See individual unit of competency Strategies for specific equipment and resource requirements

Assessment Environment and Induction

As the target group consists of employed civil construction workers the majority of assessments are

expected to take place in the normal workplace of the candidate i.e. construction site, subdivision.

This approach will require coordination on the part of the assessor, candidate and employer, as the

assessor will need permission to enter the workplace and observe the worker as he/she undertakes

normal duties.

Candidates will be offered the opportunity of participating in an on-site induction where the program

delivery strategy will be explained including flexible learning/training options and assessment

approaches. At most inductions, it will be normal for candidates to enrol in the program where

appropriate. However, candidates may enrol later once they have considered the material presented

in the induction.

Assessment Modes/Approaches Suitable for the Target Group

Experience to date indicates that most civil construction workers will have considerable, relevant

industrial experience and the assessment approach will reflect this. Many workers will be under

pressure to not only complete their allotted work in the time available, but also to provide time to

work with the assessor/trainer. Therefore, the assessment process will be undertaken principally on-

the-job, and will only move to an off-the-job situation after consultations with both the candidate and

the employer. It is Training Services Tasmania’s policy to collect as much indirect evidence of

competency first before moving to direct assessment of the candidate.

An RPL instrument has been developed for the above qualifications and will be administered to all

candidates within three months of them enrolling. A verbal explanation of how to complete the

evidence collecting and documentation process will be provided to the candidate at either the

induction session, or within three months of commencement.

Training Services Tasmania’s policy (see Delivery Guidelines) indicates that evidence in general,

must be from multiple sources and reflect a reasonable period of time. For these Civil construction

qualifications, this is to be interpreted as follows:

For each unit of competency, no less than two pieces of evidence will be collected. However, it

is strongly recommended that all assessors attempt to collect a minimum of between three and

four pieces of evidence per Unit, to be made up of:

1. Workplace observations e.g. Excavating, Pipe Laying, Construction

2. Oral questioning

3. Third party testimonials

4. Other supplementary evidence such as:

Position descriptions

Employer policies and procedures

Workplace records e.g. JSEA’s, Daily Diaries, Plans, etc

Training records

Qualifications

The delivery plan developed for Civil Construction, and customised to meet individual needs, is a

valuable resource that assessors must use to assist in the evidence collecting process.

All evidence collected must meet the following criteria before the candidate is to be deemed

competent for the given Unit:

1. Valid

2. Reliable

3. Current

4. Authentic

5. Sufficient

Where doubt exists for any of the above criteria in relation to the evidence collected for a given Unit,

the assessor should liaise with another assessor/senior manager to determine the appropriate

response.



©Version 2 19/09/2018

Informing all of the above are Training Services Tasmania’s Delivery Guidelines which outline an

assessment and training policy framework.

Assessment Instruments/Processes

Only assessment instruments issued either from the Industry Skills Council (Skills DMC) or from

the Easy Guide series of assessment instruments (for plant operations) shall be used, as these have

been designed to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management

skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills and have been endorsed by

Industry and mapped to the units of competency.

Training Services Tasmania has designed its own RCC/RPL instrument, with inbuilt testimonial

form, and this must be used as described above.

On-the-Job Learning Strategy

Following the administration of the RCC/RPL process, an outcome will be determined which will

either lead to the issuing of a qualification or some gap will be identified, where additional learning

will need to take place. The learning strategy to which the trainee will be exposed will depend upon

the workplace situation. In some workplaces, trainees will be encouraged to job-rotate, thus exposing

them to new skills which may address some of the gaps. In other situations, Training Services

Tasmania’s staff will negotiate with the trainee and the employer the opportunity to deliver

structured training on site, using the employer’s facilities and equipment. This training will

ultimately lead to direct workplace assessment of the trainee, or the collection of additional

assessment evidence.

Support Arrangements/Other Options for Disadvantaged Groups

The civil construction industry attracts candidates who sometimes have low literacy and language

skills. The assessment/delivery process described above acknowledges this and reflects an approach

where these people will not be disadvantaged.

Candidates are asked to indicate if they are disadvantaged or have low reading/literacy skills at the

enrolment stage. However, from our experience to date, most tend to not publicly acknowledge this

problem. If an assessor/trainer finds that a candidate may be disadvantaged in some way, then

special efforts should be made to support the candidate. File notes outlining the approach adopted

should also be recorded on the candidate’s file.

In general, where a candidate has a reading difficulty, and does not wish to participate in a

literacy/language support program, then the assessor/trainer should diplomatically and sensitively

support the candidate by not requiring the candidate to read lengthy or complex documents, such as

the RCC instrument, without assistance. Only oral assessments should be used and all documents

that the candidate needs to sign should be either read first or left with the candidate for later

collection. In this way, the candidate can seek support from a relative, friend, or work colleague

without undue embarrassment.

Industry Validation/Consultation Processes

This assessment strategy will be validated by representatives of the civil construction industry and

the appropriate peak body. The purpose of the consultation process is to seek the views of the

construction industry about the assessment strategy that Training Services Tasmania is

implementing, with a view to continuous improvement and validation.

A formal record of the meetings will be kept and outcomes will be actioned and recorded.

Feedback/Moderation and Subsequent Action

This process involves Training Services Tasmania instigating an internal moderation process to

maintain consistency and validity of the assessment and delivery process. Moderation meetings will

involve all civil construction assessors/trainers and will be held on demand, but at least annually.

The civil construction program moderation process will provide the opportunity for Training

Services Tasmania workplace assessors/trainers to discuss issues relating to the implementation of

the Training Package, audit one another’s candidate files for consistency of assessment decisions and

generally provide an opportunity to network and compare notes.

A formal record of the meetings will be kept and outcomes will be actioned and recorded.

Quality Indicators

During the course of a traineeship, Training Services Tasmania’s personnel will provide trainees the

opportunity to provide feedback through the use of Client Feedback Sheets or Delivery Review

Reports.

The feedback sheets are to be handed out to trainees after every major on site assessment or

classroom based course.

These are to be issued to trainees with an envelope (that is to be sealed by the trainees) after they

have completed the form.

During the course of the year, Training Services Tasmania will send (to all current or recently

completed employers) a feedback/survey sheet to be filled out by a company representative.

These should be mailed out at least 6 monthly.

The information obtained from these feedback sheets shall be analysed by the General Manager and

acted upon if necessary.

Staff Professional Development

All Training Services Tasmania staff involved in the delivery of the Civil Construction Training

Package will be provided with the opportunity to access appropriate professional development to

support their personal skill development.

Professional development will focus on three aspects of the assessor/trainer’s skill requirements:

1. Technical qualifications as a civil construction worker. This involves all staff being

technically qualified to the level to which they are assessing and the maintenance of that skill

set.

2. Assessor/trainer qualifications. This involves all assessors being assessor qualified and

ultimately being qualified to Certificate IV in TAE.

3. Other skill areas. This program focuses on emerging issues such as ASQA compliance

requirements and other issues as required.

Responsible Behaviour

Training Services Tasmania has an assessor–candidate relationships policy which broadly outlines

the responsible behaviour required of both the trainer/assessor and candidate while

training/assessment is undertaken. A copy of this policy is available to any candidate who wishes to

see it.

Training Services Tasmania’s staff have a responsibility to behave in an ethical and objective

manner and candidates are also obliged to respond by providing all of the information that is

requested by the trainer. No candidate should act in an irresponsible manner while training is being

undertaken, as it may endanger the trainee, work colleagues and/or the trainer.

If the behaviour of either the trainee or the trainer is considered by either party to be inappropriate,

that behaviour will be reported to either the trainee’s supervisor or the trainer’s manager.

Appropriate action would then follow from the relevant organisation and may result in disciplinary

procedures.
