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

judgement is required Interpret available information, using discretion and judgement Take responsibility for own outputs in work and learning Take limited responsibility for the output of others
8 Conducting an Observation - Checklist
Before the Observation be certain to: Collect all the necessary written permissions Complete a hazard identification plan Complete a Safe Work Method Statement for yourself and/or evaluate the
Candidate’s document Establish the fitness of the Candidate to undertake the assessment by asking such
questions as: - Are you ready for the assessment? - Are you taking any prescription drugs which may impair your performance at
work? - Have you taken any drugs or consumed any alcohol during the last 24
hours? Clarify the procedures, purpose, equipment requirements, duration and methods of
assessment with the Candidate Ask the Candidate to confirm their readiness to undertake the assessment
While observing: Complete the Observation checklist and write down brief comments as the
Candidate carries out the task; If at any time the Candidate engages in an activity which you believe has the
potential to endanger themselves, property and/or others, terminate the assessment and provide feedback to the Candidate immediately.
Observation Review:It is advisable to engage the employer or their representative in this feedback discussion
Immediately after the observation: Write down additional comments about the skills, knowledge and attitudes
demonstrated by the Candidate throughout the tasks performed. You may make some notes under the following headings:
- Task skills – did the Candidate perform the task at an acceptable workplace level?
- Task management skills – did the Candidate manage well the different tasks involved in the job?
- Contingency management skills – did the Candidate deal well with unexpected problems or changes? A Candidate may perform under normal workplace routine conditions, in which case, you will not be able to observe their contingency management skills. If that is the case, ask the Candidate some hypothetical questions (if – questions). One such question could be what would you have done, if there had been a serious accident on the site?
COAG SCIP ProjectCreated: 8 May 2008Draft Version: 3.0
Recognition Assessor Kit Cert II in Steel Fixing© NSW DET 2008
Modified: 20/08/2008Page 13 of 56
Write down a summary of feedback in simple language so that the Candidate can understand and sign off on it.
9 Conducting an Interview
Be certain to: Ensure that your questioning is not limited by the written, pre-determined questions Ask open-ended questions to allow the Candidate to express themselves about
various aspects of their work experience. Encourage the Candidate to expand on their answers by asking probe questions such as:
- Clarity & Precision: What exactly do you mean? What’s an example of that?
- Accuracy: How can we check that this is accurate?
- Depth: Could you give me more details?
- Relevance: What is the main point?
Ensure that the questioning is strategic e.g. Candidates must be asked or prompted to
explain, give details, describe and comment on specific, relevant aspects of their workplace.
Guide the conversation so that you obtain the most relevant detail for the units of competency you are assessing
For recorded interviews, listen to the recording afterwards and make some notes. You are not required to transcribe the entire interview.
If you are conducting a written assessment, pay particular attention to the literacy difficulties the Candidate may have. Reasonable adjustments to accommodate mild literacy difficulties may include:
Reading out the questions and jotting down the verbal answers Arranging for translation Increasing the font size Writing questions on a white board Allowing the use of calculators if that is a common workplace practice Clarifying the meaning of complex words Offering additional time for completion of a task
To identify literacy difficulties use the questionnaire in the Candidate kit along with careful observation of the way in which the Candidate reads and writes. It is important that you conduct discussions related to literacy and numeracy difficulties in the most tactful way and in a location where the Candidate’s right to privacy can be observed.

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

STARTDATE
ENDDATE
CANDIDATE NAME John Smith EMPLOYER NAME Acme Builders
CONTEXT What did the Candidate do to demonstrate competence? Describe the worksite and the main work activities that the Candidate has done on this site, and were observed.
Joe Smith was working at the Acme Builders Homebush construction site as part of a team of riggers assembling a series of steel beams and columns that formed part of a portal framed annex attached to the rear of the original building. The observation included the unloading of structural steel components and the progressive assembly of the vertical columns and horizontal beams gussets and braces.
Joe was highly confident and was impressive in his preparation and communication with the 5 other team members. Joe ensured that all of the other riggers were fully informed of the project requirements and safety issues. Joe led the pre-start tool box meeting and reviewed the Safe work method statements.The rigging operations observed as part of the competency assessment were under considerable pressure to be completed by the end of the day however Joe was able to clearly demonstrate his skill as a rigger while maintaining clear communication with the client at all times and ensuring safety was not compromised.
KNOWLEDGE Describe how the Candidate demonstrated their knowledge. By confidently answering questions, demonstrations etc
During the assessment of Joes underpinning knowledge, he answered all of the questions with confidence and demonstrated a high level of technical skill. Joe clearly has considerable industry experience and knowledge in a wide range of rigging applications.
PREVIOUS WORK HISTORYWhat have they done in the past?
Joe has produced an extensive and credible resume outlining some of the major projects he has worked on over the past 6 years. This was confirmed during the interview when he was

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