Hand applied screed markings - Refresher
Overview
Duration
Minimum 1 and a half days of 9 learning hours
Purpose/scope
The purpose of hand applied screed markings - refresher standard is for delegates who have previously passed training to the full hand applied screed markings standard or subsequent refresher training and can provide proof of attendance.
Occupational relevance
Training delivered against this standard would be relevant to the following occupational group(s):
- operative and craft to level 2
- supervision
Delegates pre-requisites
Delegates must have successfully completed training to the hand applied screed markings standard or subsequent refresher hand applied screed markings years prior to attending this refresher.
Instruction/supervision
As a minimum, course trainers must be able to demonstrate that, in relation to this standard, they have:
- an award in education and training (or equivalent, as per requirements for approved training organisations)
- successfully completed training to this standard
- at least 2 years relevant industrial experience
- a verifiable CV
Delivery
The following methods may be used in the delivery of this standard:
- practical training: off the job simulated environment (not on the roads)
- theory training: classroom, e-learning, or a combination
The class size and delegate/trainer ratio must allow training to be delivered in a safe manner and enable candidates to achieve the learning outcomes.
All materials and equipment must be of a suitable quality and quantity for delegates to achieve learning outcomes and must comply with relevant legislation.
Learning should include at least 25% of learning activities to suit scenario examples and simulated practical examples.
Demonstrate operation of mobile equipment and vehicles, with delegates as passengers and observers, off the road, in a closed-access area.
Delegates may be able to try some basic practical tasks under close supervision and coaching, off the job, after a risk assessment has been completed and risks addressed. This is merely to sample the range of work types, not to gain competency.
This standard is considered to contain 51% or more practical training.
Assessment
Methods of assessment considered appropriate for training delivered against this standard are:
For the successful completion of training, delegates must complete an end of course practical assessment and knowledge test that measures all learning outcomes and has a pass or fail criteria.
Where this training is assessed using multiple-choice questions, a minimum of 10 questions must be asked and delegates are required to achieve an overall pass mark of at least 80%.
Quality assurance
Assured
Quality assurance against this standard will require initial approval of the training organisation and their content mapped to the standard.
CITB will also conduct an approval intervention, either desk-based or centre visit, to ensure the training organisation can meet the requirements of the training standard.
Approved training organisations (ATOs) will be required to present information on records of training and assessment upon request to CITB for desk-based analysis. They will also be visited annually by the CITB quality assurance team.
Renewal
Refresher every 3 years
Classification
Mandatory Renewal
Approval date
November 2018
