Employer response in progress Project controls professional (L5 or L6) EOI being written ecitb.org.uk 13 Current ECITB Apprentice Standard Involvement Current issue for TB Groups External Quality Assurance (EQA) Most early TBs used approved holding statement to avoid finalising choice of EQA organisation. IfA now pushing for each group to decide who will provide their EQA. Choice between: employer group, professional institution, OFQAL or IfA (last resort). ECITB is offering to provide EQA to ECI traditional disciplines. IfA recently announced a contract with Open Awards to provide EQA on their behalf. New IfA website, user friendly and well laid out IfA may switch off static standards that are not progressing. ecitb.org.uk 14 7

8 Qualifications Reform Programme This project is to reform ECITB qualifications to support the move from QCF to RQF, to incorporate feedback from last year s employer workshops and to offer alternative assessment options: Currently more than 35 qualifications at levels 2-5. Eliminate low-use qualifications. Refresh the qualifications and combine groups using pathways within the qualification and mandatory units assessed in context. Reduce duplication within and across qualifications. Revise assessment methodology to make achievement outside the workplace possible. (eg simulation). We will need the support of employer technical representatives to review other qualifications later in the year.(england) We will need the support of employer technical representatives to review new qualifications in Scotland early 2018 Completion due end 2017 (England), end of March 2018 (Scotland). Scottish and English Qualification content the same but format different (SQA/RQF). ecitb.org.uk 15 Qualifications Reform Programme Existing VQ under QCF L3 Diploma in maintaining engineering construction plant and systems: Electrical, Instrumentation & and Control, Mechanical. L3 Diploma in Erecting Engineering Construction Capital Plant Steel Structures L3 Diploma in Moving Engineering Construction Loads L3 Diploma in installing engineering construction plant and systems -electrical L3 Diploma in installing engineering construction plant and systems -mechanical fitting L3 Diploma in installing engineering construction plant and systems - plating L3 Diploma in installing engineering construction plant and systems - pipefitting Proposed RQF qualifications L3 Diploma engineering construction maintenance (RQF) electrical OR instrument and control OR mechanical. One qualification, 3 pathways ECITB L3 Diploma in engineering construction lifting, positioning and installing structures, plant and equipment (RQF) erecting OR rigging. One qualification, 2 pathways L3 Diploma in installing engineering construction plant and systems (RQF) electrical fitting or mechanical fitting or plating or pipe fitting One qualification, 4 pathways L3 Diploma in engineering construction design and draughting Proposed title: L3 Diploma in engineering design and draughting L3 Diploma in cost engineering practice Proposed title: L3 Diploma in project controls L3 Diploma in estimating practice L3 Diploma in planning practice L3 Diploma in project controls One qualification covering all core project controls skills at level 3 ecitb.org.uk 16 8

9 Qualifications Reform Programme What do the changes look like? An example for Maintenance: Single qualification covering Mechanical, Electrical, Instrument & Controls; with each a separate outcome: ECITB Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Construction Maintenance - Electrical (RQF) ECITB Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Construction Maintenance - Instrumentation and Control (RQF) ECITB Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Construction Maintenance - Mechanical (RQF) Individuals register for a single pathway. Nine units, all mandatory, trained and assessed in pathway context, not transferable to other pathways. ecitb.org.uk 17 Qualifications Reform Programme Maintenance continued: Includes two units common to all: Unit 1) H&SE and behaviours and Unit 2) documentation and procedures (Inc. prepare and reinstate (diagram on next slide). Knowledge assessed through online tests. Skills assessed through observed practical assessment which can take place in the work-place either on-the-job or through AO-approved simulation or in an Assessment centre simulated using ECITB Technical tests. Two published documents: Qualification Summary (RQF-specified, public) and Approved Centre Qualification Requirements (contains assessment detail for each pathway). We also supply the AO with the calculation of TQT and a summary of communications for their approval process. A contract has just been placed to develop Technical Tests (knowledge questions and practical tests) for the new qualifications ecitb.org.uk 18 9

10 Qualifications Reform Programme An example of Maintenance assessment: Units 1 & 2 assessed through observation during observed practical assessment of units 3-9. ecitb.org.uk 19 Other projects ECITB Knowledge Qualification In development. May consist of tiered approach: Level 2 general principles, nearly completed and ready for submission to ECITB Q&A committee. Level 3 common element leading into occupation specific principles going out to tender. Cover main ECITB occupations. Mitigate concern that current technical certificates used to support ECI occupations could be withdrawn due to low take up. Volunteers required to help support development process contact paul.rice@ecitb.org.uk Review of MJI and SBT structure and tests: Minor structural changes. Slight changes to tests including expansion of test bank questions. New model launched Q ecitb.org.uk 20 10
