Purpose of this framework

Summary of the purpose of the framework

Summary of the purpose of the framework

National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) – Statement on Apprenticeship Quality Definition

1. An Apprenticeship is a job with an accompanying skills development programme designed byemployers in the sector. It allows the apprentice to gain technical knowledge and real practicalexperience, along with functional and personal skills, required for their immediate job andfuture career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off the jobtraining and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. Thisbroader mix differentiates the Apprenticeship experience from training delivered to meetnarrowly focused job needs.

2. On completion of the Apprenticeship the apprentice must be able to undertake the full rangeof duties, in the range of circumstances appropriate to the job, confidently and competently tothe standard set by the industry.

CITB-ConstructionSkills Apprenticeship Definition as defined by the Construction Industry

DefinitionAn apprenticeship in construction is a form of vocational training whereby the apprenticefollows a ConstructionSkills' approved framework to develop skills and knowledge and whowould then demonstrate and evidence their application in a construction environment. In orderto complete a Construction Apprenticeship the apprentice must have been employed duringthe apprenticeship, have evidenced competence in the specified range of vocational skills andhave an employed status at the time of completion.

StakeholdersThe core participants involved in a Construction Apprenticeship are:

• Employer – the primary provider of learning in the workplace, and supports the apprenticethrough mentoring, learning and payment of wages• Apprentice – contributes to the productivity of the employer and undertakes the requisitelearning• Training provider – provides off-site tuition and administrative support to both the employerand apprentice. (Training providers can include colleges, training centres, manufacturers,suppliers and some employers.)• Government – provides a financial contribution to the training costs of the apprenticeship• Managing agent – sets up and monitors the apprenticeship and obtains and distributes the




government funding. The managing agent can also be the training provider or the employer.(Apprentices can choose not to have a managing agent.)

The Construction Civil Engineering framework has a role in supplying a qualified workforce tosmall and medium enterprises (SMEs). The vast majority of companies in the sector are small,with over 97% employing fewer than 25 people. Only 1% of sector businesses employ morethan 60 people, although these firms carry out a disproportionate share of the work by value.

Over one-third (38%) of the construction workforce in England is self-employed.Self-employment is particularly high in the main craft trades where it averages around 60% ofthe workforce, and is also highly concentrated in some regions. Regional analysis showsproportions of self-employment above 40% in London, the East and South East, as well as theWest Midlands.

There are 1,817,049 employees in construction in England, and by the year 2015, a further38,630 new recruits will be needed to fill the posts of those that retire or leave the industry.The following is the annual recruitment for construction civil engineering for the period 2011 to2015.

• Civil engineering operatives 680• Plant operatives 930• Plant mechanics/fitters 410• Civil engineers 1380• Construction professionals and technical staff 1,000• Construction managers 3,200

The priorities for the sector for 2010 to 2014 are to:

• improve productivity• attract, retain and develop talent• increase diversity• improve supervisory, management and leadership skills• collaborate with employers and stakeholders.

An apprenticeship in construction follows a pattern of vocational training to meet therequirements of a ConstructionSkills' approved framework. This enables apprentices to developskills and knowledge which they can then demonstrate and evidence in a real constructionenvironment.

The Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) apprenticeships in civil engineeringoccupations have been meeting the needs of employers since the mid 1990’s.

This apprenticeship has been developed to help meet the skills priorities of the industry and for




England by:

• continuing to provide qualifications required by employers to help their business grow• providing a flexible entry route to attract applicants from under-represented groups• including literacy, numeracy, problem solving and employability skills to develop theconfidence of apprentices to take with them throughout their working life• meeting the requirements of the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England(SASE).

This framework includes the following occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced(Level 3) in Construction Civil Engineering.


• Construction Operations• Formwork• Highways Maintenance• Constrction Plant or Machinery Maintenance• Plant Operations• Tunnelling Operations REMOVED• Specialist Concrete Occupations (pathway withdrawn)• Roadbuilding pathway Removed• Steelfixing• Steelfixing Major Projects (Removed new Standard in Place)

Advanced (Level 3)

•Construction Plant or Machinery Maintenance

Aims and objectives of this framework (England)

The aim of this framework is to attract, retain and develop talent into a range of civilengineering occupations at Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) in Construction CivilEngineering, and provide progression to supervisory and management level, in order toprovide the industry with a well trained productive workforce.

1. Attract new people from a range of diverse backgrounds into construction civil engineeringto broaden the industry talent pool in England.

2. To provide broad-based training for a range of occupations in construction civil engineeringin order to retain staff and increase productivity.

3. To provide a structured career path for construction civil engineering to progress to higher




3. To provide a structured career path for construction civil engineering to progress to higherlevel jobs using further and higher education.




Entry conditions for this frameworkThere are a variety of ways to enter an apprenticeship in Construction Civil Engineering, forexample:

• STEP into construction project• the women and work sector pathways initiative (W&WSPI)• previously worked in construction e.g. as a labourer• completed a young apprenticeship scheme (14-16) in construction• Functional Skills English and Maths, or Key Skills Application of Number and Communication(achieved before September 2012 and within 5 years immediately prior to starting anApprenticeship))• Foundation Learning Tier (a construction Civil Engineering occupation at Level 1)• A Levels and GCSEs ( achieved before September 2012 and any time prior to starting theApprenticeship)• work experience and a positive attitude• Construction Youth Trust that supports young people’s journey to work• a suitable level of physical fitness to perform aspects of the job (e.g. moving and handlingresources, placing and fixing materials)

RULES TO AVOID REPEATING QUALIFICATIONS

Processes exist to make sure that applicants with prior knowledge, qualifications andexperience are not disadvantaged by having to repeat learning. Training providers andawarding organisations will be able to advise on the current rules for accrediting prior learningand recognising prior experience.

An Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced (Level 3) Apprenticeship framework specifies that anapprentice must achieve Functional Skills/GCSE (with enhanced functional content) and KeySkills. See the list of Transferable Skills in this framework document.

Knowledge qualifications: If applicants already have one of the knowledge qualifications fromthe Intermediate (Level 2) or Advanced (Level 3) before starting their Apprenticeship (see the‘Qualifications’ page for each pathway), they do not have to redo the qualification providingthat they achieved the qualification within five years of starting the apprenticeship. The hoursthey spent gaining the qualification will also count towards the minimum hours required forthis framework.

Competence qualifications: If applicants already have the competence qualification from theIntermediate (Level 2) or Advanced (Level 3) for this apprenticeship framework (see the‘Qualifications’ page for each pathway) they cannot use the competence qualification as acomponent part of this apprenticeship; competence qualifications must be achieved as part ofthe apprenticeship.




Prior experience: Applicants already working in the sector may be able to have their priorexperience recognised by the Awarding Organisation, and this will count towards thecompetence and knowledge qualifications within this framework.

Initial Assessment

Training providers and employers will use initial assessment to ensure that applicants have afair opportunity to demonstrate their ability, and to tailor programmes to meet individualneeds whilst recognising prior qualifications and experience. Training providers will be able touse Access to Work funding to support apprentices, for example, with additional coaching andmentoring.

Entry to an apprenticeship scheme will usually involve a skills learning exercise. This exerciseis not a barrier to entry to the apprenticeship, but has been put in place to gauge thecandidate’s ability for the apprenticeship, and enable extra support and guidance to be given tothe candidate if required.

Apprentices in the framework can expect to be continually assessed to gauge their suitabilityfor progression to an Advanced (Level 3) Apprenticeship. In some occupational areasapprentices would be expected to work at height and outside in all seasonal weatherconditions. They could also be expected to travel to sites or in some cases, stay in lodgingswhilst working away from home.

How equality and diversity will be metHow Equality and Diversity will be metThe under-representation of women and ethnic minorities remains a priority issue for theindustry. Labour force statistics show that when compared with the workforce as a whole, thesector remains amongst the most gender imbalanced in the economy. Whilst, the proportion of Black and Minority Ethic (BME) workers in construction employmenthas gradually risen over the past decade to represent 5% of the construction workforce inEngland, this compares poorly with the wider working population.

CITB-ConstructionSkills responsibility as an industry leader

We live in a diverse society that is multi cultural and multi-lingual, where everyone is differentand has something different to bring to society and the workplace. Construction is an industrywhich requires a variety of different skills and abilities and it is important that people fromdifferent backgrounds, life experiences and abilities are employed within the sector to enableus to achieve the high skill levels needed to be world leaders in the industry.CITB-ConstructionSkills is working to attract and support the best qualified people to work inthe sector.

As a partner organisation of the Sector Skills Council for the construction industry and anIndustry Training Board we encourage construction companies to employ the best qualifiedperson for the job regardless of age, disability, gender-reassignment, marriage or civilpartnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex (gender), sexualorientation or socio-economic background. We will also challenge out-of-date practices andpromote equality and the business case for diversity to construction companies by workingwith our partners and government.

In Wales, CITB-ConstructionSkills will meet the requirements of the Welsh Language Act andprovide services explained in the CITB-ConstructionSkills’ Welsh Language Scheme.

Good Practice for Learning Providers – Learner Monitoring

Equality and diversity includes social and educational inclusion and tackles equality ofopportunity. This goes further than providing ‘equal access’ to participation. In practice thismeans all learning providers should:

• actively promote positive relationships and respect for both staff and learners • understand and respect differences between people• take positive action to tackle unlawful and unfair discrimination, inequality and unfairness• adopt practices that make the best use of the differing skills and talents of individuals




• focus on improving outcomes that raise standards and improve lives.

The two operating principles for inspection and regulation activity relating to equality anddiversity are:

• how effectively a provider is narrowing the achievement gap between different groups ofpeople• how effectively a provider actively promotes equality and diversity and tackles discrimination.

This will be measured against how effectively:

• the provider assesses the impact of its work in relation to equality and diversity and hastaken appropriate action in response to its findings• the provider ensures the effectiveness of training in equality and diversity so that leaders,managers, governors or supervisory bodies, staff and learners understand their roles inrelation to equality and diversity.

The minimum expected key evidence will be:

• evidence of actions and impact relating to the two operating principles, giving due regard toall equality strands (protected characteristics)• the effectiveness of staff training in equality and diversity (assessed through staff awarenessand evidence in their work)• how effectively the provider manages learner complaints• the progress, development and performance of different groups of learners• arrangements for consulting with users and stakeholders• how outcomes of impact assessment have led to improvement.

External ‘Fairness, Respect and Inclusion’ Leadership Strategy

AimTo lead the construction and built environment sector in improving its performance aroundFairness, Respect and Inclusion so that the sector can actively promote equality of opportunityfor everyone and attract and retain the quality people it needs from a diversity of backgrounds.

Objectives• To challenge the sector as to how it can embrace fairness, respect and inclusion.• To lead the fairness respect and inclusion agenda in the sector.• To make the business case that fairness, respect and inclusion is good for business in termsof improving performance and saving costs.• To help and support the sector in meeting the current and emerging legislation aroundEquality and Diversity.• To identify, initiate and promote best practice across the sector.• To provide accurate and authoritative LMI for the sector on equality and diversity and the




protected characteristics.• To ensure that fairness, respect and inclusion are integrated into the CITB-ConstructionSkillsIAG strategy, action plans, policies and procedures.• To ensure that fairness respect and inclusion are integrated into the CITB-ConstructionSkillsQualifications strategy, action plans, policies and procedures.• To work in partnership with external groups.• To develop products and services that will support the Fairness, Respect and Inclusionagenda in industry.• To launch an equality standard for the sector.

All apprentices are required to generate evidence in the workplace to complete thecompetence qualification over the period of the apprenticeship; this is achieved by thefollowing.

• In the workplace, candidates bring evidence of completed tasks which are supported by awork based recorder; this evidence is discussed and agreed by the assessor and contributes todemonstrating competence in the workplace.

• The generation of a work-based portfolio, either paper-based or electronic, can be acceptedby the Awarding Organisations. When the apprentice has gathered all of the work-basedevidence that meets the requirements, the assessor will sign off the competence qualification.

• Evidence is generated throughout the apprenticeship period, allowing the candidate to havementoring and assessment when tasks have been completed. Only a variety of work willgenerate enough evidence to support the qualification.

Evidence for on-the-job GLH will include
