training and/or assessment on its behalf. See Standard 1.6 of Standards for Registered Training Organisations. • Recording Assessment Outcomes Each RTO must have effective administration and records management procedures in place, and must record AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued. See Standards 4 and 10.2 of the Standards for Registered Training. • Issuing AQF qualifications and Statement of Attainment Each RTO must issue AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment that meet the requirements of the AQF Implementation Handbook and the endorsed Training Packages within the scope of its registration. An AQF qualification is issued once the full requirements for a qualification, as specified in the nationally endorsed Training Package are met. A Statement of Attainment is issued where the individual is assessed as competent against fewer units of competency than required for an AQF qualification. See Standard 10 and Section 2 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.



Licensing/Registration Requirements

This section provides information on licensing/registration requirements for this Training Package, with the following important disclaimer.

Licensing and registration requirements that apply to specific industries, and vocational education and training, vary between each State and Territory, and can regularly change. The developers of this Training Package, and DEEWR, consider that the licensing/registration requirements described in this section apply to RTOs, assessors or candidates with respect to this Training Package. While reasonable care has been taken in its preparation, the developers of this Training Package and DEEWR cannot guarantee that the list is definitive or accurate at the time of reading; the information in this section is provided in good faith on that basis.

Contact the relevant State or Territory Department(s) to check if the licensing/registration requirements described below still apply, and to check if there are any others with which you must comply. For further information contact the relevant State or Territory Authority (see table below). Many of the workplace tasks and activities undertaken to achieve a qualification or competency standard in this Training Package are covered by licensing and/or registration requirements. It is vital that before commencing work in the Civil Construction sector, the required certification has been granted by the relevant State or Territory regulatory authority. There is no one ‘National’ license for the sector or any of its functions. Certification responsibilities and systems are administered by State legislation and may differ between States and Territories.

The driving of plant on public roads will require the driver to obtain the relevant class drivers license from the relevant transport department or equivalent in their jurisdiction.

Requirements for Assessors In order to conduct assessment for statutory licensing or other industry registration requirements, assessors must meet the requirements outlined in the following chart, in addition to the AQTF requirements. Requirements for RTOs Selected units of competency and qualifications in this Training Package provide the basis for a range of statutory licensing and industry registration arrangements. To satisfy these licensing and registration arrangements, RTOs must meet the additional requirements detailed in the following chart. Requirements for Candidates Individuals being assessed under statutory licensing and industry registration systems must comply with training and experience requirements additional to the minimum requirements identified in this Training Package.

Pathways

The competencies in this Training Package may be attained in a number of ways including through: • formal or informal education and training • experiences in the workplace • general life experience, and/or • any combination of the above. Assessment under this Training Package leading to an AQF qualification or Statement of Attainment may follow a learning and assessment pathway, an assessment-only or recognition pathway, or a combination of the two as illustrated in the following diagram.

Learning and Assessment Pathways

Assessment Only or Recognition of Prior Learning Pathways

Units of Competency

Statement of Attainment and/or qualification under

the Australian Qualifications

Framework

Each of these assessment pathways leads to full recognition of competencies held – the critical issue is that the candidate is competent, not how the competency was acquired. Assessment, by any pathway, must comply with the assessment requirements set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Learning and Assessment Pathways Usually, learning and assessment are integrated, with assessment evidence being collected and feedback provided to the candidate at anytime throughout the learning and assessment process. Learning and assessment pathways may include structured programs in a variety of contexts using a range of strategies to meet different learner needs. Structured learning and assessment



programs could be: group-based, work-based, project-based, self-paced, action learning-based; conducted by distance or e-learning; and/or involve practice and experience in the workplace. Learning and assessment pathways to suit New Apprenticeships have a mix of formal structured training and structured workplace experience with formative assessment activities through which candidates can acquire and demonstrate skills and knowledge from the relevant units of competency. Assessment-Only or Recognition of Prior Learning Pathway Competencies already held by individuals can be formally assessed against the units of competency in this Training Package, and should be recognised regardless of how, when or where they were achieved. In an assessment-only or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, the candidate provides current, quality evidence of their competency against the relevant unit of competency. This process may be directed by the candidate and verified by the assessor, such as in the compilation of portfolios; or directed by the assessor, such as through observation of workplace performance and skills application, and oral and/or written assessment. Where the outcomes of this process indicate that the candidate is competent, structured training is not required. The RPL requirements of Standard 8.2 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations must be met. As with all assessment, the assessor must be confident that the evidence indicates that the candidate is currently competent against the endorsed unit of competency. This evidence may take a variety of forms and might include certification, references from past employers, testimonials from clients, and work samples. The onus is on candidates to provide sufficient evidence to satisfy assessors that they currently hold the relevant competencies. In judging evidence, the assessor must ensure that the evidence of prior learning is: • authentic (the candidate’s own work); • valid (directly related to the current version of the relevant endorsed unit of

competency); • reliable (shows that the candidate consistently meets the endorsed unit of competency); • current (reflects the candidate’s current capacity to perform the aspect of the work

covered by the endorsed unit of competency); and • sufficient (covers the full range of elements in the relevant unit of competency and

addresses the four dimensions of competency, namely task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills, and job/role environment skills).

The assessment only or recognition of prior learning pathway is likely to be most appropriate in the following scenarios: • candidates enrolling in qualifications who want recognition for prior learning or

current competencies; • existing workers; • individuals with overseas qualifications; • recent migrants with established work histories; • people returning to the workplace; and • people with disabilities or injuries requiring a change in career.



Combination of Pathways Where candidates for assessment have gained competencies through work and life experience and gaps in their competence are identified, or where they require training in new areas, a combination of pathways may be appropriate. In such situations, the candidate may undertake an initial assessment to determine their current competency. Once current competency is identified, a structured learning and assessment program ensures that the candidate acquires the required additional competencies identified as gaps.

Assessor Requirements

This section identifies the mandatory competencies for assessors, and clarifies how others may contribute to the assessment process where one person alone does not hold all the required competencies. Assessor Competencies The Standards for Registered Training Organisations specify mandatory competency requirements for assessors. For information, Standard 7.3 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations follows:

7.3 a The RTO must ensure that assessments are conducted by a person who has: i the following competencies2 from the Training Package for Assessment and Workplace Training, or demonstrated equivalent competencies: a TAAASS401A Plan and organise assessment; b TAAASS402A Assess competence; c TAAASS404A Participate in assessment validation; ii relevant vocational competencies, at least to the level being assessed.

b However, if a person does not have all of the competencies in Standards 7.3 a (i) and the vocational competencies as defined in 7.3 a (ii), one person with the competencies listed in Standard 7.3 a (i), and one or more persons who have the competencies listed in Standard 7.3 a (ii) may work together to conduct assessments.

Designing Assessment Tools

This section provides an overview on the use and development of assessment tools. Use of Assessment Tools Assessment tools provide a means of collecting the evidence that assessors use in making judgements about whether candidates have achieved competency. 2 A person who holds the competencies BSZ401A Plan assessment, BSZ402A Conduct assessment, and BSZ403A Review assessment from the Training Package for Assessment and Workplace Training will be accepted for the purposes of this standard. A person who has demonstrated equivalent competencies to BSZ401A and BSZ402A and BSZ403A in the period up to 12 months following publication of the Training and Assessment Training Package will also be accepted for the purposes of this standard.



There is no set format or process for the design, production or development of assessment tools. Assessors may use prepared assessment tools, such as those specifically developed to support this Training Package, or they may develop their own. Using Prepared Assessment Tools If using prepared assessment tools, assessors should ensure these are benchmarked, or mapped, against the current version of the relevant unit of competency. This can be done by checking that the materials are listed on the National Training Information Service (http://www.ntis.gov.au). Materials on the list have been noted by the National Training Quality Council as meeting their quality criteria for Training Package support materials. Developing Assessment Tools When developing their own assessment tools, assessors must ensure that the tools: • are benchmarked against the relevant unit or units of competency; • are reviewed as part of the validation of assessment strategies as required under 9.2i of

the Standards for Registered Training Organisations; and • meet the assessment requirements expressed in the Standards for Registered Training

Organisations, particularly Standards 8 and 9. A key reference for assessors developing assessment tools is TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package and the unit of competency TAAASS403A Develop Assessment Tools.

Conducting Assessment

This section details the mandatory assessment requirements and provides information on equity in assessment including reasonable adjustment. Mandatory Assessment Requirements Assessments must meet the criteria set out in Standard 8 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. For information, Standard 8 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations is reproduced below.



8. RTO Assessments The RTO’s assessments meet the requirements of the endorsed components of Training Packages and the outcomes specified in accredited courses within the scope of its registration.

8.1. The RTO must ensure that assessments (including RPL):

i. comply with the assessment guidelines included in the applicable nationally endorsed Training Packages or the assessment requirements specified in accredited courses;

ii. lead to the issuing of a statement of attainment or qualification under the AQF when a person is assessed as competent against nationally endorsed unit(s) of competency in the applicable Training Package or modules specified in the applicable accredited course;

iii. are valid, reliable, fair and flexible; iv. provide for applicants to be informed of the context and purpose of the

assessment and the assessment process; v. where relevant, focus on the application of knowledge and skill to the

standard of performance required in the workplace and cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills;

vi. involve the evaluation of sufficient evidence to enable judgements to be made about whether competency has been attained;

vii. provide for feedback to the applicant about the outcomes of the assessment process and guidance on future options in relation to those outcomes;

viii. are equitable for all persons, taking account of individual needs relevant to the assessment; and

ix. provide for reassessment on appeal. 8.2. a The RTO must ensure RPL is offered to all applicants on enrolment. b The RTO must have an RPL process that:

i. is structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants; and ii. provides adequate information, support and opportunities for participants

to engage in the RPL process.



Delivery and assessment of Employability Skills

Employability Skills are integral to workplace competency and, as such, must be considered in the design, customisation, delivery and assessment of vocational education and training programs in an integrated and holistic way, as represented diagrammatically below.

Training providers must analyse the Employability Skills information contained in units of competency in order to design valid and reliable learning and assessment strategies. This analysis includes:

• reviewing unit(s) of competency to determine how each relevant Employability Skill is found and applied within the unit

• analysing the Employability Skills Summary for the qualification in which the unit(s) is/are packaged to help clarify relevant industry/workplace contexts with regard to the application of Employability Skills at that qualification level

• designing learning and assessment activities that address the Employability Skills requirements.

Overview of the Civil Construction Industry

The Civil Construction Industry is primarily engaged in civil engineering work on infrastructure related projects covering such diverse fields as roads & subdivisions, bridgeworks, railways, harbours, sewerage and drainage, electrical infrastructure, pipelines and recreation works.

In November 2001(1), 711800 people were employed in the building and construction industry. Of these, 609 600 were full-time and 102 100 part time; 274 200 were employed in general construction and 437 600 in construction trade services. Of this latter group, it is estimated that over half will benefit from the coverage offered by this Civil Construction training package.

Employer representation in the industry is provided by a limited number of general or reasonably broadly based peak employer and industry associations and a further group of narrowly focussed associations. The major general associations, covering more than one trade or sector include:

• Australian Contractors Association (mainly for large firms)

• Civil Contractors Federation (all size firms).

A significant factor and influence on the vocational education and training of the industry is the fact that firms of five (5) or less employees constitute some 94 per cent of all civil contractor businesses.

Union representation and coverage is, in the main, provided by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) and the Australian Workers Union (AWU).

In economic terms, engineering construction work in 2000-2001 accounted for not less than $20 000 millions and contributed some 2.4 per cent of Australia’s gross domestic product. Key functional areas in that year may be gauged by the following values (expressed in $millions):

• Australian Contractors Association (mainly for large firms) • Roads and subdivisions 5266 • Electrical infrastructure 3002 • Recreation works 1011 • Sewerage and drainage 978 • Railways 608 • Bridgework 332 • Pipelines 290 • Harbours 199

The industry future is likely to be markedly influenced by technology enhancements which are increasing the range of multiple function equipments and reducing the degree of functional separation and speciality. Combinations and merging of functions is likely to bring into question traditional work organisation models. This situation may be further complicated if the recent trend in outsourcing government work effort to private enterprises continues into the future. These trends and influences on the industry’s vocational education and training requirements will need to be monitored if the package is to retain its currency and relevance.



Assessment in the Civil Construction Industry The Civil Construction Industry places premium on skills and knowledge that can be demonstrated in a real workplace environment. Whilst assessment of some of the Unit(s) of Competency in the Civil Construction Training Package can be carried out in a simulated work environment, the industry strongly recommends that assessment is conducted in the workplace, wherever possible.

Assessment of competency requires the collection of evidence and this should be conducted over a period of time. This assessment approach may include demonstration at the workplace and/or a simulated work environment to ensure that the demonstration of competency is valid and reliable. The individual being assessed needs to be aware that the collection of evidence is ongoing and needs to be part of the planning, conduct and review of the assessment process.

Supporting Integrated Training Delivery and Assessment As a general principle, the Civil Construction Industry supports the integration of Unit(s) of Competency for assessment, where practical, as this reflects real work practices.

An integrated approach to assessment brings together a number of Unit(s) of Competency, which reflect actual workplace requirements. For example, an employee working on a construction work site would complete a number of interrelated functions and occupational, health and safety tasks together, not simply one individual task at a time. An integrated assessment activity would be designed to collect evidence for a number of units together rather than designing one assessment activity for each individual element of performance criteria.

Where both training and assessment are required the industry supports an approach which provides for off-the-job training combined with assessment of the application of skills and knowledge in a real work situation.

The Civil Construction Training Package defines on-the-job assessment as that assessment which occurs in the workplace as part of the normal operation of the business.

The Civil Construction Training Package defines off-the-job assessment as that which occurs away from the normal operation of the business including, for example, assessment which may occur in the workplace but not under normal industry working conditions. The industry considers it important that candidates should have the opportunity to develop competency in structured learning programs which includes assessing in the workplace whenever possible.

It would be expected that where an integrated competency assessment approach is implemented that several integrated competency assessments would be necessary to cover the breadth and complexity of the qualification, at Certificates II and III.

The context of the assessment, the role of the candidate and the complexity of the task will influence how many Unit(s) of Competency will be integrated.



Introduction to the Civil Construction Training Package The Civil Construction Training Package sets out the competencies required for people who are employed within the Civil Construction Industry. The scope of coverage includes new entrants, including labour market entrants, and the existing Civil Construction Sector workforce. Qualifications for the Civil Construction Industry range from Certificate II to Certificate III level.

The requirements for each qualification are set out in the Qualifications Framework which form part of the endorsed components of the Civil Construction Training Package.

Expectations of RTO Roles and Responsibilities Civil Construction Industry participants in the development of this Training Package have identified their expectations in relation to the roles and responsibilities of Registered Training Organisations who will deliver and assess against the Unit(s) of Competency and the Qualifications in this package. These expectations are listed below:

• ensure the quality of the delivery and assessment

• ensure trainers have relevant industry experience, that is, actual workplace experience within the last two years in the competency area being delivered

• ensure these Assessment Guidelines are used as the basis for assessing against the Unit(s) of Competency and qualifications in this Training Package

• provide comprehensive and accessible advice to employers and learners on their responsibilities and rights

• ensure assessors have the appropriate qualifications and experience as set out in Section 8.3 of these Assessment Guidelines

• ensure processes for industry involvement in consultation and validation of assessment

Assessment Pathways The Civil Construction Training Package incorporates a number of assessment pathways that lead to the recognition of competencies and the issuing of a Qualification or Statement of Attainment under the AQF. These pathways are illustrated in the following diagram:

Units of Competency

Training and assessment pathways

Assessment only pathways

and/or

Statement of Attainment

and/or Qualific-

ations under the AQF



As indicated above, assessment under this Training Package leading to an AQF qualification or Statement of Attainment may follow a training and assessment pathway, an assessment only pathway, or a combination of the two. All assessments, by any pathway, must comply with the AQTF assessment requirements for RTOs (see above). Each of these assessment pathways leads to full recognition under the AQF – the critical concern is that the candidate is competent, not how the competency was required. Each of these pathways is detailed below.

Simulated Work Environment Unit(s) of Competency from the Civil Construction Training Package should wherever possible be assessed in a work environment. Where this is not possible assessment may occur in a simulated environment.

A simulated work environment may be required for the following reasons:

• The workplace may not use the relevant skill, equipment or process.

• Conducting assessments may be disruptive or interfere with work requirements. For example, there may be ethical, privacy or confidentiality issues to consider.

It may not be appropriate to apply the skills in the workplace due to potential risks such as health and safety or equipment being damaged. Access & Equity An individual's access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in this Training Package. Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context that meet the individual needs of the person with a disability, but do not change competency outcomes. Such adjustments are considered ‘reasonable’ if they do not impose an unjustifiable hardship on a training provider or employer. When assessing people with disabilities, assessors are encouraged to apply good practice assessment methods with sensitivity and flexibility.

Competency Standards What is competency?

The broad concept of industry competency concerns the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Competency requires the application of specified skills, knowledge and attitudes relevant to effective participation in an industry, industry sector or enterprise.

Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves performing individual tasks; managing a range of different tasks; responding to contingencies or breakdowns; and, dealing with the responsibilities of the workplace, including working with others. Workplace competency requires the ability to apply relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes consistently over time and in the required workplace situations and environments. In line with this concept of competency Training Packages focus on what is expected of a competent individual in the workplace as an outcome of learning, rather than focussing on the learning process itself.

Competency standards in Training Packages are determined by industry to meet identified industry skill needs. Competency standards are made up of a number of units of competency each of which describes a key function or role in a particular job function or occupation. Each unit of competency within a Training Package is linked to one or more AQF qualifications.

Contextualisation of Units of Competency by RTOs

Registered Training Organisation (RTOs) may contextualise units of competency to reflect local outcomes required. Contextualisation could involve additions or amendments to the unit of competency to suit particular delivery methods, learner profiles, specific enterprise equipment requirements, or to otherwise meet local needs. However, the integrity of the overall intended outcome of the unit of competency must be maintained.

Any contextualisation of units of competency in this endorsed Training Package must be within the bounds of the following advice. In contextualising units of competency, RTOs:

• must not remove or add to the number and content of elements and performance criteria;

• may add specific industry terminology to performance criteria where this does not distort or narrow the competency outcomes;

• may make amendments and additions to the range statement as long as such changes do not diminish the breadth of application of the competency and reduce its portability, and/or; and

• may add detail to the evidence guide in areas such as the critical aspects of evidence or resources and infrastructure required where these expand the breadth of the competency but do not limit its use.

Components of Units of Competency

The components of units of competency are summarised below, in the order in which they appear in each unit of competency.

Unit Title



The unit title is a succinct statement of the outcome of the unit of competency. Each unit of competency title is unique, both within and across Training Packages.

Unit Descriptor

The unit descriptor broadly communicates the content of the unit of competency and the skill area it addresses. Where units of competency have been contextualised from units of competency from other endorsed Training Packages, summary information is provided. There may also be a brief second paragraph that describes its relationship with other units of competency, and any licensing requirements.

Application of the Unit

This sub-section fleshes out the unit of competency’s scope, purpose and operation in different contexts, for example, by showing how it applies in the workplace.

Elements of Competency

The elements of competency are the basic building blocks of the unit of competency. They describe in terms of outcomes the significant functions and tasks that make up the competency.

Performance Criteria

The performance criteria specify the required performance in relevant tasks, roles, skills and in the applied knowledge that enables competent performance. They are usually written in passive voice. Critical terms or phrases may be written in bold italics and then defined in range statement, in the order of their appearance in the performance criteria.

Required Skills and Knowledge

The essential skills and knowledge are either identified separately or combined. Knowledge identifies what a person needs to know to perform the work in an informed and effective manner. Skills describe the application of knowledge to situations where understanding is converted into a workplace outcome.

Range Statement

The range statement provides a context for the unit of competency, describing essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment, depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. As applicable, the meanings of key terms used in the performance criteria will also be explained in the range statement.

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide is critical in assessment as it provides information to the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and assessor about how the described competency may be demonstrated. The evidence guide does this by providing a range of evidence for the assessor to make determinations, and by providing the assessment context. The evidence guide describes:

• conditions under which competency must be assessed including variables such as the assessment environment or necessary equipment;

• relationships with the assessment of any other units of competency; • suitable methodologies for conducting assessment including the potential for workplace

simulation; • resource implications, for example access to particular equipment, infrastructure or



situations; • how consistency in performance can be assessed over time, various contexts and with a

range of evidence; and • the required underpinning knowledge and skills

Employability Skills

Employability Skills statement A standard Employability Skills statement appears in each unit of competency. This statement directs trainers and assessors to consider the information contained in the Employability Skills Summary in which the unit of competency is packaged.

Employability Skills in units of competency The detail and application of Employability Skills facets will vary according to the job-role requirements of each industry. In developing Training Packages, industry stakeholders are consulted to identify appropriate facets of Employability Skills which are incorporated into the relevant units of competency and qualifications.

Employability Skills are not a discrete requirement contained in units of competency (as was the case with Key Competencies). Employability Skills are specifically expressed in the context of the work outcomes described in units of competency and will appear in elements, performance criteria, range statements and evidence guides. As a result, users of Training Packages are required to review the entire unit of competency in order to accurately determine Employability Skills requirements.

How Employability Skills relate to the Key Competencies The eight nationally agreed Employability Skills now replace the seven Key Competencies in Training Packages. Trainers and assessors who have used Training Packages prior to the introduction of Employability Skills may find the following comparison useful.

Employability Skills Mayer Key Competencies Communication Communicating ideas and information Teamwork Working with others and in teams Problem solving Solving problems

Using mathematical ideas and techniques Initiative and enterprise Planning and organising Collecting, analysing and organising

information Planning and organising activities

Self-management Learning Technology Using technology



When analysing the above table it is important to consider the relationship and natural overlap of Employability Skills. For example, using technology may involve communication skills and combine the understanding of mathematical concepts.

Explicitly embedding Employability Skills in units of competency This Training Package seeks to ensure that industry-endorsed Employability Skills are explicitly embedded in units of competency. The application of each skill and the level of detail included in each part of the unit will vary according to industry requirements and the nature of the unit of competency.

Employability Skills must be both explicit and embedded within units of competency. This means that Employability Skills will be:

• embedded in units of competency as part of the other performance requirements that make up the competency as a whole

• explicitly described within units of competency to enable Training Packages users to identify accurately the performance requirements of each unit with regards to Employability Skills.

This Training Package also seeks to ensure that Employability Skills are well-defined and written into units of competency so that they are apparent, clear and can be delivered and assessed as an essential component of unit work outcomes.

The following table contains examples of embedded Employability Skills for each component of a unit of competency. Please note that in the examples below the bracketed skills are provided only for clarification and will not be present in units of competency within this Training Package.

Unit component Example of embedded Employability Skill

Unit title Give formal presentations and take part in meetings (communication)

Unit descriptor This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to promote the use and implementation of innovative work practices to effect change (initiative and enterprise)

Element Proactively resolve issues. (problem solving)

Performance criteria

Information is organised in a format suitable for analysis and dissemination in accordance with organisational requirements (planning and organising)

Range statement

Software applications may include email, internet, word processing, spreadsheet, database or accounting packages (technology)

Required skills and knowledge

Modify activities depending on differing workplace contexts, risk situations and environments (learning)

Work collaboratively with others during a fire emergency (teamwork)

Instructions, procedures and other information relevant the maintenance of vessel and port security (communication)

Evidence guide Evidence of having worked constructively with a wide range of community groups and stakeholders to solve problems and adapt or



design new solutions to meet identified needs in crime prevention. In particular, evidence must be obtained on the ability to:

• assess response options to identified crime-prevention needs and determine the optimal action to be implemented

• in consultation with relevant others, design an initiative to address identified issues (initiative and enterprise).

Incorporating Employability Skills into learning and assessment strategies

Employability Skills are an integral part of competency. Units of competency have been developed to ensure relevant Employability Skills facets have been embedded within competency components rather than ‘bolted on’. This approach more accurately describes Employability Skills within the context of work outcomes.

Trainers and assessors are required to analyse and ‘unpack’ each unit of competency to develop learning and assessment strategies that include the application of Employability Skills. This includes implementing learning and assessment strategies that meet learners’ needs and reflect industry requirements.

Civil Construction Industry Competency Units

Competency Units

There are one hundred and thirty six (136) Civil Construction Industry Units of Competency in this Package. These are listed on page 113 and detailed in the third part of this Package.

Competency Unit Format

The CTA Board established the competency unit format which was accepted as being relevant to all Sectors. This format complies with ANTA requirements and adopts the following additional criteria.

(1) The focus and coverage of the unit is clarified within the range statement with the use of the terms ..is to, …are to, and … may.

(2) The critical aspects provide guidance on the minimum outcomes required to satisfy and achieve the competency; and

(3) The skills underpinning coverage is combined with employability skills and anchored against the national key competencies to avoid repetition or ambiguity.

Competency Unit Numbering System

The CTA Board established a revised unit numbering system which reflects the sub-sector specialities and the indicative Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) level of each unit. The unit code contains ten (10) digits eg BCCPO3001A where;

• BCC – is the three digit industry code for Building and Construction Civil Construction • PO – is the sub-sector code or stream, in this case Plant Operations (see others below) • 3 – is the indicative AQF level • 001 – is the consecutive unit number within the sub-sector and AQF level • A – is the edition of the unit Sub-Sector codes (or Streams) for the Civil Construction Training Package are as follows: • BM – Bridge Construction and Maintenance • BS – Bituminous Surfacing



• CM – Common units, common to two or more Sub-sectors • FW – Foundation Work • PL – Pipe Laying • PO – Plant Operations • RC – Road Construction and Maintenance • RM – Road Marking • TB – Timber Bridge Construction and Maintenance • TC – Tunnel Construction • TT – Trenchless Technology.

Incorporation of Other Units

In accordance with the SAC/NSC decisions, the use of cross-industry units, particularly from Forestry, Mining, Drilling, Transport and Distribution, Building Services and other Building and Construction Training Packages, is required/encouraged in a number of qualifications. Access to the imported units nominated on page 3 and in individual qualification structures is to be through the NTIS website. They are not contained in this Package as their currency cannot be assured.

Mapping of Packages BCC98 to BCC03

Qualifications The mapping of qualifications between BCC98 and BCC03 is shown in Appendix 1. The key features are that the number of qualifications has expanded from ten (10) to thirteen (13) to cater for changing industry profiles. Certificate 1 has been omitted by unanimous decision of the Steering Committee because of safety and related business concerns.

Competency Units

The mapping of competency units between BCC98 and BCC03 is shown in Appendix 2. The number of units has been increased from approximately ninety (90) to some 120 to cater for industry profile changes. All units conform with the revised format which is a significant change from the BCC98 model.

Mapping of Bridging Qualifications and Units BCC98 to BCC03. The Bridge Construction and Maintenance qualification covered both concrete and timber bridges. The scope was too broad and therefore unachievable. This qualification was never used and therefore formal mapping of specialist units is not required. Individual unit mapping of the generic competencies is covered in the existing BCC98 – BCC03 Mapping”.

Notes:

(1) Certificate I in Construction: Omitted from 2003 Training Package due to poor uptake by Schools and the safety concerns with students attempting some competencies, such as plant operations.

(2) Certificate II in Civil Construction (Bituminous Surfacing): A new Civil Construction qualification of bituminous surfacing has been identified which articulates into an AQF III qualification. This stream was seen as required as a specialty pathway requiring a discreet qualification in three sub-specialties.

(3) Certificate III in Civil Construction (Railway Construction and Maintenance): At this stage, Railway construction and maintenance has not been included in the 2003 Training Package. It has been identified as an outstanding issue which is to be reviewed.

(4) Certificate III in Civil Construction: This is a new qualification which provides a general qualification in Civil Construction, rather than a specialist. As such, it subsumes a number of pathways and permits the selection of greater numbers of civil construction elective units to match changing technology and emerging work organisation models, improving employability and efficiency within the industry.

(5) Certificate III in Civil Construction (Bituminous Surfacing): As indicated at (2) above, this is part of a new stream of Civil Construction qualification to meet industry needs and individual skill requirements.

(6) Certificate III in Civil Construction (Trenchless Technology): This is a new qualification to satisfy an increasing growth in this area of Civil Construction.
