New level 2 diploma in painting decorating tcm9 34367 by paintinglevel2

Training Qualification Review 2013 What is changing? ROC and units have been reviewed to ensure that there is consistency across all the new training qualifications. The knowledge and skills units have been combined into one integrated unit and have been improved to create a more streamlined, user friendly layout. By removing repetition and reviewing the units against the current NOS the content is now up-to-date and clearer to deliver. All Core Units that sit across the Diplomas have been reviewed and updated to reflect current NOS and customer feedback. They are now purely knowledge based units with the relevant skills elements incorporated into the occupational units. We have been able to include Level 1 core units within some Level 2 qualifications and also some Level 2 core units within Level 3 qualifications. The main aim of these new core units is to give every learner, whether studying full time or on an apprenticeship framework, an overview of the range of knowledge applicable and transferable

across a range of occupational areas within the construction and associated industries. Credit values and GLHs have been reviewed and updated with input from trainers/lecturers to ensure that delivery of the new units is appropriate, reflective of current QCF guidelines and maximise new funding regimes. Notes for Guidance for the units – we are looking at how we can improve these to ensure that they will give you the support you need in delivering these new qualifications. Unit referencing – all new units will have new unit references and a full matrix will be supplied to enable you to map the old units to the new ones. New Practical Assignments and Knowledge Question and Answer Banks are being developed for each unit to give flexibility for delivery.

Qualification specific changes for Level 2 Diploma in Painting and Decorating Rules of Combination (ROC) – the ROC have been changed as detailed above for all qualifications being reviewed. Also unit CC2024 – Erect and dismantle access platform and working platforms has been replaced with Level 1 unit CSA-L1Occ12 – Erect and dismantle access equipment and working platforms. Credit values and Guided Learning Hours (GLH) have changed as follows: Current minimum credit value: 86

See overleaf for more details.

Support and Guidance To support these new qualifications; we are reviewing the Synoptic Practical Assignments (SPA) that support the qualifications and developing new Practical Assignments for each unit. These new unit assignments will give you the flexibility of delivering them either unit by unit, groups of units or still continue to deliver synoptically at the end of the training. All new assignments have been developed to ensure they are not too prescriptive, reflect current industry practises and are cost effective without compromising quality. We are also developing new Question and Answer Banks for each unit, which will be delivered through the new Cskills Awards testing platform, again allowing flexibility on their delivery; unit by unit, group of units or at the end of the training to suit all individual learners’ needs. Paper based tests will also remain available. These new knowledge tests will replace the current unit Question and Answer Banks and the end knowledge test delivered through Evolve. Watch out for further information on the new knowledge and skills tests in the March inserts.

• All new training qualifications will be available through the qualification search facility on the website, making it easier to find the information you need to support you with the delivery of the new qualifications. • The new Practical Assignments will be available through a new secure area on Awards on-line (AOL). • The new Question and Answer Banks will be delivered through the new Cskills Awards testing platform. • A matrix to show you old to new qualifications and units will be provided. • Guidance on Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) from old to new units. • Where you can find old qualification information from 01 August 2013. • Dedicated area on the Cskills Awards website to support the transition to the new qualifications.

Review status • All new units and qualifications reviewed and agreed by Product Development Groups are now in the process of being submitted to Ofqual for approval and regulation in time for an April 2013 launch.

• Following regulation you will be able to see all new qualifications on The Register, giving you full information on the ROC, units, credit values/GLHs and the new Ofqual QRN.
