Preliminary Information

Preliminary Information

The Electricity Supply Industry — Transmission, Distribution and Rail

The Electricity Supply Transmission and Distribution Industry conveys electricity from the generating power stations to the consumer by means of a reticulation system that includes the following component sections:

The distribution of electricity by means of overhead conductors and poles. This is usually reticulation in built up areas in both industrial/commercial and residential settings or rural settings.

The distribution of electricity by means of underground cables where installation and cable jointing are specific skills. This is usually reticulation in built up areas in both industrial/commercial and residential settings.

The transmission of electricity by means of overhead conductors suspended from towers (or larger concrete or wooden poles) at voltages substantially higher than those used for distribution

The transmission of electricity by means of underground cables that are usually oil or gas filled requiring special skills in installation and maintenance.

In addition to mainstream linework and cable jointing functions, powerline workers are being called on, in some areas, to undertake such tasks as substation installation and maintenance, specialised testing, revenue meter installation and the like. Some electrical distributors are multi-skilling their powerline personnel with additional mainstream electrical skills, such as those held by electricians.

The industry has undergone rapid changes in work methods, staffing levels, management approaches and the sub-contracting of many work functions to external contractors. The industry has always had a commitment to training and safety and is now embracing the spirit of the National Training Reform Agenda.

The main activities of the industry are installation, service, maintenance, diagnosis and repair of electrical cabling systems, apparatus and equipment in relation to:

Overhead lines (distribution)

Overhead lines (transmission)

Cable jointing

Equipment installation.

Examples of Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail sector vocations are Overhead powerline worker (distribution); Overhead powerline worker (transmission); Rail Traction Lineworker and Cable jointer.

Technological innovation in the range of work activities and the vocations involved in Electricity Supply Industry — Transmission and Distribution sector systems provide good career opportunities.

There are three specific areas that provide individuals with the chance to enter an exciting career in the Transmission and Distribution sector of the Electricity Supply Industry and gain a nationally recognised qualification.

Transmission (Powerline)

Work in the area of Electricity Transmission involves installing and maintaining towers and associated hardware as well as stringing and maintaining overhead conductors and cables. Trainees in this program will be exposed to a range of experiences, designed to give them the expertise required for a career in this sector.

Distribution (Powerline)

The distribution of electricity throughout Australia involves the installation and maintenance of underground cables, overhead conductors, associated hardware and public lighting. This program enables trainees to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for a career in power line distribution.

Rail Traction (Powerline)

The distribution of electricity used for transporting of people and goods by various types of rail traction vehicles (e.g. tram and train) involves the carrying out of construction, maintenance and inspection of overhead traction wiring systems and equipment in accordance with legislative rules and regulations.

Industry coverage

The formal industry coverage is under ANZSIC Code 3610 in which the sector is defined as consisting of units mainly engaged in the generation, transmission or distribution of electricity.

The sector has been characterised during the last few years by the privatisation of many enterprises and the out-sourcing of many functions and activities.

Notwithstanding these changes the Competency Standards in this Package cover approximately one third of the Electricity Supply Industry’s direct workforce of 47,000 employees. The Standards may also provide coverage for the increasing contractor workforce, which is required to support sector activities.

The ESI Transmission, Distribution and Rail sector of the Industry contributes greatly to the economic and future needs of Australia.

Regulatory arrangements

The industry is subject to a high level of legislation, regulation, codes of practice, guidelines and advisory standards related to the research, assembly, installation, construction, diagnostics, maintenance, commission, program, test or repair of; networks, systems, circuits, equipment, components, appliances, facilities and the like in the field of electricity. The regulatory requirements are typically based on the principle of operation of wiring systems and associated circuits involving equipment, apparatus and systems, public safety, safety and health of individuals who work on lines/circuits, systems and apparatus/equipment and other codes and practices related to the environment in which they operate.

Where possible, relevant and current regulatory requirements have been incorporated into this Training Package to assure outcomes are complementary to regulation. Where regulatory requirements are amended or introduced such outcomes are to be incorporated in training and assessment delivery. Continuous improvement and maintenance arrangements included in this Training Package will endeavour to maintain pace with changes.

Statutes, regulations and codes of practice

Federal, State and Territory Electricity, Telecommunications, Anti-discrimination, Occupational Health and Safety and Work Cover Acts and Regulations typically cover the Industry. Additionally, there are many Australian/New Zealand and International Standards, codes of practices and regulations that apply and to which observance is essential for assuring life, property and commerce. Thus, relevant legislative, regulatory codes of practice, guidelines and advisory standard requirements form an integral part of the obligatory requirements in the vocational standards found in this Training Package. The following websites can be a useful starting point for the latest information:

Other industry standards

It is recognised that the National Transmission and Distribution Sector Standards do not cover all the competencies, which are likely to be required and applied within Electricity Supply Industry workplaces. Nationally endorsed competency standards from other industries will be used where appropriate and the concept of cross-industry disciplinary standards will be encouraged. Specific rules have been included within this Training Package to address these arrangements.

Overview

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 recognised performance and determining training, recognising and assessing people’s skills, and may also have optional support materials

enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through assessment against given industry Competency Standard Units

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

encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads to verifiable industry 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 which contain the vocational standards for industry, endorsed by the National Quality Council (NQC).

How are Training Packages developed?

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

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. It is acknowledged that people can achieve vocational competency in many ways and Training Packages emphasise what learners can do, not how or where they learned to do it. For example, some experienced workers might be able to demonstrate competency against the competency standard units, and even gain a qualification without completing a formal training program.

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 Competency Standard Units on its scope of registration, or that works in partnership with another RTO as specified in the AQTF Standards for RTOs.

Training Package Components

Training Packages are made up of mandatory components endorsed by the NQC and optional support materials. The nationally endorsed components include the Qualification Framework, Competency Standard Units and Assessment Guidelines. These form the basis of training and assessment in the Training Package and must be used.

Qualifications Framework

Each Training Package provides details of the competency standards that must be achieved to award AQF qualifications or Statements of Attainment for part of a qualification. The rules, which determine which Competency Standard Units can be combined to make up a valid AQF qualification in the Training Package, are known as "package rules". These packaging rules must be followed to ensure the integrity of validating recognised qualifications issued.

Competency Standard Units

Each Competency Standard Unit 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 Competency Standard Units 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 assessment outcomes meet industry needs and the nationally agreed standards as expressed in the Training Package and the AQTF Standards for RTOs. The Assessment Guidelines must be followed to ensure integrity of assessment.

Training Package Support Materials

The endorsed components of a Training Package 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, RTOs and learners. In some instances the Industry Skills Council may have developed a Training Package and industry support material to assist RTOs in delivering the preferred industry approach. These support materials should be considered by RTOs in accordance with the relevant AQTF standard in an effort to support increased national consistency and assure industry of the quality of outcomes.

A Training Package can relate to single or multiple competency standard units, an industry sector, a qualification or the whole Training Package. They tend to fall into one or more of the categories below.

A range of stakeholders can produce a Training Package support materials, however, to ensure national consistency, partnership or collaborative approaches are preferred. Support materials developers include Industry Skills Councils, RTOs, individual trainers and assessors, private and commercial developers and government agencies.

Where support materials have been quality assured through a process of ‘noting’ by the NQC, they display the official logo, shown below. 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 their 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 Codes

There are agreed conventions for the national codes used in 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.

Each Training Package has a unique five-character national code assigned when the Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry is endorsed, for example UET09. The first three characters are letters identifying the Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry coverage and the last two characters are numbers identifying the year of endorsement.

Qualification Codes

Each Training Package qualification has a unique eight-character code, for example in this Training Package UET30109. In qualification codes, the:

first three characters are letters identifying the Training Package

fourth is a number reflecting the AQF level for the qualification

fifth and sixth characters represent the number of the qualification for the given level. That is in the case of UET30105, it is the first qualification of currently four AQF3 qualifications on offer in the Training Package.

seventh and eighth numbers identify the year in which the qualification was endorsed. Any subsequent amendments to the qualification result in this number changing to reflect the new year of endorsement.

Competency Standard Unit Codes

Each Unit has a unique code. A typical code is made up of a maximum of 12 characters; normally a mixture of uppercase letters and numbers. For example in this Training Package the following approach has been adopted:

Where an amendment is made to a Competency Standard Unit the following applies:

where changes do not affect the outcome of the unit the last character alpha identifier is incremented to indicate the new version. For example, UETTDRIS12A is changed to UETTDRIS12B.

where changes alter the outcome, a new unit title and code is assigned.

Training Package, Qualification and Competency Standard Units 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 which contains the vocational standards for industry, and with the code always placed before the title.

Training Package Titles

The title of each endorsed Training Package is unique and relates to the industry’s broad coverage.

Qualification Titles

The title of each endorsed Training Package qualification is unique. Qualification titles use the following sequence:

first, 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 Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) – Distribution, Transmission or Rail, and

if applicable, the occupational or functional stream follows in brackets, for example (Powerline). For example Certificate III in ESI Distribution (Powerline) or Diploma of ESI Power Systems.

Competency Standard Unit Titles

Each competency standard unit title is unique. This title describes the competency outcome concisely, and is written in sentence case. For example:

UETTDRIS04A Perform high voltage field switching to a given schedule

UETTDRIS26A Manage an ESI OHS management system

The Electricity Supply Industry - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package

The Electricity Supply Industry - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package

The revised Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package has been developed, reviewed and validated through extensive industry consultation. It reflects the views of a wide cross-section of the industry and its key stakeholders/practitioners throughout Australia.

This Training Package for the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail (UET12) has been developed on behalf of the EnergyUtilities Industry and community stakeholders from all States/Territories of Australia by EE-Oz Training Standards, with the support of DEEWR. EE-Oz Training Standards operates under a charter from DEEWR as a declared National ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry Skills Council for the ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry. EnergyUtilities Industry practitioners, regulators, government agencies and community stakeholders contributed much effort, support and knowledge in its development.

The first Training Package for this sector of the Electricity Supply Industry was released in 1998, as the Training Package for the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission and Distribution Sector of the Utilities Industry (UTT98). At that time it broke new ground for setting nationally recognised qualifications comprised of Competency Standard Units as they related to work performance. It assisted in benchmarking the design of training and assessment processes and practices. Since its initial release, it has undergone two version changes. The changes incorporated Certificate IV qualifications and subsequently a Rail Traction qualification as well as other minor amendments.

In its revised form the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package has gone even further in improving currency and relevance to industry by enhancing the range of qualifications and Competency Standard Units available with added flexibility to the industry. It includes an array of new and revised Competency Standard Units, pathways and design features.

The previous competency standard units have been revamped, reorganised and updated over 200 new Competency Standard Units across five levels of the AQF. The result is a Training Package that is more relevant to the industry. It readily responds to the needs and responsibilities of the future, both in technology and work organisation.

New skilled career pathways have also been developed that suit employment-based new entrants, as well as the existing workforce or those with pre-existing skill sets.

1.0.00 Qualification Framework

Volume 1 Part 1

Qualification Framework

1.1.00 The Australian Qualification Framework

1.0 The Australian Qualification 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. http://www.aqf.edu.au/Portals/0/Documents/Handbook/AQF_Handbook_07.pdf

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 eight AQF qualifications:

Certificate I in ...

Certificate II in ...

Certificate III in ...

Certificate IV in ...

Diploma of ...

Advanced Diploma of ...

Vocational Graduate Certificate of ...

Vocational Graduate Diploma of ...

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 AQTF 2011 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Statement of Attainment

A Statement of Attainment is issued by a Registered Training Organisation when an individual has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualification(s)/courses(s). Issuance of Statements of Attainment must comply with the advice provided in the current AQF Implementation Handbook and the AQTF 2011 Essential Standards for Initial and Continuing Registration.

Under the AQTF 2011, 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 II Characteristics of Learning Outcomes Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform in a range of varied activities or knowledge application where there is a clearly defined range of contexts in which the choice of actions required is usually clear and there is limited complexity in the range of operations to be applied. Performance of a prescribed range of functions involving known routines and procedures and some accountability for the quality of outcomes. Applications may include some complex or non-routine activities involving individual responsibility or autonomy and/or collaboration with others as part of a group or team. Distinguishing Features of Learning Outcomes Do the competencies enable an individual with this qualification to: demonstrate basic operational knowledge in a moderate range of areas; apply a defined range of skills; apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems; perform a range of tasks where choice between a limited range of options is required; assess and record information from varied sources; take limited responsibility for own outputs in work and learning

Regulatory Arrangements

Competency Standard Units, Skill Sets and Qualifications in this Training Package have been developed in consultation with the relevant industry technical and business Regulators so that, where appropriate, these align to the requirements of legislation, regulations and mandated codes of practice.

Licensing and regulatory authorities will recognise a range of Qualifications, Units or Skill Sets contained within this Training Package for respective licensing, registration or accreditation purposes. In constructing these qualifications, EE-Oz Training Standards and respective Regulators have given consideration to the link between the issuance of the qualification and the respective regulatory requirements. It is expected that the assessment and preferred training regime which meets the competency outcomes of the qualification and assessment, will therefore meet the regulatory requirements.

In recognising this interrelationship, every effort has been made to ensure currency in regulatory requirements, thus RTOs must ensure they are observed. This includes utilising any recommended industry training program designed to meet the Competency Standard Units and/or Qualification outcomes related to licensing/registration applications.

As RTO’s registered under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) requirements are given full responsibility for deeming a learner/apprentice competent for the respective Competency Standard Units making up a Training Package Qualification or Skill Set, the RTO shall also provide all the necessary documentation (including results preferably percentile based) as required by the regulatory authority to support an application of eligibility for a relevant license, registration or accreditation.

It should be noted that regulatory authorities have advised that the quality of Registered Training Organisations issuing a qualification for regulatory purposes will be monitored. Where deficiencies are identified, regulators may deem it necessary to introduce appropriate actions, including an additional ‘external’ assessment following the issuing of the qualification to satisfy eligibility requirements for issuing the licence.

Exporting ESI - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Industry CSUs from this Training Package

Competency Standard Units in this Training Package are interrelated and linked with the Definitions/Glossary and Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills sections of the Volume. This also includes information related to language, literacy and numeracy, access, equity, cultural diversity and any regulatory arrangements for which the Competency Standard Units may apply. No Competency Standard Unit can be used in isolation or exported without these interrelated components.

1.1.01 ESI - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Qualification Framework

1.1 ESI – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Qualification Framework

The qualifications listed in this Training Package adhere to the advice provided in the current version of AQF Implementation Handbook. See www.aqf.edu.au.

The qualifications have been designed to comply with the provisions of and comply with the National Quality Council’s (NQC) requirements for Flexibility of Training Package Qualifications to include:

One Third or more of total units required to gain a VET qualification will be electives.

The choice of Elective units can be broadened, to allow one sixth of total units to be included from other qualifications in a Training Package, other Training Packages and accredited courses.

All units as either core or electives.

See:http://www.nqc.tvetaustralia.com.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/52269/National_Quality_Council_communique.pdf

It should be noted that under these provisions Licensed and trade occupations are exempt from these measures.

Application of the NQC Flexibility Formula

Industry has obtained formal agreement to the continued use of its unit weighting system for valuing individual competency standards and the effort required to achieve a qualification under these provisions.

Thus, for the qualifications in this Training Package, the terms "total units" and "total units required to gain a qualification" and the fractions thereof referred to above are calculated using the weighting points assigned to respective Competency Standard Units (CSU) rather than by a count of individual units. The Qualification Completion Requirements table below summarises the relevant weighting points values to satisfy the packaging rules of each qualification in accordance with the NQC Policy.

To allow for the inclusion of units imported from other qualifications and other Training Packages and accredited courses under this weighting points system, industry also gained agreement to the following process for importing and valuing such imported units, as follows:

Customisation of these qualifications is permitted in order to meet learner’s individual needs, their current, intended or future work context, and a variety of possible industry environments.

For this purpose the importation of units up to one sixth of the total points value required for completion of a qualification is permitted from either one or a combination of the following three sources:

Elsewhere in this Training Package

Other Training Packages

Accredited Courses

Units selected for importation under these provisions shall be first packaged in the source Training Package or Accredited Course at the AQF level of the target qualification.

The importation of units from these sources shall be within the boundaries of the integrity of the intended qualification outcomes, the requirements of the Australian Qualifications Framework, the Australian Quality Training Framework and all regulatory requirements applicable to the imported unit and/or the target qualification.

Minimum points (10) will be allocated to units imported from sources other than those managed by EE-Oz Training Standards. Advice on the valuation of units selected for importation from sources other than EE-Oz Training Packages shall be sought from the relevant EE-Oz Technical Advisory Committee.

Advice shall be sought from the relevant state/territory registration and accreditation body to determine if there is a requirement for an extension to a Registered Training Organisation’s scope of registration in relation to the inclusion of such imported unit/s into a qualification

Advice shall be sought from the relevant registration and accreditation body regarding the requirement to record and report the inclusion of units imported under these provisions for the purposes of awarding a qualification.

Where units have been imported under these provisions, this shall be reported to EE-Oz Training Standards so that industry is aware of such units and can consider the endorsement of these into the relevant qualification(s).

1.1.02 Qualification Pathways

1.2 Qualification Pathways

This Training Package provides open entry at each of the AQF levels. Arrows indicate the pathways that can be followed no matter at which qualification level you enter.

Entry and Exit Points for ESI – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Industry Qualifications

For more information on the latest Training Package vocational standards qualifications and qualification pathways visit ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry Skills Council Ltd trading as EE-Oz Training Standards at www.ee-oz.com.au

Articulation pathways

Qualification articulation and entry and exit arrangements are based on the specific training and education requirements endorsed by the industry. The construction of the Competency standard units and the group of units that make up an individual qualification are of particular significance to the operational, regulatory and safety arrangements of the industry. Each qualification provides a unique vocational outcome that can be used for Australian apprentices as entry-level contracted employees.

All qualifications are open entry and open exit and are available for use as Australian Apprenticeship entry-level contracted employment. Australian apprenticeship arrangements are subject to State/Territory statutory requirements, prescriptions within industrial instruments and policies of State/Territory training authorities and RTOs. Reference to what applies should therefore be made from respective statutory bodies in the first instance.

Australian Apprenticeship arrangements therefore apply to all qualifications; however, they are subject to State/Territory statutory requirements, prescriptions within industrial instruments and policies of State/Territory training authorities.

Open entry is provided into all qualifications, Open entry is available at all levels provided the prospective learner’s general education and competency level is equivalent to the outcome of four to five years of secondary school. Additionally, entry levels provide an option for potential learners to choose a qualification suited to their needs while providing flexibility for recruitment action by employers. What must be satisfied for entry is that any listed prerequisite Competency Standard Unit requirements are met. Entry into all qualifications is also available through Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) arrangements.

School Based Australian Apprenticeships

Australian Apprenticeships are declared in each State or Territory according to the particular processes of the jurisdiction and requirements identified by industry in the State or Territory.

Declarations for particular qualifications as either Traineeships or Apprenticeships are made accordingly and therefore the same qualification may be classified differently between jurisdictions.

Whilst EE-Oz has no control over these processes and declarations, it would recommend that the following qualifications be considered when addressing School based Australian Apprenticeships:

Qualification Code	Qualification Title
Nil	Nil

Access, Equity and Cultural Diversity

The skills required of employees in the ESI – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector are comprehensive. The qualifications in this Training Package reflect the range of competencies required and are written in a non-exclusive manner so as to increase the participation rates of all equity and disadvantaged groups and to minimise unintentional bias.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy

A specific section related to language, literacy and numeracy skills has been included in each Competency standard unit to provide advice on the entry requirements for each unit. It provides Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), industry and career aspirants with relevant language, literacy and numeracy entry-level advice for each Competency standard unit that would maximise an individual’s prospects for successful completion of the unit and, where appropriate, the qualification.

The language, literacy and numeracy definitions and requirements are described in more detail in Volume 2, Part 3 — Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills. Each Competency standard unit in Volume Part 2 references the respective language, literacy and numeracy skills that apply.

Australian Apprenticeship – Application

Australian Apprenticeships are work related competency programs designed for entry-level contracted employment for new entrants to the industry. For further information regarding Australian Apprenticeships and their application in relation to this Training Package refer to Appendix A - Australian Apprenticeship – application. Appendix A is located in Assessment Guidelines part 1.3.15

1.1.05 Qualifications and Packaging Rules

1.5 Qualifications and Packaging Rules

The following table details the full range of qualifications in this version of the ESI – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package, the completion requirements for each qualification and their respective structure and composition. These qualifications have been designed to comply with the National Quality Council’s Packing Rules for Flexibility initiative.

Each qualification is described by the number of core and elective weighted points required for completion and issue of the qualification under the AQF.

Respective qualifications have at least two Elective Groups from which elective competencies may be drawn. Where a range of weighting points is set for a group e.g. 60-120, the lower number indicates both the minimum weighting points required from that particular elective group for completion and the larger number is the maximum required weighting points which may be selected from that group for a valid qualification completion.

Where the lower number for a group is 0 no competencies are required to be selected from that group, however, sufficient weighted points must be selected from other groups to meet the required total elective weighted points for completion.

Note: Individuals may select elective units to a weighting point total greater than the maximum specified for completion from a particular group. Where this is done weighted points in excess of the specified maximum cannot be counted for completion of the qualification.

Where a Competency Standard Unit has pre-requisite Competency Standards Unit requirements, such pre-requisite units shall be completed and their weighted points counted toward qualification completion.

Full details of each qualification follow Table 1 -Qualification Completion Values, below.

1.1.06 Skill Sets

1.6 Skill Sets

Definition

Skill sets are defined as single units of competency, or combinations of units of competency from an endorsed Training Package, which link to a licence or regulatory requirement, or defined industry need.

Skill sets are a way of publicly identifying logical groupings of units of competency which meet an identified need or industry outcome. Skill sets are not qualifications.

Where skill sets are identified in a Training Package, the Statement of Attainment can set out the competencies a person has achieved in a way that is consistent and clear for employers and others. This is done by including the wording ‘these competencies meet [insert skill set title or identified industry area] need’ on the Statement of Attainment. This wording applies only to skill sets that are formally identified as such in the endorsed Training Package. See the 2011 edition of the AQF Implementation Handbook for advice on wording on Statements of Attainment. See: http://www.aqf.edu.au/Portals/0/Documents/Handbook/AQF_Handbook_07.pdf

Identified Skill Sets

Note: Refresher Training Skill Sets

The following Skill Sets have been developed to meet the requirements for refresher training of skills essential for gaining and maintaining access to electricity supply industry networks. The Refresher Training units in these Skill Sets are not included in any qualifications or elective schedules and are only to be accessed via the identified Skill Sets included below.

1.2 Competency Standards

Volume 1 Part 2

1.2.00 Competency Standards

Competency Standards

2.0 Introduction

Information in this section outlines how the competency standards were developed in broad terms. The industry coverage they can apply to, as well as the format and construction of the individual Competency Standard Units provided. Matters related to language, literacy and numeracy, access and equity and the regulatory environment in which the units may apply is also covered, as is the interrelated Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills. Competency standard units in this Training Package are interrelated and linked with the Definitions/Glossary and Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills sections. Therefore, each Competency Standard Unit, found in Volume 2, must not be used in isolation or exported without these interrelated components.

There are over 200 Competency Standard Units included.

A definitions/glossary to complement the Competency Standard Units is included in Volume 2 Part 1. The glossary provides a description of those words that are used in the Competency Standard Units to define terms in more detail. It also forms an integral part of each unit. An Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills section follows the Competency Standard Units and also forms an integrated part of each unit.

Included in this section is the following:

an index of the Competency Standard Units – Table 1 in part 1.2.09– Index of Units and Scopes/Descriptors. The units have been placed in groups that would typically relate to a particular or special area of industry need and for ease in recognition of related unit groupings. Included at the end of Table 1 part 1.2.09 are the imported units that are located within the core of the qualifications in this Training Package.

pre-requisites of each Competency Standard Unit can be obtained from Table 1 in part1.2.09. Reference is also given for the correlation of the units within a qualification(s).

a list of imported Competency Standard Units — located in Table 1 in part 1.2.09.

1.2.01 Development of Competency Standards for the ESI - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector

2.1 Development of Competency Standards for the ESI – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector

Competency Standards were initially developed for the function of Linework and Cable-Jointing, and were endorsed in 1993, by the then National Training Board (NTB). The 1993 version Competency Standard Units were updated and incorporated into the new Training Package framework. They were endorsed in 1998 as the Training Package for the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission and Distribution sector of the Utilities Industry (UTT98). Subsequent minor amendments were made to include an array of qualifications, variations to Competency Standard Units and the inclusion of Rail as a sector.

Consequently, these revised units make up the group of units within this Training Package. They cover a broad range of knowledge and skills applied in the Transmission, Distribution and Rail industry. The development project satisfied the following characteristics:

National Utilities and Electrotechnology ITAB (now knows as EE-OZ Training Standards) and its nationwide focus groups appropriately represented the industry throughout Australia

Development, consultation and validation included appropriate processes with a wide range of industry employer/employee, practitioners, providers, stakeholders/community, and regulatory and government agency representatives

The draft standards were distributed throughout the national, State and Territory ITAB network and to industry stakeholders and, feedback from other industries was actively encouraged

The competency standards were subjected to ongoing scrutiny during the process of development.

1.2.02 Industry Coverage

2.2 Industry Coverage

The Australian Standard Classifications of Occupation (ASCO) defines a number of occupations served by this Training Package that describes vocational standards for the Industry.

The typical job functions for specific qualifications can be located in Volume 1 Part 1 of this Training Package and highlight the industry coverage

The formal industry coverage is under ANZSIC Code 3610 in which the sector is defined as consisting of units mainly engaged in the Generation, transmission or distribution of electricity. Most vocations in this group have an entry level of skill commensurate with an AQF Certificate III or higher qualification. In some instances relevant experience is required in addition to a formal qualification.

There have been a number of changes within the industry and the sector has characterised during the last few years by the privatisation of many enterprises and the out-sourcing of many functions and activities.

Notwithstanding these changes these Competency Standards will cover approximately one third of the Electricity Supply Industry’s direct workforce of 47,000 employees. The Standards may also provide coverage for the increasing contractor workforce, which is required to support sector activities.

The ESI Transmission, Distribution and Rail sector of the Industry contributes greatly to the economic and future needs of Australia. In Volume 1 Part 1, the section ‘The Electricity Supply Industry’ describes the Industry in detail.

The intent of the national ESI — Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package is to describe the skills and knowledge, which pertain to vocations within the field of Transmission, Distribution and Rail, and to offer a choice and range of qualifications or Competency Standard Unit through appropriate training for organisations, and personnel seeking formal recognition of respective skills and knowledge. It is recognised that other training pathways may exist in the form of other Training Packages and arrangements.

The prime objective of the national ESI — Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package is to establish the standards of performance in terms of skills and knowledge required for safe, productive and satisfying work covering a range of work activities referred to above. Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) can subsequently develop appropriate industry approved training programs to meet these objectives or indeed to meet other Training Package objectives. The determining factor will be choice, choice of Training Package, and choice of provider – RTO. Where New Apprenticeships apply choice in relation to funding to RTOs will be facilitated by policy enunciated by State and Territory Training Authorities.

Other industry standards

It is recognised that the ESI - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry Standards do not cover all the competencies, which are likely to be required and applied within organisations and workplaces. Nationally endorsed competency standards from other industries can be used where appropriate, provided they are imported in accordance with the criteria outlined in this Training Package.

Language, literacy, numeracy and Employability Skills.

The competency standards have been written to reflect the technical and operational needs of industry and include appropriate language, literacy and numeracy requirements.

In general employability skills are embedded within the technical aspects of the industry units and in some instances, the Competency Standard Units directly address the employability skills. The relationship of employability skills to industry competencies is shown in part 1.1.03.

Access and equity

The knowledge and skills required of employees in the ESI — Transmission, Distribution and Rail industry are comprehensive and therefore many and varied employment opportunities are available. The Competency Standards reflect the range of knowledge and skills required and are written in a non-exclusive manner so as to increase the participation rates of under-represented groups and to minimise unintentional bias.

Contextualisation

In the Competency Standard Units, "notes" have been placed against respective aspects that include scope, performance criteria, range statement and essential knowledge and associated skills and other related sections. The insertion of these "notes" is primarily to provide users and support material developers with examples of the form and type related to technical content principles, technology, equipment, or processes that may be used to cover the outcomes. The examples should be treated as information that adds clarity for the purposes of assisting in guidance of the depth and breadth that is to be covered.

As the type, form, process, or technique of technology and equipment may change it is therefore expected and encumbered on RTOs to continue to be current in the content of their delivery arrangements. It is therefore appropriate for RTOs to use the notes in relation to technology and equipment references as advisory information. In these instances RTOs should aim to accommodate the adoption of improved and new technologies in the scope/range and essential knowledge and associated skills of the Competency Standard Units by varying the context examples given in the referenced ‘Notes:’ to the Performance Criteria, Range Statement and Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills. However, the contextualisation must not be such that the outcome of the Competency Standard Units is altered in any way.

Where contextualisation of the notes varies the outcome of the Competency Standard Unit and its related content, RTOs should consult with EE-Oz Training Standards to explore options for incorporating and/or covering the new arrangements, so that currency of the Training package is maintained.

It should be noted that any need to alter a Competency Standard Units from its intended outcome requires a new or varied Competency Standard Unit. Such changes are to be undertaken through the continuous improvement processes required of Training Packages, which in relation to this Training Package is managed by EE-Oz Training Standards.

Also refer to the Qualifications Framework section of this ESI Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package.

1.2.03 Unit Construction

2.3 Unit Construction

Competency Standard Units that have been successfully completed by learners are to be acknowledged. Some Competency Standard Units have been constructed in a manner that will allow reporting without further explanation. However, there are units from related Utilities Industry Training Packages that have been constructed in a manner that requires further reporting of relevant transferable information, i.e. a reporting statement of information that is meaningful for maximum recognition and skills transfer. Generally this would be any endorsement or subset of the unit, as well as detailed formal advice about essential knowledge and skills.

If, in future developments of this Training Package, endorsements are included, further information will be provided. Information can be found in the Electrotechnology Training Package.

Prerequisites

It is important to note that in relation to training delivery of prerequisites Competency Standard Units, training and formative staged assessments may be delivered for all, or part of the sequence of Competency Standard Units concurrently and at a different stage to the final assessment of each unit. However, the final assessment event and judgement for attributing competence for each unit is to follow the prerequisite sequence.

Exporting ESI CSUs from this Training Package

No Standard Competency Unit from this Training Package is to be used in isolation or exported without including all relevant interrelated components such as definitions, glossary, essential knowledge and skills, matters related to language, literacy and numeracy, access, equity, cultural diversity or any regulatory arrangements that apply.

1.2.04 Assessment Guidelines

2.4 Assessment Guidelines

The National Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry have developed guidelines for the assessment of these standards. The guidelines are included at Volume 1 Part 3 of this Training Package.

1.2.05 National Qualifications

2.5 National Qualifications

The National Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry has identified qualifications, which are linked to and use these competency standards. These are included in part 1.1.05 – Qualifications Framework of this Training Package.

A list of the qualification titles contained in this Training Package is provided in Part 1.1.05. Included in this section are details of the content and composition of the qualifications, the Industry Qualifications Framework, completion requirements and the rules for structuring and flexibility arrangements and the qualifications structure for each qualification. Further, there is a full description provided for each qualification, which explains its application and gives added meaning to the group of units making up the respective qualification.

1.2.06 Regulatory Arrangements - ESI - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector

2.6 Regulatory Arrangements — ESI - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector

The Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry is subject to a high level of regulation and codes of practice related to the assembly, installation and maintenance of parts, components and the control and operation of equipment, apparatus and the like. The regulations and codes of practice are based on principles of the operation of overhead and underground wiring systems and associated circuits involving equipment, apparatus and systems, public safety, safety and health of individuals who work on systems and apparatus/equipment and other codes and practices related to the environment in which they are installed and maintained.

Competency Standard Units in this Training Package have been developed in consultation with the relevant industry technical and business Regulators so that, where appropriate, these align to the requirements of legislation, regulations and mandated codes of practice.

Licensing and regulatory authorities will recognise a range of Competency Standard Units contained within this Training Package for respective licensing, registration or accreditation purposes. In constructing these Competency Standard Units, EE-Oz Training Standards and respective Regulators have given consideration to the link between the delivery and assessment of Competency Standard Units and the respective regulatory requirements. It is expected that the assessment and preferred training regime which meets a Competency Standard Unit’s delivery and assessment requirements will therefore meet the relevant regulatory requirements.

In recognising this interrelationship, every effort has been made to ensure currency in regulatory requirements, thus RTOs must ensure they are observed. This includes utilising any recommended industry training program designed to meet Competency Standard Units which are related to licensing/registration applications.

As RTO’s registered under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) requirements are given full responsibility for deeming a learner/apprentice competent for the respective Competency Standard Units within this Training Package. The RTO shall also provide all the necessary documentation (including results preferably percentile based) as required by the regulatory authority to support an application of eligibility for a relevant license, registration or accreditation.

It should be noted that regulatory authorities have advised that the quality of Registered Training Organisations awarding Competency Standard Units for regulatory purposes will be monitored. Where deficiencies are identified, regulators may deem it necessary to introduce appropriate actions, including an additional ‘external’ assessment following the issuing of the qualification to satisfy eligibility requirements for issuing the licence.

Statutes, regulations and codes of practice

Federal, State and Territory Electricity, Telecommunications, Occupational Health and Safety and Work Cover Acts and Regulations typically cover the Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry. Further, there are other statutes, regulations, industrial instruments, codes of practice, guidelines and advisory standards, Australian/New Zealand and International Standards that apply to the Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry.

1.2.07 Maintenance of Competency Standards

2.7 Maintenance of Competency Standards

The Transmission, Distribution and Rail Industry Competency Standards were developed by, and are therefore owned by, the industry. However, it is acknowledged that copyright ownership with respect to this material rests with the Commonwealth.

The Competency Standards must be maintained so that they reflect the ongoing needs of the ESI — Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package sector and respond in a timely manner to changed technologies and circumstances.

The parties (as detailed in the Introduction to this Training Package) who constitute the ESI — Transmission, Distribution and Rail Training Package sector of the ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry Skills Council share responsibility for the maintenance of the Competency Standards:

Competency Standards maintenance will be coordinated and managed by ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry Skills Council Ltd trading as EE-Oz Training Standards or its successor.

Suggestions and proposals for changes from all parties are welcomed. These should be documented and submitted to EE-Oz Training Standards in accordance with its policies and procedures.

1.2.08 What is Competency?

2.8 What is Competency?

The broad concept of industry competency relates to demonstrated performance of specified tasks and duties, expected in the workplace to a given standard as expressed in industry standards. Competency requires the demonstrated application of specified skills and knowledge and the ability to transfer and apply the skills and knowledge to new situations and environments, relevant to effective participation in work for 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 the work environment and working with others.

Work performance competency requires the demonstrated application of specified skills, knowledge and aptitudes consistently over time and to a quality standard in the workplace, and the ability to transfer it to new situations and environments. In line with this concept of competency, Training Packages contain the vocational standards for industry and 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. The measure is not what the individual/leaner knows, but has the individual/learner demonstrated performance to a standard, with what they know in a range of situations and range of applications.

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

Contextualisation of Competency Standard Units by RTOs

RTOs may contextualise Competency Standard Units to reflect local outcomes required, provided that no requirements and/or completion rules of the Training Package for industry are infringed. This also includes any prevailing regulatory requirements that may apply to the Competency Standard Units. Contextualisation could involve additions or amendments to suit particular delivery methods, learner profiles, specific enterprise equipment requirements, or to otherwise meet local needs. The integrity of the overall intended outcome of the Competency Standard Units must be maintained and, not reduced.

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

must not contravene, diminish or detract from any regulatory/licensing arrangement that may apply to the unit, or its related delivery arrangements, and

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, and/or

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

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 Competency Standard Units

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.

Employability Skills

This sub-section contains a statement that the unit contains Employability skills.

Pre-requisite Units (optional)

If there are any units of competency that must be completed before the unit, these will be listed.

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.

Competency Field (Optional)

The competency field either reflects the way the units of competency are categorised in the Training Package or denotes the industry sector, specialisation or function. It is an optional component of the unit of competency.

Sector (optional)

The industry sector is a further categorisation of the competency field and identifies the next classification, for example an elective or supervision field.

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 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.

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.

Sample unit of competency components showing Employability Skills

The following table shows the sequence of a unit of competency, and each cell contains text taken from a range of units. It provides examples of where and how various Employability Skills could be embedded in each component.

Please note that in the example, the bracketed Employability Skills are provided for clarification only and would not be present in units of competency within this Training Package.

1.3.00 Assessment Guidelines

Volume 1 Part 3

Assessment Guidelines

1.3.01 Introduction

3.1 Introduction

These Assessment Guidelines provide the endorsed framework for assessment of the Competency Standard Units in this Training Package. They are designed to ensure that assessment is consistent with the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF 2007). Assessments against the Competency Standard Units in this Training Package must be carried out in accordance with these Assessment Guidelines.

Note:

1.	Using this guideline to support any assessment strategy or process does not remove the responsibility of employers and employees to ensure appropriate ‘duty of care’ arrangements are maintained under relevant occupational health and safety legislation, and any other prevailing legislation, regulation, standard or code. RTOs should recognise this in their assessment processes and provide requisite advice.

2.	In the assessment process it should be acknowledged that State/Territory regulatory requirements and/or Codes of Practice may vary. Therefore there may be a requirement for the demonstration of a greater range of items to those specified in respective Competency Standard Units. RTOs should incorporate this in their assessment processes and practices.

1.3.02 Assessment System Overview

3.2 Assessment System Overview

This section provides an overview of the requirements for assessment when using this Training Package, including a summary of the AQTF 2007 requirements; licensing/registration requirements; and assessment pathways. By way of supporting, and reinforcing, both the concept of competency and the Competency Standard Unit, the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector embraces the following tenets:

Wherever practicable, summative (or final) assessment is to include the application of the competency in the normal work environment or, at a minimum, the application of the competency in a realistically simulated work environment. It is recognised that, in some circumstances, assessment in part or full can occur outside the workplace. However, it must be in accord with any approved industry and, Regulatory policy in this regard.

All persons may claim formal recognition for an assessment of an individual Competency Standard Unit, or a group of units (Skill Sets).

All persons have the right to have relevant competencies recognised through the most expeditious assessment system and method.

Benchmarks for Assessment

Assessment within the National Skills Framework is the process of collecting evidence and making judgements about whether competency has been achieved. Competency is something that is inferred rather than proven. The purpose of assessment is to confirm through evidence whether an individual can perform to the standards expected in the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector workplace, as expressed in the relevant endorsed Competency Standard Unit.

In the areas of work covered by this Training Package the competency standard units are the benchmarks for assessment in the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector. They are the basis for nationally recognised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).

The Competency Standard Units in this Training Package include:

National Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector (UET) Competency Standards, Edition 1, 2005 and subsequent endorsed revisions.

Imported Competency Standard Units from other endorsed Training Packages that have been valued by the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Competency Advisory Council (ESI-TD&R CAC) for inclusion in Qualifications in this Training Package.

An index of the developed Competency Standard Units is contained in Volume 1 Part 2.

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 requirement of the AQTF as expressed in the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration.

The AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration can be downloaded from www.training.com.au/aqtf2007. The following points summarise assessment requirements.

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 AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration. The RTO must have the specific Competency Standard Units and/or AQF qualifications on its scope of registration.

The Registered Training Organisation is to be responsible for all aspects of assessment. The assessment must cover the critical aspects of evidence (assessment) detailed in each Competency Standard Unit. In addressing these critical aspects, and ensuring reasonable consistency, the assessment is to ensure that:

the individual satisfies the requirements in terms of underpinning/essential knowledge and associated skills so that their ability to transfer the competency to differing circumstances may reasonably be inferred

the individual is competent to safely perform all the practical applications required.

The RTO is also responsible for the issue of formal recognition in the form of National Qualifications or Statements of Attainment and where regulatory requirements apply provide additional information so required, and enter, where applicable and preferred by industry relevant information into an individual Industry Skills Passport, or other industry approved instrument. The RTO will therefore:

issue the National Qualification based on individuals having been assessed as competent for the qualification and all the Competency Standard Units which constitute the qualification. (See Part 1 of this Training Package), and/or

issue formal recognition (Statements of Attainment) in respect of individual or clusters of Competency Standard Units for which candidates have been assessed and found competent, and/or

where required for regulated or industry purposes, issue additional formal information as specified by the industry and relevant regulator.

Quality Training and Assessment

Each RTO must provide quality training and assessment across all its operations. See AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration, Standard 1.

Assessor Competency Requirements

Each person involved in training, assessment or client service must be competent for the functions they perform. See the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration Standard 1, for assessor (trainer) competency requirements.

Assessment Requirements

The RTOs assessments, including RPL, must meet the requirements of the relevant endorsed Training Package. See AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration Standard 1.

Assessment Strategies

Each RTO must strategies that meet the requirements of the relevant Training Package or accredited course and are developed in consultation with industry stakeholders. See the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration, Standard 1.

National Recognition

Each RTO must recognise the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTO. See the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration, Condition of Registration 7: Recognition of qualifications issued by other RTOs.

Registered Training Organisations may contact the EE-Oz Training Standards as the declared National Industry Skills Council for the ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry, for assistance mutual recognition.

Access and Equity and Client Outcomes

Each RTO must adhere to the principles of access and equity and maximise outcomes for its clients. See AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration, Standard 2.

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 the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Recording Assessment Outcomes

Each RTO must manage records to ensure their accuracy and integrity. See the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration, Standard 3.

Issuing AQF Qualifications and Statements 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 has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualification(s)/course(s). See the AQTF2007 and the 2007 edition of the AQF Implementation Handbook - available on the AQFAB website www.aqf.edu.au.

Licensing/Registration Arrangements

It is a requirement that Training Package Developers consider licensing/registration requirements in the development of the respective Industry Training Package. Generally licensing/registration requirements will be incorporated in relevant Competency Standard Units/qualifications.

Where licensing/registration applies, RTOs are to ensure that assessment against relevant Competency Standard Units is consistent with regulated requirements. Evidence of achievement should be gathered and recorded in such a way as to allow RTOs to report on such achievement that is consistent with regulated requirements.

The latest information on licensing/registration requirements may be obtained by visiting the Industry Skills Council/Training Package Developer's website. In the case of this Training Package it is EE-Oz Training Standards. Refer to the following website for more information: www.ee-oz.com.au

RTOs, are responsible for the implementation of the quality assurance arrangements included in these guidelines. However, where competency development occurs in regulated/licensed areas RTOs are to incorporate any additionally and prevailing regulatory authority requirements typically called up in these Guidelines into their quality assurance arrangements.

In some instances, in order to conduct assessments for statutory licensing or other industry registration requirements, assessors must also meet any additional requirements that may also be established by the regulatory body/agency. Respective regulators should be contacted directly to obtain information in this regard.

Requirements for Assessors

In order to conduct assessment for statutory licensing or other industry registration requirements assessors must meet the requirements established by regulatory agencies and respective nominees, in addition to the AQTF requirements. Assessors are to liaise with respective agencies to ensure respective requirements are followed and met.

Requirements for RTOs

Selected Competency Standard Units 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 are to keep abreast of developments and any additional requirements detailed by such bodies and their respective nominees. RTOs and their assessors are therefore required to liaise with the Training Package developer and respective agencies to ensure requirements are known and met.

Requirements for Candidates

Individuals being assessed under statutory licensing and industry registration systems may be required to comply with training and experience requirements additional to any minimum requirements identified in this Training Package. These additional requirements are to be formally advised by the RTOs to individuals prior to the delivery of the Training Package outcomes.

Pathways

Competencies in Training Packages 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 Packages 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 below.

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 Assessment Guidelines of the Training Package and the AQTF 2007.

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 Australian 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 Pathway or Recognition of Prior Learning Pathway

Competencies already held by individuals can be formally assessed against the Competency Standard Units 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. 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 the AQTF 2007 must be met (Standard 1).

As with all assessment, the assessor must be confident that the evidence indicates that the candidate is currently competent against the endorsed competency standard unit(s). This evidence may take a variety of forms and might include certification, Industry Skills Council equivalence mapping declarations, 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 is:

authentic (the candidate’s own work)

valid (directly related to the current version of the relevant endorsed Competency Standard Unit)

reliable (a range of test instruments will provide the same result for a given candidate)

current (reflect the candidate’s current capacity to perform the aspect of the work covered by the endorsed Competency Standard Unit), and

sufficient (covers the full range of elements and performance criteria in the relevant Competency Standard Unit and addresses the four dimensions of competency, namely task skills, task management skills, con tangency management skills, and job/role environment skills).

An assessment-only or recognition of prior learning pathway is likely to be most appropriate in the following scenarios:

candidates participating/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

people with disabilities or injuries requiring a change in career, and

people with existing competencies from allied industry Training Packages.

Combination of Pathways

Where candidates 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 approaches may be appropriate.

In such situations, the candidate may undertake an initial assessment to determine their current competence. Once current competence is identified, a structured training and assessment program ensures that the candidate acquires the required additional competencies identified as gaps. These would be achieved through a 'training and assessment pathway'. 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 AQTF 2007 specifies mandatory competency requirements for assessors. For information, Standard 1, Element 1.4 from the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration follows:

"1.4	Training and assessment is delivered by trainers and assessors who:

a)	have the necessary training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Quality Council or its successors

b)	have the relevant vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered or assessed

continue developing their vocational and training and assessment competencies to support continuous improvements in the delivery of the RTO’s services."

7.3 a The RTO must ensure that assessments are conducted by a person who has: i the following competencies1 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.

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 that these tools are benchmarked or mapped against the current version of the relevant competency standard unit(s) and any industry-preferred model, and supported by the industry. This can be done by checking that the materials are listed on the National Training Information Service (http://www.ntis.gov.au) or EE-Oz Training Standards (www.ee-oz.com.au). Materials on the list have been noted by the National Quality Council (NQC), as meeting the quality criteria for Training Packages support materials.

Developing Assessment Tools

When developing assessment tools, assessors must ensure that they:

are benchmarked against the relevant competency standard unit(s)

are benchmarked against the industry-preferred competency assessment model

are reviewed as part of the continuous improvement of assessment strategies as required under Standard 1 of the AQTF 2007.

meet the assessment requirements expressed in Standard 1 of the AQTF 2007.

A key reference for assessors developing assessment tools is TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package and the unit of competency TAAASS403A Develop assessment tools. There is no set format or process for the design, production or development of assessment materials.

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 the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration.

For information, the mandatory assessment requirements from Standard 1 from the AQTF 2007 Essential Standards for Registration are as follows:

"1.5	Assessment, including Recognition of Prior Learning:
a) meets the requirements of the relevant Training Package or accredited course,
b) is conducted in accordance with the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence, and
c) meets workplace and, where relevant, regulatory requirements."

Assessment of Employability Skills

Employability Skills are integral to workplace competency. As such they 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.

Employability Skills are embedded and explicit within each unit of competency. Training providers must use Employability Skills information in order to design valid and reliable training and assessment strategies. This analysis could include:

reviewing units of competency to locate relevant Employability Skills and determine how they are applied within the unit

analysing the Employability Skills Summary for the qualification in which the unit or units are packaged to help clarify relevant industry and workplace contexts and the application of Employability Skills at that qualification outcome

designing training and assessment to address Employability Skills requirements.

For more information on Employability Skills in the ElectroComms and Energy Utilities Training Packages go to the EE-Oz website at www.ee-oz.com.au

Access and 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: training and assessment must be bias-free.

Under the rules for their development, Training Packages must reflect and cater for the increasing diversity of Australia’s VET clients and Australia’s current and future workforce. The flexibilities offered by Training Packages should enhance opportunities and potential outcomes for all people so that we can all benefit from a wider national skills base and a shared contribution to Australia’s economic development and social and cultural life.

Reasonable Adjustments

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.

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.

1.3.03 ESI - Transmission, Distribution & Rail, Learning and Assessment pathways

3.3 ESI – Transmission, Distribution & Rail, Learning and Assessment pathways

Within the general Training Package Pathways continuum framework, referred to in the previous section, three distinct Assessment Pathways have been identified for use within the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector. Although not exclusive, the three pathways provide typical recognition processes for individual Competency Standard Units or groups of units that make up Qualifications or Statements of Attainment. From an industry perspective, assessment is to lead to formal recognition of the Industry’s benchmark competencies or formal recognition of competencies from other industries. Formal recognition may be for individual competencies or for groups of competencies, which may be combined to satisfy the requirements of a National Qualification.

Pathway 1: New entrant competency development

Pathway 2: Recognition of currently held competencies or prior learning and workplace experience

Pathway 3: Recognition of other currently held competencies (other industry standards)

Pathway 1: New Entrant Competency Development

This pathway is for individuals who are undertaking an industry preferred competency development plan. The users of this pathway may be:

contracted employment based employees who are generally new apprentices and who undertake an approved training program that supports a competency development plan, or

those that undertake an approved structured training program in an institutional environment to achieve competency outcomes.

Evidence of Competency

In this pathway evidence required to determine competence for the issuance of the qualification or Statement of Attainment is to be in accordance with 3.4 Assessment principles within the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector contained herein. The evidence however, must be sufficient in quality, quantity and type and be gathered in an on-going basis in a timely and accurate manner from several sources, such as, workplace and educational experiences based on the approved industry training program and related competency development plan in which individuals are involved.

Pathway 2: Recognition of prior learning/current competencies (RPL/RCC)

This pathway is for those who may have acquired skills and knowledge in relevant Competency Standard Units outside formally recognised processes. The users of this pathway will include applicants from overseas and also applicants who have developed skills in allied industries but who have no formal recognition in respect of industry standards or qualifications. In using this pathway RTOs should also identify if any equivalence mapping document exists as per Pathway 3.

Additionally, an existing national mechanism for the recognition as a tradesperson is through the Tradesmens’ Rights Regulation Act, which is administered by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), which is part of the Commonwealth Department of Industrial Relations. TRA grants recognition for the purposes of migration but further analysis of the applicant’s knowledge and skills is often needed before competency can be attributed.

The Trades Recognition Australia process mainly operates to provide formal recognition of the knowledge and skills of migrants, which have been developed by structured training and or work experience in overseas countries. However, it is also an important mechanism for the assessment and recognition of the competencies of people who may not have had access to the industry preferred new entrant model of competency development for trade vocations in Australia. For more information visit:

http://www.workplace.gov.au/workplace/Category/SchemesInitiatives/TRA/TRA-TradeClassificationsAssessed.htm

Evidence of Competency

In Pathway 2 many types of evidence can be used to determine competency for the issuance of qualifications or Statements of Attainment. The evidence may come from records of previous relevant work experience. This type of evidence will need endorsement by a supervisor/mentor skilled in the units for which recognition is sought. Evidence may consist of portfolios such as projects or products completed for other purposes, or from non-registered training programs or ad hoc prior experience, or from overseas programs of a similar nature.

Industry would expect this evidence to be assessed by the RTO (or its nominee – a qualified industry assessor). The result will be that the applicant is judged competent for the competency standard unit(s) or gaps are identified and noted. Where a gap is identified, the applicant can either accept the judgement and pursue gap training or elect to appeal the decision. Evidence used in the appeal process may include a personal portfolio, relevant work history, interview, comments by peers or employers, and challenge tests.

Pathway 3: Recognition of Other Industry/Enterprise Standards

This pathway is for individuals who have developed skills based on other nationally recognised industry or enterprise competency standards and who have received formal recognition in Competency Standards Unit(s) from these areas. Recognition of equivalence of Competency Standard Units between industries is through an agreed and formal mapping process. Equivalence of outcomes are declared by Industry Skills Councils for respective Training Packages. The recognition of Units, as part of any mapping arrangements is the responsibility of the parties who maintain the competency standards, in this instance EE-Oz Training Standards. RTOs should investigate whether any mapping agreements are in place by contacting the relevant Industry Skills Councils.

Evidence of Competency

In this pathway, evidence will be based on formally agreed mapping declaration(s) of Competency Standards Unit(s) of other Industry Competency Standards against the unit(s) in the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package for which formal recognition is sought. The equivalence mapping declaration agreement would be formalised between Industry Skills Councils.

The applicant would be required to supply details of the unit(s) held including any currency, and the unit(s) sought in consultation with the RTO, including submitting any assessment reports to the RTO for a determination. This equivalence evidence will be reviewed against the mapping advice obtained by the RTO (or their nominee) and a judgement made. The result will be either that the applicant is deemed competent for the unit(s) and a Statement of Attainment issued, or gaps are identified, advised and noted. Where a gap has been identified the applicant can consider the judgement, pursue gap training or appeal the decision. Evidence used in the judgement process is based on the individual’s records of achievement relative to the Competency Standard Units for which recognition is sought.

1.3.04 Assessment Principles within the Electricity Supply Industry - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector

3.4 Assessment Principles within the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector

These assessment practices must satisfy the principles of assessment:

Assessment Principles

Validity

The assessment instruments and tasks must be designed, implemented and administered in a manner which ensures they measure the intended the essential knowledge and associated skills with workplace performance requirement, and the evidence gathered relates directly to the Competency Standard Unit(s) being assessed.

Validity includes the need to involve others with expertise in the assessments being implemented in the development, selection and review of the instruments and methods used in the assessment process.

To be valid the assessment judgements need to be based on more than one task with evidence gathered on a number of occasions and in a variety of contexts or situations.

Reliability

Assessment practices should be in accord with AQTF Standard 9.2 and undergo constant monitoring and review to ensure consistency in the application of process and interpretation of evidence.

RTOs will ensure clear guidelines are available to Assessors to ensure consistent judgements are made based on the evidence provided. Where industry and/or regulatory endorsed training support materials are available, it is recommended that this material is used to support and increase the reliability of assessment. This approach will assist in establishing and maintaining consistency of performance of the essential knowledge and skills and work performance requirements specified in the Competency Standard Units.

Flexibility

The assessment approach should be developed to meet the needs of potential candidates and where appropriate negotiated between the candidate and assessor.

Assessments are to cover both the skill and knowledge components of competency as described in the Competency Standard Units without any one-assessment method being prescribed.

A range of assessment instruments and items should be made available, and where appropriate, the time and place of assessment should be determined to suit the availability of resources, assessors and candidates. However, where supported by the Industry for the purposes of enhancing consistency, the preferred assessment arrangements should be adopted and used.

Fairness

Assessment methods and practices shall be equitable to all individuals.

Candidates will be made aware of the assessment methods and procedures together with details of the criteria against which they are to be assessed.

Specific needs of individual candidates will be accommodated as is practicable and reasonable adjustment is made while maintaining the integrity of the assessment outcomes based on the Competency Standard Unit(s) being assessed.

Currency

The principle to be applied in the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector for currency of evidence is that claims are to be fully substantiated through both direct and supporting assessment processes.

Assessment processes must satisfy the requirement for currency in terms of:

1.	technology and/or processes
2.	recency of application

Regulatory/Context of Assessment

Competency is to be determined on evidence of having consistently performed across a representative range of specified equipment, processes and activities for the scope of work and/or endorsement for which competency is being sought; autonomously and to requirements. Equivalent evidence from other sources, e.g., formal assessment, is also acceptable.

With respect to the essential knowledge and associated skills component of each competency standard unit, assessment activities shall be in accordance with the approach required by the regulatory environment. This may include the use of industry-supported essential knowledge and associated skills learning specifications structured in a conducive learning environment to facilitate the development of depth and breadth of learning, aid in retention and enhance transferability. For this component where graded assessment is a regulatory requirement, it will apply to the underpinning knowledge off-the-job component and not the competency standard unit as a whole. The Industry preference is for a percentile based graded assessment system to be used. Also, although it is preferred that assessing competency be carried out in the workplace, it can be undertaken in a simulated work environment approved for that purpose by the industry. Refer to any Industry policy that may apply in this regard.

Assessment Judgments

Attributing Competency

The deeming of competency shall be based on evidence that is sufficient, current and authentic, so that a quality low risk judgment can be made based on the assessment principles outlined herein.

Competencies shall be attributed on evidence showing that the person deemed to be competent is able to undertake the responsibilities for all safety measures, care of technology, plant and equipment, use of standards, manuals and procedures, and care of the environment, directly related to the work function for which such competencies are required.

Note:
1. Where the consequences of unjustifiably or mistakenly deeming a person competent carries a risk of injury to persons, commerce, or damage to property and/or the environment, the level of evidence required for sufficiency is higher than where there is little risk. The risk of attributing competence to an individual should, therefore, form a critical part of the assessment process and methodology. Consideration should be given as to whether all pre-requisites and/or co requisites have been appropriately achieved.

2. The decision to attribute competence differs from training effort and delivery. The decision to attribute competence is based on evidence being present for an assessor to attribute such and not a person in learning. Learners, however, can undertake training in Competency Standard Units without being awarded the Competency Standard Units even when they may not have acquired in the required sequence any of the pre-requisite Competency Standard Units. However, they cannot be attributed the Competency Standard Unit until they have acquired the pre-requisite.

3. For more detailed information refer to Section 3.9 Guide to Assessment Methods and Items.

Sufficiency of Evidence

In all instances competency is to be attributed on evidence sufficient to show that a person has the necessary skills required for the scope of work. This includes:

Task skills — performing individual tasks

Task management skills — managing a number of different tasks

Contingency management skills — responding to irregularities and breakdowns in routines

Job/role environment skills — dealing with the responsibilities and expectations of the work environment including working with others.

Evidence must demonstrate that an individual can perform competently across the specified range of activities and has the essential knowledge, understanding and associated skills underpinning competency.

Currency of Evidence

Evidence must be relevant to what is outlined in Competency Standard Units and not outdated or irrelevant.

Note: The deeming of competence at a point in time does not mean that competence exists for all time; competency must be maintained by use and/or retraining. Also refer to Section 3.9 Guide to Assessment Methods and Items for more detailed information on currency.

If there has been a recent change in technology, then evidence of actions before such change is unlikely to reflect the required currency. Similarly, if the individual claiming competency has not performed/applied that competency for extensive periods of time then documentary evidence would not suffice as a basis of assessment.

Authenticity

Evidence is to be genuine and relate to the person being assessed, and no one else.

By way of supporting and reinforcing both the concept of competency and the Competency Standard Units as the currency for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system, the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector embraces the following tenets:

Assessment (summative or final) is to include the application of the competency in the normal work environment, or at a minimum, the application of the competency in a realistically simulated work environment.

Simulation must be in accord with any prevailing Industry policy. It is recognised that in some circumstances, assessment may occur outside the workplace, however this should only occur where necessary and in accord with any Industry policy. In relation to this Training Package the Industry Skills Council for ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities, EE-Oz Training Standards, has developed an industry Simulation Policy. This can be accessed from the EE-Oz Training Standards website at: www.ee-oz.com.au.

All persons may claim formal recognition for an assessment of an individual Competency Standard Unit or a group of units.

All persons have the right to have relevant competencies recognised through the most expeditious assessment system and method.

Under-represented groups are not biased from participation and access.

1.3.05 Assessment Processes

3.5 Assessment Processes

Within the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector sampling, profiling and portfolio are recognised as the three main methods of collecting evidence to assist the assessment processes and, while they are not mandatory, they have become accepted and the preferred industry practice. It is not the purpose of these Guidelines to provide an extensive technical description of each of these methods; however, it is important to recognise the impact each will have on the management of assessment practices. Profiling, however, is the Industry-preferred model for new entrant contracted entry-level employment, e.g. apprenticeships. Therefore, an overview of each is provided in this Guideline along with sample templates to assist Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in planning, managing and administering training and assessment delivery.

1. Sampling

Sampling requires evidence of competence to be derived from a limited sample of performance event(s). Technical/application skills are normally assessed by practical measures, and knowledge underpinning performance is assessed, typically in conducive learning environments like classrooms, by conventional written or oral questioning.

2. Profiling

Profiling requires the progressive collection of many samples through structured documentation and progress summative reporting. Progressive monitoring of direct and possibly indirect evidence, over an extended period of time is used to assist in intervention and, making judgements about the developing competency profile of the candidate/learner. The focus of evidence collection is set against the Elements; Range Statement; and critical aspects detailed in the competency standard units and complemented with the level of supervision applied. The evidence collection process is staged against known and predefined work performance outcomes as specified in the Competency standard units. Profiling will assist in obtaining a series of periodical audit assessments and/or a final holistic assessment event where regulatory/licensing requirements apply. Profiling is the preferred industry model that assists with assessment for entry-level contracted employment. Technical educational achievements may be incorporated in the Profiling Model or augment information gathered directly from the workplace into the profile. In the latter case it is preferred that a final summative and holistic assessment event be applied prior to the issuance of the qualification or relevant Statement of Attainment.

3. Portfolio

The Portfolio approach is best suited to assessment conducted as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and is to be in accord with AQTF Standard 8.2 or its replacement/equivalent. It requires the collection or build-up of indirect evidence as to an individual’s competence.

The Portfolio of evidence could include Statements of Attainment issued by other RTOs (Mutual Recognition AQTF Standard 5), suitably focused references and testimonials, formal project appraisals, work records and any other evidence which is current and relevant to the competencies sought.

Opportunities for Combined Approaches

The assessment processes described above are not mutually exclusive and a combination of approaches may be implemented. The process selected will be acceptable to the industry if the outcome is valid, the approach supports industry-wide consistency, the requirements of the Competency Standard Units are satisfied and in accordance with the preferred industry approach and costs are acceptable to the industry.

Assessors, Technical Experts and Workplace Supervisors

Single assessor – Single arrangement

Where an individual assessor conducts the assessment the assessor is required to:

hold formal recognition of competence in the relevant units in the Training Package for Training and Assessment

be deemed competent and, where possible, hold formal recognition of competence in the specific Competency Standard Units in this Training Package, at least to the level being assessed.

In addition, it is recommended by the Industry that the assessor can:

demonstrate current knowledge of the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector, industry practices, and the job or role against which performance is being assessed;

demonstrate current knowledge and skill in assessing against this Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry in a range of contexts.

demonstrate the necessary interpersonal and communication skills required in the assessment process.

continue to meet the requirements of the industry;

ensure assessment is consistent with the Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations;

promote confidence in the system and the assessment outcomes on the part of industry, employers, enterprises, unions, employees, trainees, assessors and trainers;

ensure assessment processes and outcomes are valid, reliable, fair and flexible;

support RTOs in effectively carrying out their responsibilities.

participate in professional development;

have relevant work experience;

participate in professional/industry networks and assessor programs;

have recent planning and review of assessment activities;

participate in assessment validation processes;

have recent assessment and/or workplace training activities.

Partnership Arrangement

Option 1 – Working with a Technical Expert

An assessor works with a technical expert to conduct the assessment. The Assessor is required to hold formal recognition of competence in the relevant units in the Training Package for Training and Assessment.

In addition, it is recommended that the assessor is able to:

demonstrate current knowledge and skill in assessing against this Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry in a range of contexts;

demonstrate capability to assess with a technical expert;

demonstrate the interpersonal and communications skills required in the assessment process.

A technical expert is one that is required to be deemed currently competent and, where possible, hold formal recognition of competence in the specific Competency Standard Units from this Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry, at least to the level being assessed.

In addition, it is recommended that the Technical Expert is able to:

demonstrate current knowledge of the industry, industry practices, and the job or role against which performance is being assessed;

communicate and liaise with the assessor throughout the assessment process.

Option 2 – Working with a Workplace Supervisor

An assessor works with workplace supervisor in collecting evidence for valid assessment.

An assessor is required to:

hold formal recognition of competence in training and assessment in the relevant units in the Training and Assessment Training Package

make the assessment decision.

In addition, it is recommended that the assessor is able to:

demonstrate current knowledge and skill in assessing against this Training Package in a range of contexts

demonstrate a capability to assess using a Workplace Supervisor as a valid and reliable source of evidence collaboration

demonstrate the interpersonal and communication skills required in the assessment process

communicate and liaise, where appropriate, with the workplace supervisor throughout the assessment process.

A workplace supervisor is required to be deemed currently competent and, where possible, is to hold formal recognition of competence in the specific Competency Standard Units from this Training Package at least to the level being assessed.

In addition, it is recommended that the Workplace supervisor is able to:

demonstrate current knowledge of the industry, industry practices, and the job or role against which performance is being assessed

communicate and liaise, where appropriate, with the assessor throughout the assessment process

use agreed practices to gather and record evidence for the assessor to use in making a valid judgement on competency.

Assessment Team/Panel

A team working together to conduct the assessment

Members of an assessment team or panel that comprises assessment and industry experience and expertise works together in the collection of evidence and in making judgements about competency. The members of the team must include at least one person who:

holds formal recognition of competence in training and assessment in the relevant units in the Training and Assessment Training Package

is deemed competent and, where possible, holds formal recognition of competence in the specific Competency Standard Units from this Training Package at least to the level being assessed, and where not technically competent use team/panel members with current technical competence in requisite units;

In addition, it is recommended that members of the team/panel involved in the assessment are able to:

at least one member be currently competent in the specific competency standards units under assessment

demonstrate current knowledge of the industry, industry practices, and the job or role against which performance is being assessed

demonstrate current knowledge and skill in assessing against this Training Package in a range of contexts

demonstrate the interpersonal and communication skills required in the assessment process and liaise with other team/panel members throughout the assessment process.

Assessments against the competencies in the Training Package will be carried out in accordance with these endorsed guidelines. The guidelines include the necessary qualifications for those conducting assessments and provide for those situations where more than one person may contribute to the assessment and where the required technical and assessment competencies may not be held by any one person.

1.3.07 Assessment Tools

3.7 Assessment Tools

This section provides an overview of assessment tools and their suggested use in the industry.

Use of Assessment Tools

Assessment resources provide a means of collecting the evidence that assessors use in making judgements about whether candidates have achieved competency.

In some cases, assessors may use prepared assessment materials, such as those specifically developed to support this Training Package Training and Assessment Advice Manual for the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package UET06, available from EE-Oz Training Standards. Visit the website: (www.ee-oz.com.au). Alternatively they may develop their own assessment materials to meet the needs of their clients by utilising pre-developed training and assessment instruments included in Section 3.8 Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Guidelines for designing assessment materials.

Using Prepared Assessment Tools

If using prepared assessment materials, assessors should ensure that the materials are benchmarked, or mapped, against the current version of the relevant Competency Standard Unit(s) and any industry preferred model and supported by the industry. This can be done by checking that the materials are listed on the National Training Information Service (http://www.ntis.gov.au) or EE-Oz Training Standards (www.ee-oz.com.au). Specific materials on the list have been noted by the National Quality Council (NQC), as meeting the quality criteria for Training Packages.

Developing Assessment Tools

When developing their own assessment materials, assessors must ensure that the tools:

are benchmarked against the selected Competency Standard Unit(s)

are benchmarked against the industry-preferred competency assessment model

are reviewed as part of the validation of assessment strategies as required under AQTF Standard 9.2i of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations

meet the assessment requirements expressed in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularly AQTF Standards 8 and 9.

A key reference for assessors engaged in developing assessment materials is the Training Package for Training and Assessment [TAA04] and Develop assessment tools [TAAASS403A].

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, at minimum, the criteria set out in Standard 8 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations which is reproduced below.

8 RTO Assessments The RTOs assessments meet the requirements of the endorsed components of Training Package and the outcomes specified in accredited courses within the scope of its registration. 8.1 The RTO must ensure that assessments, regardless of whether through a training and assessment pathway or an assessment-only pathway: i comply with the Assessment Guidelines included in the applicable nationally endorsed Training Package 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 Competency Standard Units in the applicable Training Package or any additional information related to knowledge and skills specifications (e.g. modules) prescribed in the applicable accredited course; iii comply with the principles of validity, reliability, fairness and flexibility; 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, and include transferable knowledge and skills to new situations and environments; vi involve the evaluation of sufficient evidence to enable judgements to be made about whether competency has been attained; vii identify issues related to techniques, OHS, language and literacy, cultural diversity, under-represented groups, and employability skills. viii provide for feedback to the applicant about the outcomes of the assessment process and guidance on future options; ix are equitable for all persons, taking account of cultural and linguistic needs; and x provide for reassessment on appeal. 8.2 a The RTO must ensure that RPL is offered to all applicants on enrolment. b The RTO must have a RPL process that: i is structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants; and ii provides adequate information and support to enable applicants to gather reliable evidence to support their claim for recognition of competencies currently held, regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred.

Access and 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 meets means 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 organisation or employer. When assessing people with disabilities, assessors are encouraged to apply good practice assessment methods with sensitivity and flexibility.

1.3.08 Guidelines for Designing Assessment Materials

3.8 Guidelines for Designing Assessment Materials

Assessment Materials are developed, designed and implemented by appropriately authorised and competent assessors. The materials may range from relatively straight forward questions/answers and task tests to quite elaborate simulations for assessing concepts and values. Assessment materials for the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector need to facilitate the process of assessment by:

detailing the personnel and material preparations required to support the assessment process.

establishing and/or confirming the circumstances under which the assessment is to take place.

detailing the evidence to be collected and the method(s) to be used to do this.

providing for the systematic review/analysis of the evidence and for the making of logical and supportable judgments.

providing the means for the recording of the process and the judgments as required and in accordance with any regulatory and/or industry preferred arrangement

providing a basis for post-assessment.

providing counselling and guidance for the candidate.

identify specialist technical advice related to such things as OHS, LLN, environmental and equity matters.

Assessment Material Design Process

a) Determine assessment requirements

Establish assessment requirements. In the development of tools and methods of assessment, the assessor will need to determine the range of methods appropriate to the assessment context and the characteristics of the person being assessed. The assessor may use the following questions when designing the assessment method:

1.	Is the data gathering process sufficient, timely, valid and reliable to ensure the decision about competence relates to the overall requirements of the Unit?

2.	Do you always need to assess real work?

3.	How is the critical evidence specified?

4.	How many assessment tasks are required to collect the critical evidence of competency?

5.	Which assessment tasks will provide broad coverage of the Range Statement?

6.	Are there any skills that the candidate should have or can develop before they are assessed for the Unit?

Identify and select assessment tools/methods. The assessor will be required to identify and select the assessment methods consistent with Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector assessment guidelines and procedures.

b) Develop assessment tools/methods

Design or modify assessment tools. The assessor will be required to design or modify existing assessment tools so that their format, language, literacy and numeracy requirements are appropriate to the characteristics of the assessment context and the person being assessed.

Verify tools. The assessor will need to verify the assessment tools, which maintain validity but are easy to administer, and allow sufficient flexibility to meet the range of possible assessment contexts.

Prepare accompanying instructions. The assessment system/process must be comprehensively and clearly documented so that the stages of assessment and their constituent parts may be observed and evaluated. The assessment materials must relate directly to the Competency Standard Unit or group of units making up a qualification and address the totality of competency in a realistic, holistic and effective way.

c) Trial and review assessment tools

Trial and validate assessment tools. The assessor will be required to trial and validate the assessment methods with a representative group of people similar to those who will ultimately be assessed. Once trials are conducted the assessor will need to seek responses from all parties and compile and analyse these responses.

Evaluate assessment methods. The assessor will evaluate the assessment methods and tools for clarity, reliability, validity, fairness and cost-effectiveness.

Make improvements. The assessor will modify the assessment tools based on the responses to the trials.

Ratify procedures. The assessor ratifies, with relevant people in the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector, procedures of the evidence requirements, assessment methods and assessment tools and the processes used in developing them.

Assessment Material Requirements

Essential requirements to be met by assessment materials include the following:

Assessment of Competency Standard Units. Assessment must directly address the Competency Standard Unit or group of units making up a qualification or skills cluster and, within this, satisfy the critical aspects of evidence including the related performance criteria, Range Statement and essential knowledge and associated skills.

Assessment of practical applications. Summative assessment of practical applications should, whenever possible and practicable, be conducted in a real work environment or in a realistically simulated work environment. Removal of the summative assessment from the real work environment should occur only to the extent necessitated by circumstances such as safety, noise, excessive cost and disruption to equipment operation, and access to the required work.

Learning Outcomes or other curricula documents. Outcomes are not to be the primary focus of summative assessment unless their direct relationship to the Competency Standard Unit(s) is formally approved by industry and recorded.

Assessment of essential theory. Summative assessment of the theory (essential knowledge and associated skills) underpinning competent performance is to be sufficiently rigorous and searching to ensure that individuals comprehend why they are doing something, the options they may use to achieve the required goal, and the fact that they can recall and/or locate and, interpret and transfer this information in varying contexts if it is needed at some other time. Typically, the specific level of depth and breadth the individual is required achieve is contained in industry and RTO sponsored essential knowledge and associated skills learning specifications that are aligned to respective Competency Standard Units.

Assessment of learners with low language/literacy/numeracy skills/under-represented groups. Assessment systems need to be capable of being applied in cases of low language/literacy/numeracy skills/under-represented groups. Reasonable adjustment strategies to address assessment of those with low language, literacy and numeracy skills and under-represented groups should be included in any Assessment Materials used by Registered Training Organisations, and be consistent with the quality assurance requirements of State Training Authorities for registration.

Range of assessment methods and their uses

Types of assessment

A variety of assessment types apply and can be used individual or in combination. These are:

Direct observation. Observe the learner carrying out their usual practical tasks in the workplace. This may be accompanied by questions. Direct observation is probably the easiest and most convenient method of assessment.

Third party reports. Information provided from immediate supervisory or other appropriate persons. An external assessor may not have the opportunity to make multiple observations of a candidate over a period of time, unlike an internal (in-house) assessor. The external assessor may obtain third party reports to supplement an assessment.

Demonstration and questioning. Candidate gives a demonstration of a practical task. If there is no opportunity to observe this competency in the standard work environment, the assessor may ask the candidate to provide a practical demonstration. The assessor can see both the process and the finished product.

Pen and paper tests and essays. These are used to measure the extent of knowledge or may test problem-solving capability. They can compliment practical demonstration.

Oral tests. These can be an adjunct to practical demonstration.

Projects. These tend to be unsupervised. The assessor uses the final product on which to base a judgement.

Simulation. This may involve an off-site practical test. The actual tasks and conditions are similar to real life situations and are in accord with prevailing industry policy enunciated by the Industry Skills Council for the industry. A Simulation Policy has been developed and can be obtained at www.ee-oz.com.

Portfolios. These are used for assessing skills achieved in the past. They can include work samples.

Profiling. Information gathered over time from a structured profiled data entry card and resultant report.

Assessment Methods

Assessment methods must be appropriate to the situation. Learners can be encouraged to use these methods for self-assessment. Combinations of these methods will be required for most situations (e.g. observations and oral questioning).

The recommended assessment methods outlined above, to collect the various kinds of evidence required to determine the candidate’s competency, are:

A — oral questioning

B — structured observation of work

C — indirect supporting evidence (supervisor’s reports)

Not all the methods need to be used. For example, during the assessment period the assessor may find that they don’t need all three methods to collect sufficient evidence. The assessor may also plan to use other, equally valid, combinations of assessment methods.

It is recommended that assessors use open questions in conjunction with direct observations to assess the candidate’s ability to:

apply relevant knowledge to the particular task.

perform the required tasks safely and efficiently.

handle unforeseen contingencies and circumstances.

recognise and solve problems associated with the whole job (which may not necessarily occur during the assessment).

It is recommended that supervisor’s reports or verified calculations are used to confirm that workplace job activities have been completed on time and meet the required specifications. This is particularly relevant when the assessor may not be present for the total duration of the workplace job activity and/or the learner/candidate works as part of a team.

More information is also contained in section 3.10 Guide to assessment methods and items.

1.3.09 Sample assessment instruments to support training and assessment material design

3.9 Sample assessment instruments to support training and assessment material design

Information related to assessment material design, training and assessment activities, and sample assessment materials against competency standard units in this Training Package is included in Appendix B — Sample assessment instruments to support training and assessment material design.

1.3.10 Guide to Assessment Methods and Items

3.10 Guide to Assessment Methods and Items

(Informative)

Methods chosen for a particular assessment will be influenced by various factors. These include the extent of the assessment, the most effective locations for the assessment activities to take place, access to physical resources, additional safety measures that may be required and the critical nature of the competencies being assessed.

The critical safety nature of working with electricity and electrical equipment carries risk in deeming a person competent. Hence, sources of evidence need to be ‘rich’ in nature so as to minimise error in judgment.

Activities associated with normal every day work have a bearing on the decision as to how much and how detailed the data gathered will contribute to its ‘richness’. Some skills are more critical to safety and operational requirements while the same skills may be more or less frequently practiced. These points are raised for the assessors to consider when choosing an assessment method and developing assessment instruments. These considerations can be summarised as follows:

Irrespective of these considerations the assessment methods and instruments used should satisfy the conditions associated with sufficiency, currency, authenticity, validity, reliability, and be holistic in nature.

The following Table F.1 – Guide to Assessment Methods and Items provides a summary of assessment methods in common use and the situations in which they may apply.

1.3.11 Guidelines for Conducting Assessments

3.11 Guidelines for Conducting Assessments

The following describes the industry-preferred process for conducting assessments against the Competency Standard Unit(s) in this Training Package. This process applies to all assessments conducted for the purposes of national recognition in both institutional and workplace contexts.

Assessment within the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector is to be carried out by a Qualified Assessor who will have been trained in the conduct of assessment. The main issues to be satisfied during the conduct of assessment include the following:

Assessment should be planned, arranged and organised well in advance of the event/process.

The candidate should be involved in the planning and preparation so that their readiness and availability is assured, and their advice on evidence collection opportunities may be considered.

The environment within which assessment is to occur is acceptable to the parties and conducive to the assessment process.

The Assessor’s actions throughout the process are firm, fair, friendly and unambiguous.

Specific rulings on safety breaches are explained up-front and acted on in accordance with the assessment materials.

The assessment process should contain no surprises for any party.

Feedback is provided as required throughout the assessment process.

Post assessment activities including recording, reporting, counselling etc. are finalised promptly.

Candidates will invariably be accepting of the outcomes of an assessment process in which:

they consider they were treated fairly, consistently and with dignity.

they were given the full opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities.

the reasons for the assessment decisions were appropriate, logical and constructively explained.

the assessment judgements are conveyed in a sensitive and constructive manner.

The following provides an overview for assessment within the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector. It outlines the process involved in conducting assessment in both the institutional and workplace context, and consists of three major components that each assessor will need to do:

Prepare for Assessment

The assessor:

establishes the context and purpose of the assessment

identifies the relevant Competency Standard Unit(s), assessment guidelines and qualification framework in this Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry including the relevant performance measures applying to assessment

identifies any NTQC noted support materials that have been developed to facilitate the assessment process

analyses the competency standards and identifies the evidence requirements

identifies potential evidence collection methods

identifies issues related to techniques, OHS, language and literacy, cultural diversity, under-represented groups and employability skills. Prepare the Candidate

The assessor meets with the candidate to:

discuss and confirm the purpose of assessment with the candidate and where appropriate, the employer

explain the context and purpose of the assessment and the assessment process;

explain the competency standards to be assessed and the evidence to be collected and ensure the candidate has access to the relevant competency standards and other relevant information;

explain and obtain agreement to the assessment procedure

advise on self-assessment, including processes and criteria;

outline the assessment procedure, the preparation the candidate should undertake, and answer any questions.

assess the needs of the candidate and, where applicable, negotiate reasonable adjustment for assessing people with disabilities without compromising the integrity of the competencies;

seek feedback regarding the candidate's understanding of the Competency Standard Unit(s), evidence requirements and assessment process;

determine if the candidate is ready for assessment and, in consultation with the candidate, decide on the time and place of the assessment;

develop an assessment plan.

discusses the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector and enterprise assessment policy with the candidate (they need to understand how the competencies to be assessed will fit in with the Industry training policy and preferred framework or enterprise arrangements for training and assessment. The assessor should also understand what the candidate has done to acquire the knowledge and skills).

Plan and Prepare Evidence-Gathering Process

Practical assessment should preferably be conducted on site. However, if on-site practical assessment is not possible then off-site assessment at a mutually agreeable site could be appropriate. It can be part of the current work (i.e. observation of current tasks) or a demonstration (i.e. a simulated task).

The assessor must:

establish a plan for gathering sufficient quality evidence about the candidate's performance in order to make the assessment decision (and involve industry representatives in the development of plans for the validation of assessment)

identify opportunities to gather evidence of competence which occurs as part of the workplace activities;

ensure the planned approach to gathering evidence will provide sufficient, reliable, valid and fair evidence of competence

source or develop assessment materials to assist in the evidence gathering process.

choose the techniques that will be used to assess the candidate’s knowledge and skill;

organise equipment or resources required to support the evidence gathering process.

check the assessment environment permits fair, valid and reliable assessment and that it is safe and accessible;

inform other relevant people of assessment plans, coordinate and brief other personnel involved in the evidence gathering process;

identify the need to gather additional evidence which may not occur as part of workplace activities; and

considers issues related to techniques, OHS, language and literacy, cultural diversity, under-represented groups and employability skills..

Collect the Evidence and Make Assessment Decisions

The assessor must:

establish and oversee the evidence gathering process to ensure its validity, reliability, fairness, flexibility and consistency.;

collect appropriate evidence and assess this against the Elements, Performance Criteria, Range Statement and Evidence Guide in the relevant Competency Standard Unit(s)

evaluate evidence in terms of the four dimensions of competency - task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills, and job/role environment skills

incorporate allowable adjustments to the assessment procedure without compromising the integrity of the competencies;

evaluate the evidence in terms of validity, consistency, currency, equity, authenticity and sufficiency;

gathers evidence related to techniques, OHS, language and literacy, cultural diversity, under-represented groups, key competencies and skills enabling employment;

consult and work with other staff, assessment panel members or technical experts involved in the assessment process;

document the evidence gathered in accordance with the assessment procedure and record details of evidence collected;

make a judgement about the candidate's competency based on the evidence and the relevant Competency Standard Unit(s) and the criteria specified in the assessment procedure.

Provide Feedback on the Assessment

The assessor must provide advice to the candidate about the outcomes of the assessment process. This includes providing the candidate with:

clear and constructive feedback on the assessment decision

information on ways of overcoming any identified gaps in competency revealed by the assessment

the opportunity to discuss the assessment process and outcome

information on reassessment and the appeals process.

Record and Report Results

The assessor must:

record the assessment outcome according to the policies and procedures of the RTO

maintain records of the assessment procedure, evidence collected and the outcome according to the policies and procedures of the RTO

maintain the confidentiality of the assessment outcome

organise the issuing of qualifications and/or Statements of Attainment according to the policies and procedures of the RTO.

Review Assessment Process

On completion of the assessment process, the assessor must:

review the assessment process

report on the positive and negative features of the assessment to those responsible for the assessment procedures

if necessary, suggest to appropriate personnel in the RTO ways of improving the assessment procedures.

Participate in the Reassessment and Appeals Process

The assessor must:

provide feedback and counsel the candidate, if required, regarding the assessment outcome or process, including guidance on further options

provide the candidate with information on the reassessment and appeals process

report any disputed assessment decision to the appropriate personnel in the RTO

participate in the reassessment or appeal according to the policies and procedures of the RTO.

Review and Maintenance of the Assessment System

The developer and custodian, EE-Oz Training Standards of this Training Package which contains the vocational standards for industry is responsible for the ongoing monitoring and review of these Assessment Guidelines. This process will be incorporated in the general review and maintenance of this Training Package.

1.3.12 Maintenance of Assessment Guidelines

3.12 Maintenance of Assessment Guidelines

The Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Assessment Guidelines were developed by, and are therefore owned by the industry.

The Assessment Guidelines must be maintained so that it reflects the ongoing needs of the Industry sector and responds in a timely manner to changed technologies, work organisation, skills development and related circumstances.

Responsibility for maintaining of the Assessment Guidelines is shared by the parties who constitute the sector:

Assessment Guidelines maintenance will be coordinated and managed by EE-Oz Training Standards in its role as a declared Industry Skills Council for ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities

Suggestions and proposals for changes from all parties are welcome. These should be documented and submitted to EE-Oz Training Standards the DEEWR declared Industry Skills Council for the ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry.

1.3.15 Appendix A - Australian Apprenticeships

Appendix A — Australian Apprenticeships

New Apprenticeships are work related competency programs designed for entry-level contracted employment for new entrants to the industry. All qualifications in this Training Package could be open to use as New Apprenticeships and are governed by State/Territory Training Authority arrangements and their limitations.

New Apprenticeships offer both employers and employees:

relevant training

a range of support service arrangements.

They typically involve paid work and structured training and are underpinned by a training contract, which is registered with the relevant State/Territory Training Authority. Completion of the competency development program leads to an AQF qualification.

In some instances, and subject to any relevant State/Territory Training Authority arrangements, existing non-apprenticed workers may be eligible for New Apprenticeship opportunities. Inquiries with the relevant State/Territory Training Authority should be made in this regard.

Like traditional apprenticeships, Australian Apprenticeships involve a commitment from:

the employer to provide an environment for systematic training of the Australian Apprentice

the Australian Apprentices to apply themselves to learning the requirements of their vocation

a Registered Training Organisation (RTO)1 to be responsible for providing the vocational education, training and assessment support services and the eventual issuing of a national qualification

1 For more information on RTOs see DEST’s 2005 Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, effective from 1 July 2005 publication.

In the Electricity Supply Industry - Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector, Australian Apprenticeships are available for all the qualifications outlined in this Training Package. Australian Apprentices seeking one of the national qualifications will be required to undergo a training program or course of study that involves learning and assessment activities. The related learning and assessment activities are documented and involve:

the employer

the employee

the RTO.2

2 TAFE Institutions, Universities with TAFE sectors, Skills Centres and similar enterprises that can deliver vocational training are eligible to become RTOs.

On successful completion of the training program or course of study an RTO will issue the Australian Apprentice a national qualification.

Entry Requirement

Under Australian Apprenticeships, the employer is able to determine the relevant employment criteria for recruiting a new entrant into the Electricity Supply Industry. The choice, however, is usually dependent on enterprise employment practices and needs including requirements that may be imposed by relevant regulations and codes of practice.

There is, however, a common set of attributes/profiles that are industry preferred for the recruiting of Australian Apprentices. Some of the more common ones are:

Any person aged 15 years or more can apply for a Australian Apprenticeship.

Most employers require applicants who have completed at least Year 10 of a secondary school education program.

Employers customarily prefer applicants who have successfully completed Years 11 or 12 of a secondary school education program or a post secondary education pre-employment course.

Potential entrants should be aware that employers are looking for the following personal attributes:

effective numeracy and literacy skills

effective communications skills

acceptable presentation

punctuality

a positive attitude

interest in the industry as a career

ability to work at heights or in confined spaces and around moving machinery

ability to distinguish between colours.

For entry-level employment based contracted training Australian Apprenticeships the composition of the relevant qualification needs to be determined in accordance with the completion requirements detailed here and be subsequently agreed to between the respective parties.

General principles regarding the composition of qualifications are as follows:

Competency Standard Units making up a qualification must be appropriate to the work being performed and be performed by the person seeking the qualification

Competency Standard Units making up a qualification must be appropriate to the level and integrity of the qualification sought.

The terms and conditions for employment based entry-level contracted training require a training agreement or contract, which will be provided by State or Territory Training Authorities. Such an agreement is called an Apprenticeship/Traineeship Training Contract, which requires parties to the contract to select the appropriate qualification, Competency Standard Units and to adopt an industry-preferred model or design a new training plan/program. Additionally, the responsibilities of the parties to the contract will be contained therein.

The employment of an Apprentice (sometimes also called a Trainee) by an Employer is subject to the relevant legislation and any applicable industrial instrument, order or determination made under that related Statutory Act. Appropriate information should be obtained from relevant authorities in this regard.

General principles governing the Competency Development Program

Consultation between the RTO, the employer and apprentice/trainee will have occurred and agreement reached on the Competency Development Program that will be delivered. Typically the RTO will adopt the industry-preferred approach where regulatory arrangements are in place or design an appropriate program in concert with the Industry. The apprentice/trainee would be expected to undertake the Competency Development Program in order to attain competence in the given qualification.

The Competency Development Program

A training contract provides a description of the process for undertaking training during the life of the program. This is developed in consultation with the RTOs.

The Training Program

1.	Expected duration of workplace program in hours

The training program will detail the anticipated duration in hours that the apprentice/trainee is expected to undertake in order to gain the necessary competencies. Information regarding the suggested nominal duration for respective AQF levels of Australian Apprenticeships is available from respective parties and includes EE-Oz Training Standards. The training plan will outline the requisite on and off-the-job arrangements that apply to it.

2.	On-the-job skills development program

In consultation with the apprentice/trainee and employer, the RTO would outline how it intends to monitor the on-the-job component, i.e. providing advice on how evidence is to be gathered when the apprentice/trainee is in the workplace. Apprentices/trainees are expected to assist RTOs in gathering and submitting workplace evidence as per the industry-preferred approach. This is particularly important where regulatory arrangements are in place. RTOs in turn monitor the performance of the apprentice/trainee and provide appropriate feedback to them and the employer.

3.	Off-the-job skills development program

The training contract will detail, where applicable, the off-the-job (technical education) program the RTO will deliver in order to gain the necessary underpinning skills and knowledge. This is typically a program preferred by the industry undertaken by the apprentice/trainee. For example where modules or essential knowledge and associated skills strategies apply, the number, title and duration of each will generally be advised. This will also include the expected duration of the technical educational program in hours.

Typical duration — Australian Apprenticeships

In developing this Training Package due regard has been given, by industry, to a range of influencing factors associated with the typical period of employment and related training for individuals seeking a qualification, using the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). In developing such, regard has also been given to the NTQC policy on providing industry advice on this matter.

As a general rule it is expected, that by employing the respective techniques and processes detailed in the preferred and adopted industry training model, those employed and undertaking training to satisfy the outcomes of Competency Standard Units, as new entry-level recruits, will take a "nominal duration" of employment to complete. EE-Oz Training Standards has developed industry advice in relation to the nominal duration of employment to assist users in their activities. Detailed information on typical new apprentice durations, at each of the AQF levels is available from EE-Oz Training Standards. This detail can be obtained directly from EE-Oz Training Standards or found on the EE-Oz Training Standards website at www.ee-oz.com.au. Additionally, more specific information may be contained within any related support materials that may exist as non-endorsed components of this Training Package and in particular the industry-preferred training plan applicable to each qualification.

Nominal duration of training is generally defined by State, Territory and Federal Training Authorities policies and/or regulations. Typically these are set out in State/Territory Training Package Implementation Guides. Interested State/Territory parties should ensure they refer to the relevant Training Package Implementation Guide. These can be accessed via the respective State/Territory Training Authority websites.

1.3.16 Appendix B - Sample Assessment Instruments

Appendix B — Sample Assessment Instruments

These instruments are designed to Support Training and Assessment Material Design

This Appendix provides advisory and sample information for assessment material design against Competency Standard Units in this Training Package. It is principally about training and assessment activities that can be used to benchmark quality outcomes.

It provides information about assessment material design and other resources available to support implementation of the Training Package. The information contained herein shows how these resources relate to the workplace and where they can be obtained. It includes sample assessment tools (sample instruments) developed to assist those involved in benchmarking their activities for gathering evidence about workplace activities and workplace experiences for training and assessment purposes.

Sample assessment instruments included were developed for documenting workplace experiences related to the requirements of this Training Package. The assessment strategies and instruments are primarily for use as advisory information for workplace assessors and/or their agents (workplace supervisors or technical experts) who may be employees of Registered Training Organisations or enterprises.

A number of terms used refer to aspects of implementing the Training Package. A Glossary of Terms (see Appendix A) is included to clarify the specific meaning of these terms.

This Appendix should be read in conjunction with the following publications:

The respective volumes of this Training Package

Training Package for Training and Assessment TAA04

Training Acts and Regulations in the relevant Australian State or Territory

Policies of the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) involved with training and assessment for the Industry.

Sources of Education, Training and Assessment Information

This section shows how the Training Package and associated resources relate to recruitment, training, assessment and recognition activities which may be undertaken by Industry, enterprises and/or Registered Training Organisations.

This section also introduces a competency development and/or recognition model based on combined on and off-the-job training, as well as a model that allows individuals to have previous learning and work experience recognised.

Combined on and off-the-job competency development model

The model shown below is a simplified version of the detailed contracted new entry level industry-preferred competency development model which combines on and off-the-job education, training and assessment leading to competent performance. A detailed copy of the model is available from EE-Oz Training Standards website at www.ee-oz.com. This model recognises that learning occurs as a result of:

experience in recurring workplace events

directed workplace learning activities

structured off-the-job essential knowledge and associate skills technical educational activities.

Competency Development Model

This model is structured around a new entry level learner undertaking a full competency development program. The model can also accommodate the assessment of prior learning within the continuum of new entrant to competent. In this way it is consistent with the Assessment Pathways outlined in this Assessment Guidelines part of the Training Package.

New Entrant Training and Assessment Materials and Resource Design and Development

In designing training and assessment materials and resources to support new entrant competency development consideration should be given to the preferred Industry approach to learner development. The concept model detailed on the next page explores how training and assessment materials and resources may be best developed for one or many Competency Standard Units. RTOs using this approach ensure increased consistency in meeting the specifications in learning and work performance against the Competency Standard Units, and in developing the learner in a cost effective way with little disruption to the day-to-day operation of the workplace. It also assures that a learner having completed aspects of, but not the full array of, Competency Standard Unit(s), can be accorded information that is sufficient to warrant recognition for learning content (Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills) that is transferable to other environments in the Industry.

EKAS LS – Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills Learning Specifications = where EKAS LS 1 — may cover many units, EKAS LS 2 — may cover a number of units, EKAS LS 5 — may cover several units, and/or EKAS LS 11 – may be unique to the unit (refer to Volume 1 Part 2 and Volume 2 Part 2 for more detail)

Recognition of Prior Learning/Experience Model

A typical process for candidates seeking to have their prior experiences recognised within the model is shown in the following diagram.

Learning and Assessment strategies

The skills and knowledge required by a competent worker are described in terms of Competency Standard Units. To be assessed as ‘competent’, against competency standards, individuals need to demonstrate they have achieved the requisite workplace functions and have also acquired the specified essential knowledge and associated skills (EKAS) underpinning performance.

A candidate wishing to be assessed against a specific competency standard unit(s) must be assessed by a qualified assessor. The assessor must use assessment processes, methods and tools which are in line with this Training Package.

Assessment involves gathering evidence to demonstrate that an individual has the necessary essential knowledge and associated skills required by the specified competency standard(s) together with requisite work performance. This may include assessment of knowledge and skills obtained through educational courses as well as through application of knowledge and skills in the workplace using workplace processes, equipment and activities.

Assessment Planning

Good planning of workplace assessment is most important. The plan is to be based on a suitable process that is in line with the Competency Unit — TAAASS401A Plan and organise assessment from the Training and Assessment Training Package. Assessors need to address the following components of competence in Training Package TAA04, which cover:

establishing evidence requirements for a specific context

establishing suitable assessment methods

developing assessment tools appropriate to a specific assessment context

trialling assessment procedure.

The Assessment Process

The general process for assessing competence is shown in the following diagram.

Assessors need to adapt the process to take account of physical and operational conditions as well as the characteristics and background of the candidate being assessed. Once the process has been finalised, the candidate should be advised.

The Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package identify three assessment pathways for the Industry, as follows:

Pathway 1: For new entrants to the industry

Pathway 2: Recognition of prior learning of those with experience in the Industry

Pathway 3: Recognition of equivalent Competency Standards Units from other Industry Training Packages

Pathway 3 can be incorporated within the Pathway 2 processes and activities.

Establishing the Evidence Requirements

The Training Packages provides a clear statement regarding the evidence requirements in the Evidence Guide and in particular the critical aspects of evidence of each competency standard unit. The following is an extract from one competency standard unit.

‘Critical aspects of evidence

Before the critical aspects of evidence are considered all pre-requisites shall be met.

Evidence for competence in this unit shall be considered holistically. Each element and associated performance criteria shall be demonstrated on at least two occasions in accordance with the ‘Assessment Guidelines – UET09’. Evidence shall also comprise:

A representative body of performance criteria demonstrated within the timeframes typically expected of the discipline, work function and industrial environment. In particular this shall incorporate evidence that shows a candidate is able to:

Implement Occupational Health and Safety workplace procedures and practices including the use of risk control measures as specified in the performance criteria and range

Apply sustainable energy principles and practices as specified in the performance criteria and range

Demonstrate an understanding of the essential knowledge and associated skills as described in this unit to such an extent that the learner’s performance outcome is reported on the preferred approach; namely a percentile graded result.

Demonstrate an appropriate level of employability skills.

Conduct work observing the relevant Anti Discrimination legislation, regulations, policies and workplace procedures and

Demonstrated performance across a representative range of contexts from the prescribed items below: (Example shown)

A — Selecting correct tools and testing equipment.
B — Identifying visual non-compliance defects
C — Using effective methods for conducting mandatory and optional tests
D — Identifying non-compliance from test results.
E — Identifying causes of non-compliance.
F — Completing mandatory reporting.
G — Dealing with unplanned events by drawing on essential knowledge and skills to provide appropriate solutions incorporated in the holistic assessment with the above listed items’

The evidence on which competency in this unit is deemed shall be considered holistically. ‘Items’ of evidence that industry has deemed critical and that also relate directly to the Performance Criteria and Range Statements could include:

Specific tools, plant and equipment.

Specific testing techniques

Any advice limiting assessment to actual workplaces, for example because of licensing, regulatory or unique infrastructure requirements

Specific licensing and regulatory requirements.

Any advice dealing with unexpected and non-routine contingencies by drawing on essential knowledge and skills to provide appropriate solutions incorporated in a holistic assessment.

Assessment Methods

Assessment involves determining whether a candidate has provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they have a specified level of skills and knowledge which they can apply in their work environment.

The evidence provided may include, for example:

work activity records

a transcript of training outcomes

a portfolio of learning experiences

a self-assessment by the candidate against the relevant competency standard(s).

supervisor’s report(s), addressing requirements of the identified competency standard(s).

practical demonstration.

details of training undertaken linked to requirements of the identified competency standard(s), such as a profiling or ‘many samples’ reports

outcomes of a challenge test.

The assessor may use a variety of assessment methods to gather evidence. Appropriate methods for documenting workplace experiences related to this Training Package are:

on-the-job work observation

practical exercises in the workplace or under simulated workplace conditions

appraisal and report by a supervisor/trainer or colleague

questioning and discussion with the candidate

written/practical test

any Industry Skills Council equivalence mapping declaration for Competency Standard Units held from other Industry Training Packages

Develop the Assessment Tools

The assessment tools include:

instruments for gathering evidence — samples included as Enclosure A
in Appendix A

forms for administrating the process — samples included as Enclosure B
in Appendix A

assessment design materials Glossary of Terms — included Enclosure C
in Appendix A.

Trial the Assessment Procedure

It is very important to trial the assessment strategy. There is a need to make sure it is appropriate to the context in which the assessment is conducted. This will involve such things as:

Focus on the specific requirements of the competency standard unit being assessed.

Consideration of the characteristics and background of the person being assessed to make sure the assessor supports the candidate in their understanding of the process and the skills and knowledge that need to be demonstrated.

Use of assessment methods and instruments to make sure the evidence gathered:

- addresses the conditions required to meet the Critical Aspects of Evidence as outlined in this Training Package and related Competency Standard Units

- is drawn from a variety of sources and reflects the required range of work circumstances

- provides reasonable certainty that the evidence submitted is sufficient, current and authentic.

The selection and application of assessment tools is a decision made by assessors. There is no standard answer, however the following is provided as general guidance.

Assessors need only gather enough evidence so they can make a judgment that competence has been demonstrated. Too much evidence may be difficult to analyse in a consistent manner, whereas insufficient evidence fails to satisfy the assessment criteria.

Assessors need to adjust or modify the assessment processes and tools as required, within the constraints of achieving a valid, reliable and fair outcome.

Assessors need to make sure assessment procedures satisfy the principles of assessment (validity; reliability; flexibility; fairness).

Assessors need to be cognisant and use the industry-preferred assessment approach, as a first option.

Enclosure A1 — Work Activity Records

Work Activity Records may be produced in paper-based or in electronic form. Each Work Activity Record may relate to a group of Competency Standards or if need be a Competency Standard Unit.

The activities and experiences recorded in this mode mostly relate to recurring workplace events associated with elements of performance involving exposure to a range of plant, tools, equipment, components and operating systems that are representative of normal work activities. Activities such as these, under appropriate levels of supervision, are important to a candidate’s development.

Such records provide valuable data for:

Candidates and their supervisor’s to track progress in acquiring work-based competencies.

Assessors to make decisions about a candidate’s level of competence.

Work Activity Records summarise:

relevant activities – (elements) and jobs/tasks undertaken at work

associated resources used (such as tools, plant/equipment, procedures, and operating systems)

the period of exposure to each type of task

the level of supervision provided in the workplace.

This type of record is completed by the Candidate in conjunction with their Supervisor and signed by this Supervisor. It is important that workplace experiences are documented by candidates to help them see how their work experience is developing respective skills and knowledge specified in the relevant Competency Standard Units. Assessors, as a result of the records, can easily analyse them to determine if:

exposure to the desired workplace activities has occurred

the level of supervision is in keeping with the degree of autonomy required by the Competency Standard Unit

the learner is able to perform ‘whole of job’ activities.

The ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry Skills Council trading as EE-Oz Training Standards has a model paper based document that candidates can use to record their workplace activities and experiences. The document is called a User Guide. It is formatted in a way that links workplace activities to Competency Standard Units.

More information, including User Guides and techniques for recording workplace experiences electronically are available from the EE-Oz Training Standards at website: www.ee-oz.com.au.

Enclosure A2 — Transcript of Training Outcomes

Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills (EKAS) Learning Specifications and related results using training modules/topics/subjects that are completed off-the-job develop an individual’s technical underpinning knowledge and skill. This may apply where the Industry expects such due to the regulated or preferred nature of work.

These learning specifications provide the learner with the essential underpinning knowledge and associated skills required to:

deal with both routine and non-routine technical activities

readily adapt their skills when new technologies are introduced

transfer skills to new work environments.

The Registered Training Organisation (RTO) who is issuing the credential can generally provide current information about an individual’s progress in the essential knowledge and associated skills or mapped modules/topics/subjects.

Learners that have undertaken a recognised structured training program with an RTO should submit a formal transcript – "Statement of Results" (training outcomes) from the issuing RTO as evidence, for inclusion in the process of competency assessment.

Candidates seeking recognition of prior learning need to provide evidence of knowledge and skills equivalent to the content of the essential knowledge and associated skills specifications (modules/topics/subjects), detailed in the Competency Standard Units in which they are being assessed as well as their workplace experiences if competence is sought in the Competency Standard Unit(s). Applicants for recognition of prior learning may also seek advice from the Registered Training Organisation about the equivalence status of available evidence of their acquired knowledge and skills.

The ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Industry Skills Council trading as EE-Oz Training Standards at www.ee-oz.com.au can provide advice in regard to the availability of the essential knowledge and associated skills learning specifications for training modules/topics/subjects, which have been aligned to respective Competency Standard Units and essential knowledge and associated skills clauses.

Enclosure A3 — Portfolio

A portfolio is a collection of documents that demonstrate an individual’s professional experiences and achievements in relation to identified competency standards. Typically, portfolios include information from a variety of sources including academic achievements, employment record, work activities, supervisor reports and references.

The candidate should prepare their own portfolio as an accurate reflection of their work and academic history and achievements.

Assessors advise candidates about the amount, type and format of evidence they should submit for assessment against identified Competency Standard Units.

The use of a Portfolio as an assessment instrument can be enhanced by the use of the Self-analysis form included as Enclosure A4.

Enclosure A4 — Self Analysis

A self-analysis involves the candidate in assessing their own level of skills and knowledge acquired through work experience and relevant training programs.

Candidates should complete a Self-Analysis Form in relation to each competency standard being assessed, identifying the evidence they can provide to demonstrate each required component of their skills and knowledge.

Assessors can check the references to determine if the evidence provided links directly or indirectly to the requirements outlined in Competency Standard Units and use this data as part of the overall assessment process.

Typically, the self-analysis form would be used for a Pathway 2 Assessment, however, it could have application in a Pathway 1 Assessment in certain circumstances.

Self-Analysis Application Form

This form allows the candidate to summarise their vocational experiences in relation to a particular Competency Standard Unit or a group of Competency Standard Units. The information provided is used to identify the list of competencies sought for assessment. They will need to support their responses to questions, claims and/or comments with authentic evidence. To do this, it is recommended that they develop a portfolio of evidence to be submitted with this self-analysis application form. They should be advised to cross reference the information they provide with the information provided in their Portfolio.

They must however, be provided with clear instructions about the information required before they complete each respective form. They also need to view and understand the detailed requirements of the Competency Standard Unit(s) against which they are seeking assessment. A workplace assessor should assist them with the instructions and details.

They may need to submit a separate Self-Analysis Form for each Competency Standard Unit(s) for which they are seeking recognition. The Self-Analysis Application Form could be like the sample provided below.

Sample — Self-Analysis Application Form

Enter the codes and title of the National Qualification

Enclosure A5 — Candidates Exposure to Range Statement

This assessment instrument augments other information needed for judging competence and, where required, should be completed by the candidate to provide a list of components, tools, systems, plant, test equipment and associated items outlined in the Range Statement in individual Competency Standard Units. As the Range Statement is a component part of the whole Competency Standard Unit(s) assessors should ensure the gathering of evidence by the candidate is considered a formative part of the assessment process and that once the evidence is presented a holistic approach to judging and attributing competence is exercised in conjunction with other related data.

A separate form is required for each Competency Standard Unit to be assessed. The assessor should complete the following parts of this form in conjunction with the candidate to make sure they are clear about what is required:

Competency standard units Title and Unit Number

Candidate’s Name

Date

Range Statement - Item Group:
Please consult the Range Statement as described in section Establishing the evidence requirements of this Document. Each group alpha character is to represent an appropriate ‘group’ of variables, such as ‘components’, ‘tools’, ‘system’, ‘plant, ‘processes’, ‘equipment’ etc, as required by the particular competency standard.

Range Statement Items Involved:
Please list the particular items that have been predetermined as being ‘Critical’ from the critical aspects of evidence section when the evidence requirements were established (see Establishing the evidence requirements).

The candidate is to place a tick in the column against those items they have been exposed to in a work environment. Candidate should add to the list of items involved, where appropriate. Here is an example.

Enclosure A6 — Supervisor’s Report

Typically, the ‘supervisor’ (mentor) approached to provide a report for competency assessment will have spent considerable time guiding or monitoring the candidate in his/her development by providing supervised workplace learning experiences, appropriate to the candidate’s ability.

Supervisors should be asked to comment on the candidate’s demonstrated ability to:

Demonstrate specific skills as described in the respective aspects of the Competency Standard Units under assessment.

Apply required essential underpinning knowledge and associated skills (e.g. as learnt in their technical studies) to the work undertaken.

Work in a team or independently in a way that is productive and safe.

Comments made by the candidate’s supervisor/mentor are an important source of evidence for assessors.

The Supervisor's Report can be completed as part of the pre-assessment planning process or during any other part of the process. More than one supervisor can provide information.

Assessors should make sure supervisors are clear about the specific detailed requirements of the Electricity Supply Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Competency Standards targeted for assessment.

Enclosure A8 — Questioning

It may be necessary as part of the assessment process, to gather additional evidence to clarify specific aspects of competence, especially in relation to the associated performance criteria. The RTO Assessor (or their nominee) may need to ask questions of the candidate, their supervisor or their trainer. A form is provided in this enclosure for documenting their responses.

The form provides guidelines for questioning a candidate about the performance criteria related to each element of competence. Typically, the elements in each of the Competency Standard Units in this Training Package follow a similar structure. Principally they generally cover planning for, carrying out and completing the job function.

In this section of the Document you will also find two tables which provide guidelines for assessing a candidate’s response to these questions.

If the assessment is formative (as part of a training process) then the response given by the candidate should be consistent with the ‘Appropriate coverage to questions – level 1’.

If the assessment is summative (final) the responses should be consistent with the ‘Appropriate coverage to questions – level 2’.

Note to assessors:

1.	As Competency Standard Units are typically structured around PLAN  CARRY OUT  COMPLETE jobs in the workplace, the form for recording responses is generic.

2.	Please make reasonable adjustments to the form as required to accommodate particular aspects of individual Competency Standard Units.

Enclosure A9 — Practical Demonstration

As part of evidence provided to demonstrate competence against detailed competency standards, you, the assessor, may need to observe the candidate demonstrating practical tasks. The Engineering Practical Skills Form is provided here to help assessors record these work-based observations. The notes taken are analysed and from this a rating is given for the candidates engineering skills.

Note to assessors:

The form for recording responses is generic to all Competency Standard Units.

Make reasonable adjustments to the form as required to accommodate particular aspects of individual Competency Standard Units.

You may only need to observe candidates on particular (not all) elements of competence.

If the assessment is formative (for feedback purposes), then the level of supervision that applies during work activities should apply during the assessment activity.

Instructions for Completing the Engineering Practical Skills Form

The form provides a means of recording information about a learner’s engineering practice. A workplace assessor (or nominee) does this by an observation of pre-arranged activities and determining an engineering skills rating.

Step 1

Enter the title of the Competency Standard Unit and the Unit Number in the space provided.

Step 2

Enter the learner’s name in the space provided.

Step 3

Enter the name of the person who is completing the form (this may be the assessor or someone who the assessor nominates to gather the information).

Step 4

Enter the date on which the evidence is gathered.

Step 5

Determine the elements of competence being observed (circle yes or no).

Step 6

Determine the level of supervision that is to apply to the Elements being observed. Use the Supervision Level code from the bottom left of the form (A, B or C) and enter in the second column.

Step 7

Observe the learner perform tasks related to the element(s) being assessed, checking that they address the required Performance Criteria. Record in the first column of the table under the heading ‘Notes from Observation’ key points to indicate whether the learner:

Has acted in a way that meets specifications required by manufacturers, regulations or client specifications.

Has followed established enterprise procedures.

Met the requirements of the Competency Standard being assessed.

Needed to be shown or told how to perform tasks beyond what is reasonably expected given his/her level of experience and therefore requires further training.

Step 8

Using the Engineering Skills Rating codes at the bottom right of the table, enter the appropriate letter in the space provided to indicate the level of competence demonstrated in relation to the Competency Standard being assessed.

From all the evidence presented a holistic judgement is then made.

Enclosure A10 — Final/Challenge Test

A test may be required if the assessment process does not provide:

sufficient, authentic or current evidence

particular aspects of evidence related to equipment operation

particular aspects related to safety

all the requirements related to the influence of external bodies such as regulatory authorities

A final test should:

cover the conditions associated with the ‘Critical Aspects of Evidence’ statement in Competency Standard Units

take into account the principles of assessment and be sufficiently rigorous

be consistent with the policies and practices of the Registered Training Organisation who is providing the recognition.

Enclosure A11 — Contracted Entry Level Profiling Model — Sample assessment instruments that support a profiling model

In relation to the industry preferred assessment model for contract entry-level competency development programs (Australian Apprenticeships), longitudinal approaches to assessment activities are considered more efficient and effective. This is best achieved by implementing a process of frequently gathering reliable data from the workplace by the learner and having it verified in a form that can be easily used and consistently interpreted.

One option is to use a machine-readable data scan card or direct web entry process, operating in conjunction with a sophisticated computer software program to achieve this result. The design of the system known as Profiling reflects the key requirements outlined in the relevant Competency Standard Units making up the competency development plan/program. Learners report directly on their exposure to required work experiences in a structured way. Additional to the off-the-job technical training required for contracted entry level learners Profiling gathers specific workplace information reliably and systematically.

Data gathered frequently from the workplace accumulates over the competency development period and is reported graphically at given periods. This approach encourages self review and participation in the system and eliminates bias and minimises the effects of low levels of literacy (see over the page for an example).

The information gathered under Profiling, forms one component of a two part, in some cases three part, Training Program that supports competency development in a way preferred by the industry. The components are:

off-the-job training (technical subjects/topics), and

on-the-job training (workplace activities), and

a specific final "safety systems (capstone)" test, where applicable

Typically, the off-the-job component requires the successful completion of technical subjects/topics of training against essential knowledge and associated skills (EKAS) clauses included in the respective Competency Standard Units. More often than not the EKAS are aligned to EKAS Learning Specifications that expand on the essential knowledge and associated skills clauses; providing more detailed information on depth and breadth of learning required, for RTOs. The on-the-job component requires a profile to develop from workplace experiences/exposures. Finally, a specific safety assessment test is conducted, where applicable, for regulatory and industry requirements.

In relation to the on-the-job workplace data (experiences/exposures) is gathered and reported on against the respective aspects of industry determined competency standards, using predefined industry norms. Typically the information gathered pertains to the:

activity against each element of competency and indirect information against the performance criteria

quality, breadth and range of equipment, processes, techniques and applications experienced and worked with/on in the workplace

level of supervision of a learner’s workplace experiences

hours of exposure (recording hours only is not generally considered Profiling)

Entry against the prescribed criteria is completed regularly (e.g. weekly) by the learner, the software program calculates the data against industry predefined norms and regular reports are produced (typically quarterly) for the use and information of RTOs, employers and the leaner. Assessors use this information in a holistic way to identify and analyse trends and anomalies against the predefined industry norms.

The advantage of Profiling over many other mediums such as manually based log-books which require extensive and laborious analysis is that it is simple and directly reflective of the workplace experiences undertaken at the time. It provides evidence for:

managing workplace skill development/ performance of competency required to produce quality work

progressive assessment and supporting the attainment of a national qualification

the attainment of an electrical workers’ licence/regulated registrations, where appropriate

the need for job rotation

allocating work

RTOs — in this way reducing the demand for an array of workplace assessors.

To gain an appreciation of what a data card and a report may look like a sample of each is included over the page.

1.2	Glossary of Terms Related to Occupational Health and Safety

This Glossary of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Terms has been developed to assist competency developers and writers, reviewers of training packages and those developing any training specification or learning materials for the Vocational Education and Training environment.

In Australia we consider that the rate of workplace fatality, injury and ill-health is far too high. To reduce this toll we need to make some changes in the work place and this requires training to enable business and workers to effectively manage safety.

We must get OHS right in the competency so that the resultant learning contributes to improving the capacity of those in the workplace to manage safety. This applies not only to the ‘designated’ OHS units but to the integration of OHS, as appropriate, into all competencies, learning programs and learning resources.

The Competency Standard Unit TAADES505A Research and develop competency standards specifies the outcomes and the knowledge and skills required to research and develop documents which outline competency requirements for a particular job function, work process, work role or specific vocational outcome. This competency cites four phases in developing a competency:

1.	Research the competency area

2.	Formulate competency specifications

3.	Validate competency specifications

4.	Finalise competency specifications.

OHS is a critical aspect of research into the competency area, and also an important aspect of work performance to be integrated within a competency.

As in many technical areas, OHS has its own language. OHS affects all of us, however key words and terms are not always used in a consistent manner and this can lead to confusion. To maximise the effectiveness of our training and education we need to ensure that our use of the OHS language is as consistent and clear as possible.

This glossary is not intended as a definitive dictionary of OHS terms but is designed to be used in the second phase of competency development, formulate the competency specifications. It is also an invaluable tool for those involved in the design and development of learning resources.

Further information on OHS hazards, practical guidance material, standards and codes of practice is available at the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission website at www.nohsc.gov.au

The glossary is intended to be an evolving and dynamic document and those wishing to comment on the terms or suggest additions or modifications should email the Team Leader of the OHS Skills Development Team at NOHSC.

Accountability	The process by which a person with OHS responsibilities is answerable to a higher authority.
Action level	The level at which a risk is considered to be unacceptable and action is required to reduce the level of risk. May be specific such as a noise level at which hearing protection must be worn, a concentration of chemical or more generic.
Action plans	Documented plans developed within the workplace to implement OHS management, which include allocated responsibilities and time frames.
Administrative controls	Management practices that aim to control employees’ exposure to specific hazards, and generally improve health and safety – examples include the use of job rotation, job enlargement

Causative event	Key event that resulted in the particular outcome(s) of injury or damage.
Circumstance	Short-term situation that is relatively unusual, such as a storm or when a key person is absent.
Certification	Refer operator certification.
Common law	Law that is derived from the English legal system and has evolved through judicial decision and practice (case law) that establishes and follows precedent. Note difference to ‘statute law’.
Condition	Permanent situation such as type of equipment, work practice, design of work environment (often different to detect or identify) that may contribute to risk.
Consequence	The injury or damage outcome of an event, which may be expressed quantitatively or qualitatively, there may be a range of possible outcomes for a specific event or scenario.
Confined space	An enclosed or partially enclosed space which: is at atmospheric pressure during occupancy is not intended or designed primarily as a place of work, and is liable at any time to: - have an atmosphere which contains potentially harmful levels of contaminant - not have a safe oxygen level or - cause engulfment - may have restricted means for entry and exit. A confined space is determined in part by the hazards associated with a defined set of circumstances (restricted entry or hazardous atmosphere, risk of engulfment) and not just with work performed in a restricted space. Examples include but may not be limited to: storage tanks, tank cars, process vessels, boilers, pressure vessels, silos and other tank-like compartments open-topped spaces such as pits or degreasers pipes, sewers, shafts, ducts and similar structures shipboard spaces entered through a small hatchway or access point, cargo tanks, cellular double bottom tanks, duct keels, ballast and oil tanks and void spaces (but not including dry cargo holds). A person is deemed to have entered a confined space when their head (i.e. the breathing zone) or upper part of the body is within the boundary of the confined space. (Note that inserting an arm for atmospheric testing is not considered an entry to a confined space). References: AS/NZS 2865:2001 Safe working in a confined space Handbook – HB 213:2003 Guidelines for safe working in a confined space

Risk management	The whole systematic process directed towards identifying hazards, assessing the risk and developing controls to minimise the risk and monitoring the effectiveness of the controls (and taking further action as required).
Risk ranking	A process of rating risks according to their severity and likelihood. Common systems are based on matrices or nomograms but are usually highly subjective.
Risk register	Includes: a list of hazards, their location and people exposed a range of possible scenarios or circumstances under which these hazards may cause injury or damage the results of the risk assessment, and may also include; possible control measures and dates for implementation. May also be referred to as Hazard Register.
Safe Design	A design process that generates options to eliminate hazards, or minimise potential risk to health and safety of those who make the product and those that use it by involving decision makers and considering OHS risks throughout the life cycle of the designed product.
Stakeholders	In workplace OHS include: managers supervisors health and safety and other employee representatives OHS committees employees and contractors the community.
Standards	Relevant to OHS include: OHS regulations and standards developed by OHS regulators national standards (NOHSC) Australian standards International national standards industry standards codes of practice exposure standards guidance notes.
Statute Law	Law created by legislation passed by government (acts and regulations) as distinct from common law.
(OHS) plan	A document that: is usually developed annually but may be developed for a shorter or longer period is reviewed regularly has OHS performance indicators (i.e. objectives and targets that are achievable and practical) reflecting systematic approaches to managing OHS.
System of work	The overall process of work including: method by which the work is carried out organisation of the work selection and maintenance of tools and equipment supervision and training selection of workers allocation of tasks and responsibilities.
Systemic approach to managing OHS	Requires: comprehensive processes that are combined in a methodical and ordered manner to minimise the risk of injury or ill health in the workplace processes of planning, allocation of resources, communication and consultation, hazard management, record keeping and reporting, training and competency, and review and evaluation for ongoing improvement. Factors that may impact on the implementation of a systematic approach to managing OHS may include: barriers to communication, such as language/literacy workplace culture issues, such as management commitment, supervisors’ approach to compliance and general acceptance of the priority of safety diversity of workers structural factors, such as multiple locations, shift work and supervisory arrangements.
Tag out	Refer to Isolation.
Technical advisors	To the OHS function may include: legal practitioners engineers (such as design, acoustic, mechanical, civil) security and emergency response personnel workplace trainers and assessors maintenance and trade persons.
Wellness	Refer to Health promotion.
Workplace policies	Comprise written statements of employer’s intentions and how the employers will action those intentions in the workplace. For example: OHS, access and equity, discrimination and manual handling.
Workplace inspection	Process of examining the workplace, usually with the aid of a checklist, to identify hazards and level of compliance with workplace procedures.

2.2.01 Contextualisation

Contextualisation

In the competency standard units, "notes" have been placed against respective aspects that include scope, Performance Criteria, Range Statement and essential knowledge and associated skills and other related sections. The insertion of these "notes" is primarily to provide users and support material developers with examples of the form and type related to technical content principles, technology, equipment, or processes that may be used to cover the outcomes. The examples should be treated as information that adds clarity for the purposes of assisting in guidance of the depth and breadth that is to be covered.

As the type, form, process, or technique of technology and equipment may change it is therefore expected and encumbered on RTOs to continue to be current in the content of their delivery arrangements.

It is therefore appropriate for RTOs to use the notes in relation to technology and equipment references as advisory information. In these instances RTOs should aim to accommodate the adoption of improved and new technologies in the scope/range and essential knowledge and associated skills of the competency standard units by varying the context examples given in the referenced ‘Notes:’ to the Performance criteria, Range statement and Essential knowledge and associated skills. However, the contextualisation must not be such that the outcome of the competency standard units is altered in any way.

Where contextualisation of the notes varies the outcome of the competency standard units and its related content, RTOs should consult with EE-Oz Training Standards to explore options for incorporating and/or covering the new arrangements, so that currency of the Training package is maintained.

It should be noted that any need to alter the competency standard units from its intended outcome requires a new or varied competency standard unit. Such changes are to be undertaken through the continuous improvement processes required of Training Packages, which in relation to this Training Package is managed by EE-Oz Training Standards.

2.3.1 Language, Literacy and Numeracy

Volume 2 Part 3

3.1 Language, Literacy and Numeracy

The reading, writing and numeracy skills/competencies in each Competency Standard Unit describe the recommended pre-requisite entry requirements typically needed to successfully achieve the competency. A nationally-recognised language, literacy and numeracy framework has been used to provide advice as to the relevant entry level required.

The information has been derived from the National Reporting System report, A mechanism for reporting outcomes of adult English language, literacy and numeracy programs. The Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) and the Department of Employment Education and Training (DEET), 1994-5, jointly funded the report. Australian Training Products Ltd (ATP) distributes it for and on behalf of Language Australia Victorian Office. Stock code 3010A, ISBN: 0 7306 7493 2, April 1999.

The report:

identifies adult English language, literacy and numeracy competencies in industry

facilitates student pathways

generates ideas for curriculum and assessment.

The report identifies a national framework of five vertical levels of competence related to complexity of language, literacy and numeracy competence. Six interrelated horizontal aspects of communication were found to apply in relation to differing orientations of social activity involving reading, writing, speaking, listening and/or numeracy. These were categorised as:

procedural communication for performing tasks

technical communication for using technology

personal communication for expressing identity

cooperative communication for interacting in groups

systems communication for interacting in organisations

public communication for interacting in the wider community.

The National Reporting System report should be referred to at all times for clarification, more detailed information and advice.

For the purposes of this Training Package writing, reading and numeracy competencies, have been selected from the five-level competence structure (using the Technical Communication aspect of the national framework), as a means of providing relevant entry-level advice. Registered Training Organisations should use this information to assist them in developing appropriate entry-level learning strategies and to assist learners to meet the entry-level requirements of respective Competency Standard Units.

Table 6 – Reading, Writing and Numeracy: Indicators of Competence

Note:	It is important to note what the five levels of competence interrelated with six aspects of communication of the National Reporting System is not intended to be. It is not an assessment system. It is not curriculum. It is not a model of language acquisition. It is not a means for categorising students by a simple "level", nor is it a set of broad competency statements. It is not a recruitment instrument for employers. The NRS suggests that the "report of a person’s competence derives from the interplay between the chosen activity, the features of the text/task, and the context and level of support under which the activity is performed".
