How is the qualification graded and assessed?

The overall grade for the 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.

The 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 have been included in Annexe C. They have been developed by EU Skills 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.


7

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 be read in conjunction with the assessment strategy in Annexe C)

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 examples below. Centres should refer to the assessment strategy for information and guidance about which of the following are permissible.

direct observation of the learner’s performance by their assessor (O)

outcomes from oral or written questioning (Q&A)

products of the learner’s work (P)

personal statements and/or reflective accounts (RA)

outcomes from simulation, where permitted by the assessment strategy (S)

professional discussion (PD)

assignment, project/case studies (A)

authentic statements/witness testimony (WT)

expert witness testimony (EPW)

evidence of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

The abbreviations may be used for cross-referencing purposes.

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.


8

Centre recognition and approval

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 A.

What resources are required?

Each qualification is designed to support learners working in the waste management and recycling sector. Physical resources need to support the delivery of the qualifications and the assessment of the learning outcomes and must be of industry standard.


9

Unit format

Each unit in this specification contains the following sections.

Unit title:

Unit reference number:

QCF level:

Credit value:

Guided learning hours:

Unit summary:

Assessment requirements/evidence requirements:

Assessment methodology:

Learning outcomes:

Assessment criteria:

Evidence type:

Portfolio reference:

Date:

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.

95

Annexe A: Quality assurance

Key principles of quality assurance

A centre delivering Edexcel qualifications must be an Edexcel recognised centre and must have approval for qualifications that it is offering.

The centre agrees, as part of gaining recognition, to abide by specific terms and conditions relating to the effective delivery and quality assurance of assessment. The centre must abide by these conditions throughout the period of delivery.

Edexcel makes available to approved centres a range of materials and opportunities to exemplify the processes required for effective assessment and provide examples of effective standards. Approved centres must use the guidance on assessment to ensure that staff who are delivering Edexcel qualifications are applying consistent standards.

An approved centre must follow agreed protocols for: standardisation of assessors; planning, monitoring and recording of assessment processes; internal verification and recording of internal verification processes and dealing with special circumstances, appeals and malpractice.

Quality assurance processes

The approach to quality assured assessment is made through a partnership between a recognised centre and Edexcel. Edexcel is committed to ensuring that it follows best practice and employs appropriate technology to support quality assurance processes where practicable. The specific arrangements for working with centres will vary. Edexcel seeks to ensure that the quality-assurance processes it uses do not inflict undue bureaucratic processes on centres, and works to support them in providing robust quality-assurance processes.

The learning outcomes and assessment criteria in each unit within this specification set out the standard to be achieved by each learner in order to gain each qualification. Edexcel operates a quality-assurance process, designed to ensure that these standards are maintained by all assessors and verifiers.

For the purposes of quality assurance, all individual qualifications and units are considered as a whole. Centres offering these qualifications must be committed to ensuring the quality of the units and qualifications they offer, through effective standardisation of assessors and internal verification of assessor decisions. Centre quality assurance and assessment processes are monitored by Edexcel.


96

The Edexcel quality-assurance processes will involve:

gaining centre recognition and qualification approval if a centre is not currently approved to offer Edexcel qualifications

annual visits to centres by Edexcel for quality review and development of overarching processes and quality standards. Quality review and development visits will be conducted by an Edexcel quality development reviewer

annual visits by occupationally competent and qualified Edexcel Standards Verifiers for sampling of internal verification and assessor decisions for the occupational sector

the provision of support, advice and guidance towards the achievement of National Occupational Standards.

Centres are required to declare their commitment to ensuring quality and appropriate opportunities for learners that lead to valid and accurate assessment outcomes. In addition, centres will commit to undertaking defined training and online standardisation activities.


97

Annexe B: Centre certification and registration

Edexcel Standards Verifiers will provide support, advice and guidance to centres to achieve Direct Claims Status (DCS). Edexcel will maintain the integrity of Edexcel QCF NVQs/competence qualifications through ensuring that their awarding is secure. Where there are quality issues identified in the delivery of programmes, Edexcel will exercise the right to:

direct centres to take action

limit or suspend certification

suspend registration.

The approach of Edexcel in such circumstances is to work with the centre to overcome the problems identified. If additional training is required, Edexcel will aim to secure the appropriate expertise to provide this.

What are the access arrangements and special considerations for the qualifications in this specification?

Centres are required to recruit learners to Edexcel qualifications with integrity.

Appropriate steps should be taken to assess each applicant’s potential and a professional judgement should be made about their ability to successfully complete the programme of study and achieve the qualification. This assessment will need to take account of the support available to the learner within the centre during their programme of study and any specific support that might be necessary to allow the learner to access the assessment for the qualification. Centres should consult Edexcel’s policy on learners with particular requirements.

Edexcel’s policy on access arrangements and special considerations for Edexcel qualifications aims to enhance access to the qualifications for learners with disabilities and other difficulties (as defined by the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act and the amendments to the Act) without compromising the assessment of skills, knowledge, understanding or competence. Please refer to Access Arrangements and Special Considerations for BTEC and Edexcel NVQ Qualifications for further details. www.edexcel.com.

Annexe C: Assessment requirements/strategy

THE ENERGY AND UTILITIES ASSESSMENT STRATEGY IN THE GAS, POWER (including renewable), WATER AND WASTE MANAGEMENT SECTORS

This strategy consists of the core requirements, common across the footprints, covering competency-based qualifications.

Sector specific requirements are specified in Appendices E (Water) and F (Gas).

Principles for assessment of evidence

Awarding bodies/organisations should:

1 Ensure the learner’s workplace is used as the predominant assessment location and naturally occurring workplace evidence is the primary source for determining competence. EU Skills will specify any exceptions to this position. An environment similar to the learner’s own workplace (such as another site, plant etc) can be used to demonstrate experience where it is not possible within the learner’s own workplace. For learners on Programme-led Apprenticeships (MAs in Scotland), there is no dilution of EU Skills requirements for predominant evidence of performance to be generated within an actual work environment.

2 Incorporate systems, within the external verification processes, which ensure learners evidence reflects adequate performance of competence ‘over time’

3 Ensure the assessment methods in the vocational qualifications reflect requirements for the different types of evidence likely to be generated at appropriate levels in line with regulatory bodies and nations. For example, more use of observation may be appropriate at lower levels but used less in higher levels. Observation will not be the sole method of assessment.

4 Be able to make use of assessment carried out in a realistic work environment in (Specified in APPENDIX A) situations where a learner’s inexperience might result in danger or seriously compromise other aspects of the organisation and its work.

5 Control the use of simulation as supporting evidence for performance in the workplace. This also applies to learners on Programme-led Apprenticeships (does not apply in Scotland).


100

6 Reserve the right to refuse the use of assessment in a realistic work environment or other simulated environment where it considers the rigour and integrity of assessment could be compromised. The centre should be provided with a written explanation.

7 Promote the use of high quality witness testimony as a means of value-added and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy in the assessment process. EU Skills provide further details about witness testimony (Specified in Appendix D)

8 Ensure performance evidence is supported by the required knowledge evidence. Assessors should be guided on the use of oral and written assessment to cover fully the area being assessed and to satisfy the reliability of evidence from non-observed sources or witness testimony. The awarding body should provide if appropriate a template specification for assessment questioning. This will offer consistency across centres and flexibility for centres to use questions relevant to their own situations. Where there is industry requirements for external assessment of a specified vocational qualification, EU Skills and the awarding body will work together and agree the appropriate method.

9 Supporting the use of other qualifications as valuable contributions to evidence of competence

10 Work with other awarding bodies where appropriate (and EU Skills where relevant) to develop materials to enable consistent interpretation of the national occupational standards. For example, question banks, common vocational qualifications, assessment and evidence requirements or other materials with sheets and responses to questions identifying key points or preparing a glossary of terms to support the qualification where appropriate.

11 Identify and utilise any appropriate prior leaning and experience which is current as evidence for the qualification.

Independent Assessment

Awarding bodies/organisations will:

12 Preserve a measure of independence across all assessment locations and situations and maintain rigour in assessment practices, by adopting industry requirements. Industry requirements will be included in the appropriate sector appendix.

Assessment in a realistic work environment (To carry out assessment in a realistic work environment the guidelines shown at APPENDIX A must be used).


101


13 Provide centres with a specification for a realistic work environment which meets the requirements of this assessment strategy. See Appendix A.

14 Operate systems which ensure on-site inspection is carried out to confirm the environment meets the specification.

15 Ensure the external verification process incorporates ongoing monitoring to ensure the facilities remain compliant with the specification.

16 Ensure the external verification process incorporates procedures centres can use to get prior confirmation on the appropriateness of using planned assessment in a realistic work environment.

Simulation


17 Provide centres with guidance on where simulation can be used. (See Appendix B). Guidance on simulation will also be highlighted in the appropriate sector appendix.

18 Ensure the external verification process incorporates procedures which centres can use to get prior confirmation on the appropriateness of using a planned simulation outside EU Skills specification. (See APPENDIX B Simulated Activities for Vocational Qualifications).

Enhanced external quality assurance of assessment


19 Use analytical monitoring to provide information on the performance of centres and assessors over time to inform external verification visits and training and development events.

20 Carry out a risk assessment of organisations seeking to be approved centres.

21 Apply risk assessed quality assurance and control to all approved centres.

22 Operate a system for succession planning of its pool of external verifiers.

23 Operate a system for monitoring continuing professional development for both newly appointed and existing external verifiers.


102

24 Incorporate standards and relevant industry documentation within the vocational qualification where there is such statutory requirements to be satisfied (eg HSE, OFWAT, OFGEN).

25 Operates systems for sharing best practice with and between centres.

26 Offer opportunities for centres to contribute to, or keep up-to-date with, latest developments in qualification matters.

27 Operate a system which ensures there is consistency across geographical spread of approved centres.

28 Provide feedback, at least annually, to centres and EU Skills on issues related to the national occupational standards and their effectiveness in vocational qualifications.

29 Attend and contribute to the EU Skills Awarding Body Forum and E Forum.


103

APPENDIX A

Realistic Work environment (RWE) for Vocational Qualifications

Organisations wishing to operate a Realistic Work Environment must operate an environment which reflects a real work setting. This will ensure any competence achieved in this way will be sustained in a real employment. Where new national occupational standards are developed, EU Skills will use a decision matrix to determine the units where assessment of this type can be carried out.

The following contexts are illustrations where assessment in a realistic work environment might be used:

Where demonstration of emergency shutdown and related safety procedures would be dangerous and/or disruptive to plant/environment/individuals; too costly such as total plant shutdown or dealing with spillage of dangerous substances; where issues of confidentiality restrict access to real work opportunities.

Demonstrating specific aspects of the operation which rarely or never occur because of effective quality assurance systems.

The capacity to integrate disparate knowledge to cope with unforeseen events and to solve problems.

Aspects of working relationships and communications where no opportunity has been presented for the use of naturally occurring workplace evidence of learner’s performance.

Conditions of assessment in a RWE

To undertake the assessment in a RWE the following conditions must be met:

1 Assessments must be carried out under realistic work pressures that are found in the normal industry workplace

2 Assessments must be carried out in conditions and facilities which are typical of those encountered in the normal industry workplace

3 The range of materials, equipment and tools that learners use must be up-to-date and be of the type routinely found in the normal industry workplace environments

4 All work carried out should be completed in a way, and to a timescale, that is acceptable in the normal industry workplace

5 Learners must interact with the range of personnel and contractors found in the normal industry workplace


104

6 Learners must be expected to achieve a volume of work comparable to that expected in the normal work situation being replicated

7 Learners must be given workplace responsibilities that will enable them to meet the requirements of the national occupational standards

8 Learners must show their productivity reflects that found in the work situation being replicated

9 The RWE must take into account legislation, regulations, codes of practice, etc, which pertain to the regulated environment

10 The RWE must be managed as a real work situation.


105

APPENDIX B

Simulated activities for Vocational Qualifications

Energy and Utility Skills defines simulated activities as those which are carried out without the environment resources or equipment found within the workplace and involve acting or other scenarios which are not ‘real’ work tasks. Where new national occupational standards are developed, EU Skills will advise where simulation might be used.

Conditions for simulation

The simulated situation can represent situations which rarely occur or are exceptional in any other way.

The people taking part in the simulation must have a brief which gives sufficient information to them to recognise the equivalent real situation and decide what they would do and say.

The people taking the parts of other personnel or contractors or customers must be credible for the situation that is being simulated

The simulated situation should not require the learners to experience unusually difficult circumstances which are outside the normal scope of the job role.

qualifications/training that has been mapped to A and V Units by awarding bodies.

An employer direct model as an alternative to assessors and verifiers achieving the A and V Units can be used.

This model allows employer/alternative training, which is endorsed by the awarding body, to be used as a means of demonstrating assessor and verifier competence.

Where this model is used EU Skills would require awarding bodies to have mapped the training against the A and V Unit competences to ensure that there is a direct match.

identified any gaps and ensured that alternative evidence to demonstrate full competence is provided.

provide written endorsement which indicates acceptance of the training as a direct equivalent to the A and V Units.

Both the letter of endorsement and mapping of the employer/alternative training to the A and V Units will be required and reviewed by EU Skills and will also be reviewed by SQA Accreditation during the awarding body audit activity.

APPENDIX D

Witness testimony

EU Skills supports the use of witness testimony as a natural and effective way of contributing to a candidate’s source of evidence of competence. Nonetheless, the quality of this type of evidence will be affected by knowledge the witness has about the vocational qualification requirements and their own competence in the occupational role.

As a minimum, witness should be:

fully briefed and clear about the purpose and use of the testimony

able to demonstrate they have the necessary expertise in the occupational area for which they are providing testimony.

Expert witnesses should be:

occupationally competent in the functions covered by the units to which they are contributing. This competence will have been gained by working in the energy and utilities sector

maintaining their occupational competence by engaging in continuing professional development activities to keep up-to-date with developments and changes taking place within energy and utilities sector

working currently, or within the last year, in a post directly related to the vocational qualification units they are witnessing

familiar with the national occupational standards and be able to interpret current working practices and technologies within the area of work

have had an appropriate induction to the Energy and Utility Skills national occupational standards, the awarding body and assessment centre requirements and have ongoing support by way of access to updating and other issues connected with the qualifications.

1. ASSESSMENT OF CANDIDATE EVIDENCE

2. INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT

3. ENHANCED EXTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE OF ASSESSMENT

Waste Management Sector

Independent assessment

Enhanced external quality assurance of assessment

Recycling

The awarding body will operate a system for sampling specified units at all external verification visits. The units should be determined by perceived risk to the assessment process.

The awarding body will operate a system which ensures assessors will not assess candidates for whom they have line management responsibility or any unit for which they have been involved in training that candidate (this does not apply to mentoring-type activities) Where a centre cannot meet this requirement, the awarding body can agree 100% external verification for the following units:

ensure health and safety requirements are met in your area of responsibility.

The awarding body must provide guidance to accompany each of the units ‘Managing a budget’ which ensures candidates who have previously achieved units ‘Conduct an assessment of risks’ (Unit G ENTO) and ‘Ensure health and safety requirements are met in your area of responsibility’ (MSC E6) within a lower level NVQ/SVQ demonstrate continuing competence at the higher level 7.
