1 AIM OF THE ADVISORY 1.1 The Curriculum Development Advisory (CDA) is a document to assist MOM Accredited Training Providers (ATP) with the instructional design and development of a competency-based training workshop for Workplace Safety and Health. It aims to help ATPs facilitate the learning process, deliver effective training and conduct competency-based training and assessment. 1.2 This document contains key information on the Workshop to Enhance the Safety of Crane Operation (WESCO), including the workshop aim, learning objectives, target audience, assumed skills and knowledge/entry requirements, workshop syllabus, recommended workshop duration, recommended class size, and recommended trainer/trainee ratio. It also sets forth guidelines for training delivery and assessment for the workshop. 1.3 This CDA will be reviewed on a regular basis and whenever it is deemed necessary due to changes in training syllabus or industrial requirements. 2 SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP 2.1 The Workshop to Enhance the Safety of Crane Operation (WESCO) is a training workshop for MOM registered crane operators to raise their safety competencies in the operation of cranes. Topics covered include safety practices for crane operations, updates on safety laws and regulations, safe lifting practices and lessons learnt from recent crane-related accidents. 3 OVERVIEW OF THE WORKSHOP REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Learning objectives for the workshop
3.1.1 State the legal requirements in lifting operation
3.1.2 Explain safety precautions in crane operation
3.1.3 Describe pre-operational checks on cranes and lifting gears

6 ASSESSMENT ADVICE 6.1 General guidelines for conducting assessment.
6.1.1 The ATP is required to submit an assessment plan (see Annex C for proposed sample) for the WESCO. The aim of the assessment plan is to determine the competency of the trainee in meeting the learning objectives upon successful completion of this workshop.
6.1.2 The assessment plan must be directly related to all the learning objectives determined in the workshop. It comprises four main parts:
Overview of the assessment tools and its duration Instructions for the conduct of the assessment Tools of assessment (Question paper, checklist) Assessment summary record
6.1.3 The assessment plan is subject to review on an annual basis by the ATP to ensure that trainees are constantly kept current and competent to perform up to the industrial requirements.
6.2 Principles of assessment
Assessment will be fair, valid, reliable and flexible for all trainees without deliberate barriers against the individual.
Fair – Are the assessments criteria clear? Do all the trainees know what to
expect from the assessment? Does the assessment disadvantage any trainee? Do the trainees have any recourse to appeal?
Valid – Are the assessment methods and tools appropriate and effective in
assessing what they claim to assess. Are the evidence collected relevant
7 CDA_WESCO
to the training and demonstrates that the learning objective has been achieved?
Reliability – Are the results consistent from one assessment to another? Do people have the confidence that the standards are applied consistently from learner to learner and from context to context?
Flexibility – Can the assessment be used for multiple assessments? Are
the assessment tools and methods uniform across different approaches and drawing on a range of different methods? Can they be used appropriately to the context, task and individual under assessment?
6.3 Assessment tool
6.3.1 The ATP must conduct a written test (compulsory) in the form of a multiple choice questionnaire. The number of questions for each topic is stated in Annex C.
6.3.2 The total allocated time for the test is 1 hour.
6.3.3 The test will comprise 2 sections:
Section A: 20 multiple choice questions (MCQ) on learning
objectives 3.1.1 to 3.1.4.
