How is this qualification graded and assessed?

The overall grade for this qualification is a ‘pass’. The learner must achieve all the required units within the specified qualification structure.

To pass a unit the learner must:

• achieve all the specified learning outcomes

• satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid evidence for each criterion

• show that the evidence is their own.

This qualification is designed to be assessed:

• in the workplace or

• in conditions resembling the workplace, as specified in the assessment requirements/strategy for the sector, or

• as part of a training programme.

Assessment Requirements/Strategy

The Assessment Requirements/Strategy for this qualification has been included in Annexe E. It has been developed by ConstructionSkills in partnership with employers, training providers, awarding organisations and the regulatory authorities. The assessment strategy includes details on:

• criteria for defining realistic working environments

• roles and occupational competence of assessors, expert witnesses, internal verifiers and standards verifiers

• quality control of assessment

• evidence requirements.

Evidence of competence may come from:

• current practice where evidence is generated from a current job role

• a programme of development where evidence comes from assessment opportunities built into a learning/training programme whether at or away from the workplace

• the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) where a learner can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment criteria within a unit through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess without undertaking a course of learning. They must submit sufficient, reliable and valid evidence for internal and standards verification purposes. RPL is acceptable for accrediting a unit, several units or a whole qualification

• a combination of these.


8

It is important that the evidence is:

Valid relevant to the standards for which competence is claimed

Authentic produced by the learner

Current sufficiently recent to create confidence that the same skill, understanding or knowledge persist at the time of the claim

Reliable indicates that the learner can consistently perform at this level

Sufficient fully meets the requirements of the standards.

Types of evidence

To successfully achieve a unit the learner must gather evidence which shows that they have met the required standard in the assessment criteria. Evidence can take a variety of different forms including the following examples:

• direct observation of the learner’s performance by their assessor

• outcomes from oral or written questioning

• products of the learner’s work

• personal statements and/or reflective accounts

• outcomes from simulation, where permitted by the assessment strategy

• professional discussion

• assignment, project/case studies

• authentic statements/witness testimony

• expert witness testimony

• reflective accounts

• evidence of Recognition of Prior Learning.

Learners can use one piece of evidence to prove their knowledge, skills and understanding across different assessment criteria and/or across different units. It is, therefore, not necessary for learners to have each assessment criterion assessed separately. Learners should be encouraged to reference the assessment criteria to which the evidence relates.

Evidence must be made available to the assessor, internal verifier and Edexcel standards verifier. A range of recording documents is available on the Edexcel website (www.edexcel.com). Alternatively, centres may develop their own.


9

Additional requirements

The Joint Awarding Body and the SSC Working Practices Group have identified additional requirements that are needed to assess and quality assure qualifications placed on the QCF that use NVQ within their title. These requirements are shown in Annexe D: Additional requirements for qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF.


10

What do you need to offer this qualification?

Centre recognition

Centres that have not previously offered Edexcel qualifications need to apply for and be granted centre recognition as part of the process for approval to offer individual qualifications. New centres must complete both a centre recognition approval application and a qualification approval application.

Existing centres will be given ‘automatic approval’ for a new qualification if they are already approved for a qualification that is being replaced by the new qualification and the conditions for automatic approval are met. Centres already holding Edexcel approval are able to gain qualification approval for a different level or different sector via Edexcel online.

Approvals agreement

All centres are required to enter into an approvals agreement which is a formal commitment by the head or principal of a centre to meet all the requirements of the specification and any linked codes or regulations. Edexcel will act to protect the integrity of the awarding of qualifications, if centres do not comply with the agreement. This could result in the suspension of certification or withdrawal of approval.

Quality assurance

Detailed information on Edexcel’s quality assurance processes is given in Annexe B.

What resources are required to deliver this qualification?

Each qualification is designed to support learners working in the construction and the built environment sector. Physical resources need to support the delivery of the qualification and the assessment of the learning outcomes and must be of industry standard. Centres must meet any specific resource requirements outlined in Annexe E: Assessment Requirements/Strategy. Staff assessing the learner must meet the requirements within the overarching assessment strategy for the sector.

The unit title is accredited on the QCF and this form of words will appear on the learner’s Notification of Performance (NOP).

All units and qualifications within the QCF have a level assigned to them, which represents the level of achievement. There are nine levels of achievement, from Entry level to level 8. The level of the unit has been informed by the QCF level descriptors and, where appropriate, the NOS and/or other sector/professional.

All units have a credit value. The minimum credit value is one, and credits can only be awarded in whole numbers. Learners will be awarded credits when they achieve the unit.

A notional measure of the substance of a qualification. It includes an estimate of the time that might be allocated to direct teaching or instruction, together with other structured learning time, such as directed assignments, assessments on the job or supported individual study and practice. It excludes learner-initiated private study.

This provides a summary of the purpose of the unit.

The assessment/evidence requirements are determined by the SSC. Learners must provide evidence for each of the requirements stated in this section.

Learning outcomes state exactly what a learner should know, understand or be able to do as a result of completing a unit.

The assessment criteria of a unit specify the standard a learner is expected to meet to demonstrate that a learning outcome, or a set of learning outcomes, has been achieved.

Learners must reference the type of evidence they have and where it is available for quality assurance purposes. The learner can enter the relevant key and a reference. Alternatively, the learner and/or centre can devise their own referencing system.

This provides a summary of the assessment methodology to be used for the unit.

The learner should use this box to indicate where the evidence can be obtained eg portfolio page number.

The learner should give the date when the evidence has been provided.

This code is a unique reference number for the unit.
