PreambleThe development of a model for the provision of RPL and gap training in the construction industry in NSW has been initiated by the Council of Australian Governments’ (COAG) 2006 decision to increase the provision of skills and recognition for existing workers.
In February 2006 COAG established an action plan which aimed to achieve maximum flexibility in training for employers and individuals.
COAG Skills Express Construction Industry Partnership Project (SCIP Project) began its operations in early 2007. This project was managed by TAFE NSW Western Sydney Institute.
The core objective was to create a sustainable and efficient model for delivering recognition and gap training for workers in Construction to provide them with improved employment opportunities.
The project involved:
Industry Partners and a Reference Group An identified Plan & Optimum RPL Approach Development of Validated/Assessment Tools An RPL Pilot with Employees/Workers Provision of Gap Training and Support Services Professional Development PD Support to Assessors/Others Involved An Improvement/Feedback/Review Process A Final Project Summary Report, identifying the model and possible further improvement
options/actions
This guide outlines the SCIP RPL & Gap Training Model. The model will be referred to as the Skills Express Construction Industry Partnership Model and has been tested and trialled through the SCIP Project.
The Skills Express Construction Industry Partnership Model builds upon existing recognition and gap training models which have been reviewed as part of this project.
IntroductionWhat is the aim of the kit?This kit is intended to assist assessors use the SCIP Model to provide Recognition and/or Gap Training.The kit is designed to be customised for use with individuals or groups.

This model relies on the confidence of the assessors to work with candidates to gather work pace evidence that matches the competencies in the concreting qualifications.
The first step requires that the assessors are familiar with the Units of Competence in particular the specific requirements as described in the range statement, critical aspects of evidence and critical knowledge requirements.
Assessors should also take into account the current industry requirements including higher risk areas for workers and quality risks for the products and service provided by workers.
Assessors who were involved in the development of this model have summarised the critical points for each of the competencies and also identified a number of key points that should be considered in evaluating the evidence provided by candidates. This information is contained in the Activity sheets and Evidence Record sheets
Familiarisation with Qualifications and competencies.

1. Collect the relevant forms and evidence signed and dated from the employer. Evaluation the initial evidence and start to record on the tracking sheet
2. Establish whether or not the Candidate is likely to fulfil the requirements of the qualification and advise them about the appropriate pathway – recognition or gap training
3. The SCIP Model involves generating evidence with the Candidate and the Employer/Supervisor through a collaborative process. In this Model Assessors may choose the conduct an observation first or an interview. Either way this should be planned with the Candidate and the Employer.
4. Identify an opportunity to observe, interview 3rd parties and sight work sample etc
5. Establish an Assessment Plan Prepare the Candidate for the interview by discussing: Examples of questions that will be
asked Provide material that will assist
candidates prepare such as the Flexible Learning Skills Toolbox Building Calculations and Measurements
Examples of problems and areas of knowledge they will need to refresh
Plan the observation including duration and activities to be observed
NOTE:NSW WorkCover Authority regulations require all persons intending to carry out ‘Construction Work’ to undertake a mandatory three-tiered OHS induction training. The primary responsibility for providing this compulsory induction training falls on the employer. Thus, every Candidate needs to provide evidence of OHS induction training to RTO before the Candidate can carry out construction work.
Evidence submitted by the Candidate may include:

Further Instructions on Training Record & Assessment Management System “T R A M S”
A system created by Rudi Meuwissen Head Teacher Building FinishesTAFE NSW WSI Nirimba College
TRAMS consists of 3 tools, TRAMS sheet Activity/event sheet Evidence recording sheet
TRAMS SheetWhat is a TRAMS sheet?The TRAMS sheet contains the whole qualification at a glance in a table format. It contains all the Units of Competency. It has a discreet breakdown of the Critical aspects of evidence required for each unit, set out into definable events / activities. These events / activity boxes have areas to record successful collection of evidence. The sheet has photo id on cover sheet , example of a portion of the Concrete TRAMS sheet is belowWhen all events / activities have been completed the process is complete.
The TRAMS sheet is the primary tool used to record when and what evidence gathering.Evidence can be gathered in any number of ways to satisfy the criteria set out in the activity sheets, examples include
Supervisor’s reports and references Declarations Direct observations Questioning Calculations and estimates Plan reading References Photos Previous study Simulations
When sufficient evidence has been gathered to sign off a part or parts of a competency they are marked off identifying where more evidence is needed. This is a process of elimination allowing assessors to focus on what competencies or parts of competencies remain to be assessed.

Activity Sheets
Activity sheets describe what the assessor should be looking for in each unit of competency and allow for the progressive recording of evidence. The activities define evidence gathering requirements for the TRAMS sheet activity boxes.
They are derived from interpreting the NATIONAL TRAINING PACKAGE including the Critical Evidence/Range/Scope of each Competency.
Marking off the TRAMS sheet Activity box is confirmation that the detail set out in the activity sheet has been achieved. Example of Activity sheets are shown below.
Assessors should discuss with the candidates one or two of the observations – or other forms of evidence for each activity. This is only a reference sheet and defines what should be looked for in the evidence presented by the candidate.
Every box on the TRAMS sheet that links to the activity sheet should have a tick to demonstrate that the candidate has demonstrated competence.
Each observation and evidence record is tied back to the critical aspects of evidence which have been provided in both the Activity sheet document and the Evidence Recording Sheet for reference.
Assessors will note that the same or similar activity will apply to a number of the competencies. This means that the activity or evidence can be used across a number of the competencies and assists in holistic assessment processes.BCGCM1002B - Work Effectively in Construction Industry

Evidence Recording Sheet
The evidence recording sheets are a one page brief of each unit of competency including descriptions of what critical evidence and industry requirements are required to satisfy the unit of competency.
Assessors record on the sheet how the candidate demonstrated competence including what evidence was provided and how the evidence was gathered.
The matching of the evidence with the components of competency allows for a review of the assessment.
Assessors record where the candidate has achieved the competency. The leading questions provided on the sheet are examples of the questions used. Assessors may
record other key questions used in the process.
Competency No: BCGCM1002B Competency Name: Work effectively in the General Construction Industry

The TRAMS sheet can be used to track the progress of the recognition assessment. Assessors note on the sheet the date the candidate completed the activity or presented evidence usually by oral questioning or providing photos or other digital evidence.The sheet is started at the first briefing session where candidates may complete the self assessment and present evidence of prior learning. Some knowledge questioning may also occur at the first session.
Once the plan for assessment has been completed the assessors should take out on the job the TRAMS sheet and the evidence gathering sheet. They record the date of observations for each of the activities.
The Evidence Recording Sheet is used to describe the assessment strategies that were used during the assessment and is used to ensure that all the critical aspects of evidence, industry requirements have been addressed in the assessment process.
Finally a Summary Sheet can be completed to describe the context of the assessment in the workplace and a final summary of the assessment method that was used. This was found to be useful on sites where no photo graphic evidence could be taken.
Assessor’s Roles and Responsibilities Conducts assessment in line with the Assessment Guidelines for BCG03 General Construction
(the Training Package)
Makes every effort to understand the full text of the Units of Competency being assessed
Ensures that the assessment process:
- covers all the competency standards - addresses the four dimensions of competency:
task skills task management skills contingency management skills job/role environment skills
Provides comprehensive and accessible advice to Candidates on the context, purpose and type of assessment
Ensures the assessment involves the evaluation of sufficient evidence to enable professional judgements to be made about whether or not competency has been attained
Provides ongoing feedback to the Candidate about the outcomes of the assessment process and guidance for future options including gap training
Ensures that the assessment process takes into account the skills and knowledge that the Candidate already possesses
The Assessor makes a confident judgement that the evidence generated through this process demonstrates that the Candidate is currently competent against the endorsed industry or enterprise Units of Competency.

document Establish the fitness of the Candidate to undertake the assessment by asking such
questions as: - Are you ready for the assessment? - Are you taking any prescription drugs which may impair your performance at work? - Have you taken any drugs or consumed any alcohol during the last 24 hours?
Clarify the procedures, purpose, equipment requirements, duration and methods of assessment with the Candidate
Ask the Candidate to confirm their readiness to undertake the assessment
While observing: Complete the Observation checklist and write down brief comments as the Candidate
carries out the task; If at any time the Candidate engages in an activity which you believe has the potential to
endanger themselves, property and/or others, terminate the assessment and provide feedback to the Candidate immediately.
Observation Review:It is advisable to engage the employer or their representative in this feedback discussion
Immediately after the observation: Write down additional comments about the skills, knowledge and attitudes demonstrated by
the Candidate throughout the tasks performed. You may make some notes under the following headings:
- Task skills – did the Candidate perform the task at an acceptable workplace level?- Task management skills – did the Candidate manage well the different tasks
involved in the job?- Contingency management skills – did the Candidate deal well with unexpected
problems or changes? A Candidate may perform under normal workplace routine conditions, in which case, you will not be able to observe their contingency management skills. If that is the case, ask the Candidate some hypothetical questions (if – questions). One such question could be what would you have done, if there had been a serious accident on the site?
Write down a summary of feedback in simple language so that the Candidate can understand and sign off on it.

Conducting an Interview Be certain to:
Ensure that your questioning is not limited by the written, pre-determined questions Ask open-ended questions to allow the Candidate to express themselves about various
aspects of their work experience. Encourage the Candidate to expand on their answers by asking probe questions such as:
- Clarity & Precision: What exactly do you mean? What’s an example of that?
- Accuracy: How can we check that this is accurate?
- Depth: Could you give me more details?
- Relevance: What is the main point?
Ensure that the questioning is strategic e.g. Candidates must be asked or prompted to explain, give details, describe and comment on specific, relevant aspects of their workplace.
Guide the conversation so that you obtain the most relevant detail for the units of competency you are assessing
For recorded interviews, listen to the recording afterwards and make some notes. You are not required to transcribe the entire interview.
If you are conducting a written assessment, pay particular attention to the literacy difficulties the Candidate may have. Reasonable adjustments to accommodate mild literacy difficulties may include:
Reading out the questions and jotting down the verbal answers Arranging for translation Increasing the font size Writing questions on a white board Allowing the use of calculators if that is a common workplace practice Clarifying the meaning of complex words Offering additional time for completion of a task
To identify literacy difficulties use the questionnaire in the Candidate kit along with careful observation of the way in which the Candidate reads and writes. It is important that you conduct discussions related to literacy and numeracy difficulties in the most tactful way and in a location where the Candidate’s right to privacy can be observed.

Training Package Requirements
An RTO’s relevant policies and procedures for record keeping must be adhered to. The records kept
must provide evidence of:
Management of continuous improvement Training and assessment strategies Verification of trainer and assessor competencies Management of Assessment validation Management of Complaints Issuing of qualifications Management of Feedback
Records kept must be able to:
Stand alone in the sense that these must be self – explanatory Notes must be meticulous and relevant to the requirements of the units of competency Certification methods such as signatures, dates, printed names and co-signatures must be used Document sufficient evidence to justify assessment judgement Notes must be clear and thorough to identify the event, the performance and its relevance to the
units of competency Where tick boxes are provided, additional comments must be added to substantiate assessment
decisions
The section 5 Specific Task Outcomes and Records for the SCIP model in this kit provides further information as to when the templates for Learning and Assessment as well as the assessment tools are expected to be used.

Assessment Plan and Gap Training Plan Before a Candidate is given an Assessment Plan they must be informed of the following:
The purpose and outcomes of the Recognition process The relevant units of competency on the qualification they seek Recognition for The appeals process The RTO’s policies regarding confidentiality and security of information.
This information is contained in the Candidate Kit.
Where a Candidate has not fully satisfied the requirements of the qualification or the competency requires further gap training a Gap Training Plan should be developed by simply customising the template listed below. Refer to the template entitled: Gap Training Plan.
A Gap Training Plan contains the following information:
Details of the training to be delivered (supported role rotation, set tasks conducted under supervision, completion of assigned written work, amongst a number of other options)
A list of all units of competency to be undertaken Agreed delivery (formal or informal on-the-job learning, off-the-job structured training,
mixed delivery etc) Timeframes The qualification (code and title) to be issued on completion of the training Any support requirements
Gap training may include the following activities:
On Site Tutorials – Candidates are referred to existing resources, discussions are held with Candidates to assist them further their underpinning knowledge
On Site Role rotation – Candidates, whenever practicable, team up with other co-workers to work in workplace sections most likely to provide them with the right exposure for further informal learning
On Site Mentoring – Candidates are assisted with the completion of tasks by more experienced workers
Attempts must be made to cluster the units of competency included in the Gap Training Plan. This can be achieved through the selection of a workplace activity which encompasses the critical aspects of the units in cause. This decision must be made in consultation with both the employer and the Candidate.
The Gap Training Plan must also document the Candidate’s progress and any changes to the initial agreement.

Summary of Assessment – Rigging Sample
ASSESSOR NAME
QUALIFICATION BCG30703: Certificate III in Rigging
STARTDATE
ENDDATE
CANDIDATE NAME John Smith EMPLOYER NAME Acme Builders
CONTEXT What did the Candidate do to demonstrate competence? Describe the worksite and the main work activities that the Candidate has done on this site, and were observed.
Joe Smith was working at the Acme Builders Homebush construction site as part of a team of riggers assembling a series of steel beams and columns that formed part of a portal framed annex attached to the rear of the original building. The observation included the unloading of structural steel components and the progressive assembly of the vertical columns and horizontal beams gussets and braces.
Joe was highly confident and was impressive in his preparation and communication with the 5 other team members. Joe ensured that all of the other riggers were fully informed of the project requirements and safety issues. Joe led the pre-start tool box meeting and reviewed the Safe work method statements.The rigging operations observed as part of the competency assessment were under considerable pressure to be completed by the end of the day however Joe was able to clearly demonstrate his skill as a rigger while maintaining clear communication with the client at all times and ensuring safety was not compromised.
KNOWLEDGE Describe how the Candidate demonstrated their knowledge. By confidently answering questions, demonstrations etc
During the assessment of Joes underpinning knowledge, he answered all of the questions with confidence and demonstrated a high level of technical skill. Joe clearly has considerable industry experience and knowledge in a wide range of rigging applications.
PREVIOUS WORK HISTORYWhat have they done
Joe has produced an extensive and credible resume outlining some of the major projects he has worked on

in the past?
Describe how the information provided by the Candidate shows that they have sufficient experience in the industry to support your assessment decision.
over the past 6 years. This was confirmed during the interview when he was able to provide more detail of his dogging, rigging and heavy lift projects. These details are recorded in the notes.
3rd PARTY EVIDENCEWhat the supervisors and or employers have said that supports your decision.
The supervisor had no time to complete a comprehensive written report. The supervisor was asked a number of relevant questions and the responses documented for the supervisor to read and sign. The supervisor however did provide considerable verbal confirmation of the various roles and responsibilities Joe has had on this site and on other similar projects.
The majority of the evidence provided by the supervisor was given verbally and required transcribing during the interview process. While valid, the verbal evidence provided by the supervisor will need to be heavily reinforced during the participant’s practical demonstration and underpinning knowledge assessments.
