11

How is this 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 Strategy for the sector, or

• as part of a training programme.

Assessment Strategy

The Assessment Strategy for this qualification has been included in Annexe E. It has been developed by ConstructionSkills 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.


12

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 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 following examples:

• 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).

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.

http://www.edexcel.com/�


13

Additional requirements

The Joint Awarding Body and the SSC Working Practices Group have identified additional requirements that are needed to assess and quality assure qualifications placed on the QCF that use NVQ within their title. These requirements are shown in Annexe D: Additional requirements for qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF.


14

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 B.

What resources are required?

Each qualification is designed to support learners working in the Construction and the Built Environment sector. Physical resources need to support the delivery of the qualification and the assessment of the learning outcomes and must be of industry standard. Centres must meet any specific resource requirements outlined in Annexe E: Assessment Strategy. Staff assessing the learner must meet the requirements within the overarching Assessment Strategy for the sector.

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.

Annexe B: 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 around 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 for 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 process where practicable. Therefore, the specific arrangements for working with centres will vary. Edexcel seeks to ensure that the quality assurance processes that it uses do not place undue bureaucratic processes on centres and works to support centres 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, which is 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.


236

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.


237

Annexe C: 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 through ensuring that the awarding of these qualifications is secure. Where there are quality issues identified in the delivery of programmes, Edexcel will exercise the right to:

• direct centres to take actions

• 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 qualification 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 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.

Purpose of document

1 The purpose of this document is to make clear what additional requirements are needed to assess and quality assure qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF.

2 When an SSC/SSB and awarding organisation wants to use the title NVQ in the naming of a qualification within the QCF, the awarding organisation is required to make sure this qualification is assessed and quality assured in accordance with these additional requirements and other requirements described in the SSC/SSB Assessment Strategy.

3 The aims of these additional requirements are to:

• ensure that all competence based qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF are

o assessed consistently

o quality assured consistently

• maintain the integrity of qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF

• establish the NVQ brand within the QCF

• keep bureaucracy associated with assessment and quality assurance of qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF to a minimum.


241

Background

4 1“At the heart of an NVQ is the concept of occupational competence; the ability to perform to the standards required in employment across a range of circumstances and to meet changing demands. NVQs are first and foremost about what people can do. They go beyond technical skills to include planning, problem solving, dealing with unexpected occurrences, working with other people and applying the knowledge and understanding that underpins overall competence”.

5 NVQs are based entirely on National Occupational Standards (NOS) developed by an SSC/SSB, which describe the competence needed in an occupational role.

6 Qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF must comply with the rules of combination determined by the SSC/SSB. Awarding organisations are not allowed to develop another qualification that does not use the title NVQ within the QCF, if it uses the same rules of combination as a qualification that does use the title NVQ within the QCF.

7 The QCF offers increased flexibility in the way occupational competence can be assessed and demonstrated. Qualifications that use the title NVQ in the title within the QCF are just one way of assessing and demonstrating occupational competence. SSCs/SSBs are free to work with their awarding organisations to agree what qualifications will be used to assess occupational competence. Qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF, are not a preferred method for assessing occupational competence and all qualifications accredited through the QCF have equal status.

8 When developing a qualification for the QCF, including qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF, an awarding organisation must be a recognised awarding organisation and must meet the Qualification Requirements in the Regulatory Arrangements for the Qualifications and Credit Framework, published by The Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual) in August 2008.

9 The qualification regulators confirmed that a group of SSCs and SSBs would be free to develop specific, additional requirements about the way in which qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF will be assessed and quality assured. For those recognised awarding organisations that want to assess occupational competence through the use of qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF, it has been agreed by SSCs and SSBs that the following additional requirements must be met.

1 NCVQ’s NVQ Criteria and Guidance 1995.

Additional requirements for qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF

Introduction

10 Qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF must be assessed and quality assured in accordance with the following additional requirements.

Assessment requirements

11 When a qualification uses the title NVQ within the QCF, awarding organisations are required to make sure their recognised assessment centres understand how learners are to be assessed.

12 Assessment methodologies must meet the Assessment Strategy developed in partnership between the relevant SSC or SSB and awarding organisations for the qualification. The Assessment Strategy must be published and made available separately and will include the requirements for assessment of qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF. The assessment criteria for each unit will be part of the units that make up the qualification.

13 Learners must complete real work activities in order to produce evidence to demonstrate they have met the NOS and are occupationally competent.

14 When a learner cannot complete a real work activity, simulation is allowed.

15 Simulation is allowed when:

• a learner is required to complete a work activity that does not occur on a regular basis and therefore opportunities to complete a particular work activity do not easily arise

• a learner is required to respond to a situation that rarely occurs, such as responding to an emergency situation

• the safety of a learner, other individuals and/or resources will be put at risk.

16 When simulation is used, assessors must be confident that the simulation replicates the workplace to such an extent that learners will be able to fully transfer their occupational competence to the workplace and real situations.

17 Units that must not be assessed by simulation must be identified by the SSC/SSB in the Assessment Strategy for the qualification or family of qualifications.


243

18 Learners must be assessed by assessors:

• who are occupationally competent in the occupational areas they are assessing where they have sufficient and relevant technical/occupational competence in the unit, at or above the level of the unit being assessed and as defined by the Assessment Strategy for that qualification

• 2who must hold or be working towards a suitable assessor qualification to confirm they understand assessment and how to assess learners

• must be fully conversant with the unit(s) against which the assessments and verification are to be undertaken.

19 All assessors must carry out assessment to the standards specified in the A units.

20 All assessment decisions made by a trainee assessor must be checked by a qualified assessor or an assessor recognised by an awarding organisation.

21 Trainee assessors must have a plan, which is overseen by the recognised assessment centre, to achieve the relevant assessor qualification(s) within an agreed timescale.

2 Currently an assessor could hold unit A1 and/or unit A2. Or from the past unit D32 and/or unit D33. SSCs also identify other suitable equivalent qualifications.


244

Quality assurance requirements

22 When a qualification uses the title NVQ within the QCF, awarding organisations are required to make sure their recognised assessment centres understand how the qualification will be quality assured.

23 Qualifications that use the title NVQ within the QCF, must be verified:

• internally by an internal verifier, who is accountable to the assessment centre

• externally by an external verifier, who is accountable to the awarding organisation or an agent of the awarding organisation.

24 With reference to internal verification, internal verifiers must:

• 3hold or be working towards a suitable internal verifier qualification to confirm they understand how to internally verify assessments

• have sufficient and relevant technical/occupational familiarity in the unit(s) being verified

• be fully conversant with the standards and assessment criteria in the units to be assessed

• understand the awarding organisation’s quality assurance systems and requirements for this qualification.

25 Trainee internal verifiers must have a plan, which is overseen by the recognised assessment centre, to achieve the internal verifier qualification within an agreed timescale.

26 With reference to external verification, external verifiers must:

• 4hold or be working towards a suitable external verification qualification to confirm they understand and are able to carry out external verification

• have no connections with the assessment centre, in order to maintain objectivity

• have sufficient and relevant technical/occupational understanding in the unit(s) being verified

• be fully conversant with the standards and performance criteria in the units to be assessed

• understand the awarding organisation’s quality assurance systems for this qualification.

27 Trainee external verifiers must have a plan, which is overseen by the awarding organisation, to achieve the external verifier qualification within an agreed timescale.

3 Currently an internal verifier needs to hold unit V1. Or from the past unit D34. SSCs also identify other suitable equivalent qualifications. 4 Currently an external verifier needs to hold unit V2. Or from the past unit D35.


245

28 Awarding organisations must decide the frequency of external monitoring activities. Any decision must be based on:

• the risks associated with a qualification that is designed to help a learner demonstrate occupational competence

• an evaluation of the centre’s performance and past record.

29 Awarding organisations will have in place suitably constituted audit processes, which are supported by naturally occurring quality assurance and monitoring systems that already exist in workplace assessment environments.
