Preface
This Competency Package has been developed and approved by
Sindh Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA)
supported by the World Bank with assistance from MTC International
Development Pakistan Pvt. Ltd – a subsidiary of Management and Training
Corporation, USA. The overall program launched in 2013 is a technical
assistance project established at the initiative of Sindh Technical Education
& Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) - the public sector implementer,
facilitator and catalyst of TVET in Sindh province.
Occupational competencies/skill standards are the starting point
in vocational training. One has to learn to perform the skills of a job to a given
standard which defines what you need to know and be able to do, to be
certified for a particular position.
One of the deliverables in SSDP includes the development of
competency packages for 33 occupations. These units were developed to
reflect the exact content of specific occupational skills standard. For each task
in the competency, there is a corresponding unit in the text. The package
consists of competency listings identified by the content experts. It also
contains Units with corresponding mapping, code no., title, description,
elements, performance criteria, required knowledge, required skills, range of
variables, assessment evidence criteria and Pre-requisites synonymous to the
curricula. Units of competency in this package have been organized into six
small groups: learning, reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and
digital technology. While these groups primarily reflect the core skills needed
by worker they also encompass employability skills of communication,
planning and organizing, problem solving, numeracy, teamwork, safety &
health, environmental aspects and IT. These employability skills have been
aligned with the core skills for work.
The units have been prepared for use in these Sindh province.
After approval by the competent forum, the package initially will be tested in
47 STEVTA institutes under 70 programs. It is proposed that subsequently
these may also be widely tested in other training institutes and in-company
training situations at selected places throughout the country. The units will
fine-tuned accordingly. Afterwards these may be adopted at other regional,
provincial and national levels in Pakistan since these skills and qualifications
are not unique to one province or an individual training provider. These
provide a consistent national benchmark for skills and ensure that skills
gained in one province will be recognized across the country. However, in the
wake of some regional variations in conditions and corresponding flexibility
in methods being essential, supervisors and trainers will explain to you the
methods and time adjustments most appropriate to local conditions.
The document has already been reviewed, discussed and
validated by the industry. Companies may tailor the material to their own
market and style of service. The text, however, does reflect the occupational
competencies for the respective trade. These are the requirements what a
worker have to be able to do and know to qualify for certification.
Thanks are due to all the persons and organizations who have
contributed in various ways towards preparation of this competency package.
Thanks are also due to the World Bank for extending its support.
Good luck with your studies.

ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE CRITERIA
Critical aspects of evidence
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of their ability to use
standard and authorized work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. The evidence
should integrate employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles and verify competency is able to be
transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and health and safety requirements, the
health and safety requirements take precedence. As working in a confined space is inherently hazardous it is
essential that the worker be able to demonstrate:
Recognition of and the ability to work in a confined space
Compliance with the permit conditions
Recognition and control of atmospheric hazards
Use of confined space entry and exit equipment relevant to the site/job
Selection, use and maintenance of appropriate PPE
Use of communication equipment and processes applicable to confined space work
Completion of documents and records relevant to confined space work
Understanding of and the ability to initiate incident/emergency response plan.
Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:
o communications are timely and effective
o deviations from permit conditions are recognized, reported and corrected and the permit is re-
authorized or re-issued by competent person
o actions specified in the permit/standard procedures are carried out
o all safety procedures are followed
