VET Qualifications

Construction Induction, National OHS White Card - (CPCCWHS1001):

The National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007) requires completion of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry also known as the White Card. This is a core competency for Certificate I Construction, however, it must not be delivered at the college level.

The unit of competency also relates directly to the competency CPCCOHS2001A Apply OHS requirements, policies and procedures in Certificate II Construction Pathways. Successful completion of this competency is required to enter a construction worksite.

The Training Package identifies that licensing arrangements for training apply and that the regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction must be met. The ACT Office of Regulatory Services (ORS) registers RTOs for delivery of the White Card. For a listing of ORS authorised RTOs in the ACT for Construction Induction Training Refer to the Worksafe ACT website: http://www.worksafe.act.gov.au/page/view/1832/title/rtos-for-construction-induction-training

Once a Statement of Attainment is achieved for this competency it will be recognised by the BSSS through credit transfer arrangements.

CPC10111 Certificate I in ConstructionTo achieve this qualification, 11 units of competency must be completed:

8 core units (group 1) including:

o CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry (delivered by an external

ORS authorised RTO

3 elective units (group 2)

1 (0.5) Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) Unit is highly recommended

“ The construction industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or very closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered in this context. A substantial period of work placement (SWL) is recommended to ensure the unit outcomes are met. (from CPC10111)”

Note: Asbestos awareness program (Element of CPCCOHS2001A) is an essential focus area.

This group gratefully acknowledges the work of previous developers.

Evaluation of Previous CourseThe previous course was implemented across three colleges. Students have reported that the course gave them a solid foundation in construction practices and in the specialty areas offered: carpentry and bricklaying and blocklaying. The course gave students the opportunity to train at their own college and sign up as an ASBA or make links to employers through structured workplace learning placements which prepared them for apprenticeship or labouring opportunities.

The interest from other ACT colleges in the Construction Pathways course has meant that two new colleges are likely to adopt the course and additional/new specialisations.

This course has been redeveloped to implement the new CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Integrated Framework (6.1) and the Industrial Trades Technology Course Framework 2010.

The course developers have made minor changes to the previous course. These changes are primarily focused on continuous improvement. The main change is the addition of elective choices from areas of trade skills which will provide an introduction to a wider range of construction occupations. The course continues to include the mandatory national OHS Site Induction training (CPCCWHS1001). Flexible structured workplace learning units allow students to experience a variety of different placements or a more extended period with one employer in a specialised trade area.

Colleges will need to develop partnership arrangements with CIT or other RTOs to deliver:

National Induction Card training - CPCCWHS1001

specialised training for CPCCCM2010B Work safely at heights, which requires licensing arrangements and safety equipment; and

13


a customised short course to cover those additional tools and equipment that schools are restricted from using by OHS requirements e.g. air guns, nail guns, etc. (CPCCCM2005B – Use construction tools and equipment)

The National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007) requires successful completion of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry also known as the White Card before a student may enter a construction worksite. See also page 5 for details.

Prerequisites for the course or units within the courseAll students must complete the National OHS Induction Card Training prior to undertaking Structured Workplace Learning on a construction site.

14


Arrangements for students who are continuing to study a course in this subjectStudents must undertake BSSS units not previously studied. In most colleges that run separate year 11 and 12 classes the units will be Construction Pathways – Carpentry (1.0) and Construction Pathways – Bricklaying (1.0).

Colleges scoped to deliver and assess the vocational qualifications will need to map current students across to the new qualifications. This may require the collection of additional assessment evidence where there is a significant change at the Unit of Competence level. A mapping document has been developed by the BSSS using the new Training Package CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Integrated Framework to assist in the transition process.

Units from other courses: There are no units from other courses that can contribute to this course.

Subject RationaleCourses developed under the Industrial Technology Trades Course Framework are intended to meet the needs of students who have a general interest in industrial technology trades as well as those intending to choose a career pathway into traditional trades and related service industries.

Australia is currently experiencing a skills shortage in traditional trade areas. There is also an increasing demand in Australia and elsewhere for people able to assume highly skilled roles in areas deploying rapidly developing technologies. There is a need for more highly trained new workers and up-skilling of existing workers in the manufacturing and service industries as the levels of newer technologies are increased. For example, there are new materials and techniques in the building industry. Everybody is affected to some degree by the need to understand and effectively use advancing technology in the workshop, the construction site, the factory, office, home or farm.

This course provides opportunities for students to develop relevant technical, vocational and interpersonal competencies suitable for employment and further training. They can also develop skills, knowledge and experiences - such as teamwork, communication and occupational health and safety- that are transferable to other industries.

The range of skills and knowledge in the manufacturing and service industries has increased and will continue to increase. New technologies are constantly replacing recent ones so there is a great need for people involved at any level in the production or use of them to be adaptable. Students and workers need to be able to acquire knowledge quickly and to develop and apply new skills effectively. These skills are transferable so can be used across a wide range of trades and industries. It is also important to maintain traditional skills and attitudes used with older technologies where they underpin and support the newer technologies.

There is an increasing tendency for workers to have several career changes during their lifetime and there are pressures on people to extend their working lives. These changes require retraining that may be funded by industry, but is very often the responsibility of the individual. It is therefore valuable for people to have an education that includes Industrial Technology at the senior secondary level. This could provide them with the best possible base for lifelong learning and for pursuing relevant career choices.

Qualifications pathways in CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

17


GoalsThis course should enable students to:

Understand the concepts, techniques, terminology and content appropriate to the industry focus of the course

Demonstrate employment related practical skills and workplace best practice Demonstrate problem solving ability incorporating evaluation techniques and skills Relate basic numeracy and scientific principles to practical applications Demonstrate oral, written and graphical communication skills Work independently and collaboratively in accordance with occupational health and safety

principles and industry standards Demonstrate an awareness of existing and emerging technologies and career pathways

Student GroupThis course is designed for students interested in the building and construction industry. It focuses on the fundamental skills and underpinning knowledge to pursue further training and work in a range of construction trade areas.

Content

Essential conceptsThe essential concepts and content of this course is guided by the industry endorsed Training Package, CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Integrated Framework.

Essential skills Industry specific skills such as fine motor and physical Literacy such as reading, comprehension, writing Communication including written, oral and visual Numeracy such as costing, quantities, measurement, time, mathematical techniques Problem solving such as collecting, organising and analysing Teamwork such as sharing, defining roles and responsibilities, recognising and responding to

individual’s strengths and weaknesses Planning and organising Ability to work safely Ability to work independently

18


Teaching and Learning StrategiesTeaching strategies that are particularly relevant and effective in Industrial Trades Technology include:

In-class exercises and class discussions Quizzes Individual and group demonstrations Individual tutorials Regular and meaningful feedback Open-ended design tasks Research assignments Experimentation with materials and processes Use of information and communication technologies Questionnaires Practical projects Industry visits Guest speakers Work placements Establishing industry links with individuals or groups

Duplication of Content RulesThe responsibility for preventing undesirable overlap of content studied by a student rests with the principal and the teacher delivering the course. While it is acceptable for a student to be given the opportunity to demonstrate competence over more than one semester, substantial overlap of content is not permitted. Students will only be given credit for covering the content once.

19


AssessmentThe assessment task types (with examples of tasks) and assessment criteria provide a common and agreed basis for the collection of evidence of student achievement. This collection of evidence enables a comparison of achievement within and across colleges, through moderation processes. This enables valid, fair and equitable reporting of student achievement on the Year 12 Certificate.

Assessment tasks elicit responses that demonstrate the degree to which students have achieved the goals of a unit (and the course as a whole).

Additional Assessment Advice

Assessments will involve aspects of problem solving and OHS.

The Board recommends 3 - 5 assessment items per standard unit (1.0) or 2 - 3 per half standard unit (0.5). Units of competency must be assessed in accordance with the rules for assessment within the relevant Training Package.

Assessment Criteria

Students will be assessed on the degree to which they demonstrate: Industry specific skills Understanding and application of knowledge Understanding and use of Occupation Heath and Safety procedures Communication skills

Award of unit grades and scores: Refer to page 20Reasonable adjustments to assessment for students with a disability

It is important that education providers take meaningful, transparent and reasonable steps to consult, consider and implement reasonable adjustments for students with disability.

Under the Disability Standards for Education 2005, education providers must make reasonable adjustments for people with disability to the maximum extent that those adjustments do not cause that provider unjustifiable hardship. While "reasonable adjustment" and "unjustifiable hardship" are different concepts and involve different considerations, they both seek to strike a balance between the interests of education providers and the interests of students with and without disability.

Note that standards of competency as dictated by National Training Packages cannot be modified. Students must demonstrate competence to the level required by industry in order to gain a Statement of Attainment or Vocational Certificate.

An adjustment is any measure or action that a student requires because of their disability, and which has the effect of assisting the student to access and participate in education and training on the same basis as students without a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it achieves this purpose while taking into account factors, such as the nature of the student’s disability, the views of the student, the potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others who might be affected, and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment.

An education provider is also entitled to maintain the academic integrity of a course or program and to consider the requirements or components that are inherent or essential to its nature when assessing whether an adjustment is reasonable. There may be more than one adjustment that is reasonable in a given set of circumstances; education providers are required to make adjustments that are reasonable and that do not cause them unjustifiable hardship.

See Part 4, Chapter 2 of the Training Package Development Handbook (DEST, September 2007) for more information on reasonable adjustment, including examples of adjustments.

Competency Based AssessmentThe assessment of competence must focus on the competency standards and the associated elements as identified in the Training Package. Assessors must develop assessment strategies that enable them to obtain sufficient evidence to deem students competent. This evidence must be gathered over a number of assessment items. Competence to industry standard requires a student to be able to demonstrate the relevant skills and knowledge in a variety of industry contexts on repeated occasions. Assessment must be designed to collect evidence against the four dimensions of competency.

Task skills – undertaking specific work place task(s)

Task management skills – managing a number of different tasks to complete a whole work activity

Contingency management skills – responding to problems and irregularities when undertaking a work activity, such as: breakdowns, changes in routine, unexpected or atypical results, difficult or dissatisfied clients

Job/role environment skills – dealing with the responsibilities and expectations of the work environment when undertaking a work activity, such as: working with others, interacting with clients and suppliers, complying with standard operating procedures or observing enterprise policy and procedures.

The most appropriate method of assessing workplace competence is on-the-job in an industry setting under normal working conditions. This includes using industry standard tools, equipment and job aids and working with trade colleagues. Where this is not available, a simulated workplace environment that mirrors the industry setting will be used. The following general principles and strategies apply:

assessment is competency based assessment is criterion-referenced

This course has been designed for: flexible delivery modes, such as combined structured workplace learning and simulated

workplace; and assessment of learners against workplace competency standards.

Quality outcomes can only be assured through the assessment process. The strategy for assessment is based on an integration of the workplace competencies for the learning modules into an holistic activity. The awarding of vocational qualifications is dependent on successful demonstration of the learning outcomes within the modules through the Integrated Competency Assessment that meets the Training Package rules and requirements.

The integrated assessment activity will require the learner to: demonstrate the appropriate key competencies, apply the skills and knowledge which underpin the process required to demonstrate competency

in the workplace, integrate the most critical aspects of the modules for which workplace competency must be

demonstratedIt will also provide evidence for grades and/or scores for the Board course component of the assessment process in A/V or T/V courses.

22


Structured Workplace Learning: AssessmentStructured Workplace Learning is the workplace component of a nationally recognised industry specific VET in Schools program. It provides supervised learning activities contributing to an assessment of competence, and achievement of outcomes and requirements of a particular Training Package. (Please refer to BSSS Policies and Procedures Manual for Board policy on SWL)

Students must be able to demonstrate identified competencies in SWL units with direct reference to elements of competence and required skills and knowledge from the relevant Training Package. Assessment of SWL units is competency based and reliant on the gathering of sufficient evidence from a student’s work placement. Students will be awarded a grade Pass or Participated in the SWL unit (refer section 4.3.6.3 Unit Grades – BSSS Policies and Procedures Manual).

Recognition of Prior LearningRPL is an assessment process that assesses an individual’s formal, non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved the required learning outcomes, competence outcomes, or standards for entry to, and/or partial or total completion of, a VET qualification. Recognition of competence through the RPL process should be granted to students through gathering supplementary evidence against elements, skills and knowledge from the Training Package as well as through established assessment criteria. RPL may be granted for individual Units of Competence where the evidence is sufficient to do so.A student having been granted RPL for one or more Units of Competence will still be required to fulfill the time based component of units. To cater for this requirement, curriculum designers should design the course to be flexible enough to accommodate students who have gained some competencies through RPL.

Full records of the RPL process and results must be stored by the college for perusal by the National VET Regulator in the event of an audit or should confirmation be required for VET certification.

Credit TransferCredit transfer is the recognition of any vocational competencies, statements of attainment or qualifications achieved by the student and certificated by a NVR registered training organisation. Any such competencies that relate directly to qualifications offered in this course will be recognized by the BSSS on production of appropriate certification from the NRV registered training organisation.

Student Capabilities

Creative and Critical Thinkers

Students will be encouraged to think creatively and critically in solving higher level conceptual problems in assessment items, e.g. through work on assessment of processes and procedures as they should be applied in different construction contexts.

Enterprising Problem-solvers

Students will be given opportunities to develop problem-solving skills through extension activities in practical work.

23


Skilled and Empathetic Communicators

Students will be required to understand technical information and communicate using the technical language relevant to the construction industry. They will have opportunities to communicate with a range of construction trades people as they undertake Structured Workplace Learning placements.

Informed and Ethical Decision-makers

Students will be encouraged to make decisions after discussion and research into topics such as the use of recycled and renewable construction materials and the safe removal, disposal and treatment of waste products.

Environmentally and Culturally Aware Citizens

Students will be encouraged to be aware of environmental issues such as pollutants, disposal of oils and other chemicals, emissions. Recycling, renewable resources and other environmental topics will be discussed in class.

Confident and Capable Users of Technologies

Students will be exposed to technologies through work with computers in class and with machinery in the workshop. They will also be required to use computers for research and assignments.

Independent and Self-managing Learners

Self direction will be promoted to students, and opportunities will be provided for students to research topics of their own interest in construction fields.

Collaborative Team Members

Teamwork and sharing of resources will be encouraged, and students will be required to work on some projects as a group.

Unit GradesAchievement Standards

Grade descriptors provide a guide for teacher judgement of students’ achievement, based on the assessment criteria, over a unit of work in this subject. Grades are organised on an A-E basis and represent standards of achievement.

Grades are awarded on the proviso that the assessment requirements have been met. When allocating grades, teachers will consider the degree to which students demonstrate their ability to complete and submit tasks within a specified time frame.

24


ModerationModeration is a system designed and implemented to:

provide comparability in the system of school-based assessment form the basis for valid and reliable assessment in senior secondary schools involve the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies and colleges in cooperation and partnership maintain the quality of school-based assessment and the credibility, validity and acceptability of

Board certificates.

Moderation commences within individual colleges. Teachers develop assessment programs and instruments, apply assessment criteria, and allocate Unit Grades, according to the relevant Course Framework. Teachers within course teaching groups conduct consensus discussions to moderate marking or grading of individual assessment instruments and unit grade decisions.

The Moderation ModelModeration within the ACT encompasses structured, consensus-based peer review of Unit Grades for all accredited courses, as well as statistical moderation of course scores, including small group procedures, for ‘T’ courses.

Moderation by Structured, Consensus-based Peer ReviewReview is a subcategory of moderation, comprising the review of standards and the validation of Unit Grades. In the review process, Unit Grades, determined for Year 11 and Year 12 student assessment portfolios that have been assessed in schools by teachers under accredited courses, are moderated by peer review against system wide criteria and standards. This is done by matching student performance with the criteria and standards outlined in the unit grade descriptors as stated in the Course Framework. Advice is then given to colleges to assist teachers with, and/or reassure them on, their judgements.

Preparation for Structured, Consensus-based Peer ReviewEach year, teachers teaching a Year 11 class are asked to retain originals or copies of student work completed in Semester 2. Similarly, teachers teaching a Year 12 class should retain originals or copies of student work completed in Semester 1. Assessment and other documentation required by the Office of the Board of Senior Secondary Studies should also be kept. Year 11 work from Semester 2 of the previous year is presented for review at Moderation Day 1 in March, and Year 12 work from Semester 1 is presented for review at Moderation Day 2 in August.

In the lead up to Moderation Day, a College Course Presentation (comprised of a document folder and a set of student portfolios) is prepared for each A and T course as well as any M units offered by the school, and is sent in to the Office of the Board of Senior Secondary Studies.

Teachers of C courses are required to present portfolios of student work for verification that units are taught and assessed as documented and validation that assessments meet industry standards. The Moderation Officer will report any concerns to the Board.

The College Course PresentationThe package of materials (College Course Presentation) presented by a college for review on moderation days in each course area will comprise the following:

a folder containing supporting documentation as requested by the Office of the Board through memoranda to colleges

25


a set of student portfolios containing marked and/or graded written and non-written assessment responses on which the unit grade decision has been made is to be included in the student review portfolios.

Specific requirements for subject areas and types of evidence to be presented for each Moderation Day will be outlined by the Board Secretariat through memoranda and Information Papers.
