Among the many components of the project, one is to promote a Market Responsive
Inclusive Skills Training Delivery program. Key priority economic growth sectors identified by
government have been targeted by the project to improve current job skills along with up-skilling
of the existing workforce to ensure ‘required skills to industry standards’. Training providers are
encouraged and supported to work with the industry to address identified skills to enable
industry growth and increased employment through the provision of market responsive inclusive
skills training programs. Priority sectors were identified to adopt a demand driven approach to
training with effective inputs from Industry Skills Councils (ISCs), Employer Associations and
Employers.
This document is developed to improve skills in accordance with the job roles and skill
sets of the occupation and ensure that the required skills are aligned to industry requirements.
The document details the format, sequencing, wording and layout of the Competency
Standard for an occupation which comprised Units of Competence and its corresponding
Elements.
OVERVIEW:
Competency Standards are developed by a working group who comprised national and
international process experts and the participation of experts from the industry to identify the
competencies required of an occupation in a particular sector.
Competency Standards describe the skills, knowledge and attitude needed to perform
effectively in the workplace. Competency Standards acknowledge that people can achieve
vocational and technical competency in many ways by emphasizing what the learner can do,
not how or where they learned to do it.
Identification and validation of units of competency and elements for each occupation
were made by experts of various construction companies through an industry consultative
workshop held at the Bangladesh Association of Construction Industry (BACI) on the 14th of
February 2016. Another competency verification workshop with the participation of industry
experts, trainers and the experts from BTEB was held at the SDCMU conference room on 29
August 2016 to further verify and revalidate the units of competencies, performance criteria,
range of variables, learning sequence and quality of learning provision.
Profile of experts and facilitators who participated in the Competency Verification and
Validation Workshop are given below.

3.10 Assessor’s Quick Start
Define assessment.
A helpful example in this regard is the driving test. The driver must prove his competence to
drive by demonstrating to the driving assessor his ability to do so. The driving assessor uses a
checklist to assess the candidate and make the necessary recommendations, based on the
evidence he has collected in observing the candidate’s driving. S/He either
records/recommends that the candidate is competent or not yet competent.
The Purpose of Assessment is to confirm that a trainee can perform competently to the
standards expected in the workplace.
It must be noted that a competency standard is made up of individual units of competency that
include elements of competency as well as the performance criteria needed to accomplish
them.
An assessment tool is, in effect, an evidence-gathering tool. It contains both the instrument used
for the assessment and instructions for gathering evidence in the assessment process. As an
assessment instrument it contains the context and conditions for the assessment; tasks to be
administered to the learner; an outline of the evidence to be gathered for the learner; the criteria
for judging the evidence; and the necessary housekeeping records for recording and reporting
requirements.
The role of Assessor is the heart and soul of effective competency based assessment. Without
this pivotal role, determining the competency of the trainee is mere guesswork.
Note:
The Industry Assessor will be asked to provide specs and practical demonstration tests
from his workplace that will provide the evidence for determining competency.
The importance of this input cannot be overemphasized for it best matches and tests the
required performance criteria from the Standard.
Describe the basic questions that an Assessor must ask when planning an
Assessment.
Requirements/Competencies of an Assessor-
The ability to use assessment tools to gather evidence effectively is essential, adjusting
the language where necessary to reflect the language/literacy/numeracy levels of the
workplace and not to exceed them in order to ensure learner understanding. This will
also entail an ability to respond to learner needs such as responding to learner disability.
The skill to develop specifications and practical tests, based on performance criteria, that
provide evidence of competency that will fast track the assessment process.
The ability to clearly demonstrate current industry skills and competencies relevant to
the Standard.
The Trainer acts as a primary resource for the Assessor and acts as a Facilitator.
Trainer ensures:
All industry required tools, equipment, and materials are available for the assessment
The training venue is booked and has sufficient space for demonstrations/tasks
That all logistics such as admission slips, signature sheets, and records are readily
available for distribution and collection
That all teaching materials and Standard documents and Assessment tools are ready for
the Assessor
Evidence is information that is gathered and matched against a Unit of Competency to provide
proof of competency.
Describe and outline what is involved in “rules of evidence” and why they
are important.
Rules of Evidence Table
Valid The assessor is given assurance that the learner possesses the
skills, knowledge, and attitudes described in the Unit of
Competency and related assessment requirements
Sufficient The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity, and relevance
of the evidence is sufficient to enable a judgment to be made on
the learner’s competency
The evidence guide provides useful advice on Unit of Competency assessment and must be
read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required underpinning
skills/knowledge/attitudes, range statement, and the critical aspects of competency for the
Standard.
Evidence is the information gathered that provides proof that the performance criteria of a unit of
competency has been met. Evidence can take many forms:
Describe the kinds of Assessment Methods that can be used for Evidence
gathering purposes.
Various kinds of Assessment Methods can be used for Evidence gathering purposes. A wide
range of assessment methods are available for Evidence- gathering purposes. Assessment
methods are not limited to those listed below. The greater the range of assessment methods
applied, the better the accuracy of the assessment.
Methods Examples
Methods Examples
Advice to the Assessor: use these methods and examples as a means of making your
assessment valid, reliable, flexible, fair, and safe.
Define the term “evidence gathering tools” and give some examples of
these tools.
Evidence gathering tools are the actual instruments that the Assessor uses to collect evidence.
Evidence may be collected through:
A collection of evidence that may be presented by the Candidate to an Assessor to prove the
Candidate’s competence at a job or task.
The Evidence Plan is the most important planning tool for an Assessor. A good evidence plan
generates a list of the evidence that the Assessor must gather when conducting the assessment
for a specific Unit of Competency. The following 6-Point Method for preparing an Evidence Plan
provides a useful sequence of inter-related steps to follow:
Following are the steps (sequence of activities) involved in developing an assessment tool:
Task Skills: the capacity to perform tasks in the workplace and demonstrate competence that
meets the required Standard;
Task Management Skills: the ability to plan and integrate several tasks simultaneously that
achieve a desired work outcome such as those skills involved in budgeting for a work operation,
securing supplies and equipment for the work operation, completing the task in a timely, cost-
effective manner, and ensuring safety practices are followed throughout;
Contingency Management Skills: the ability to respond to crises and breakdowns in the
workplace, such as accidents and emergency situations that are unanticipated and require
immediate action and resolution;
Job/Role Environment Skills: the capacity to own the responsibilities and expectations of the
work environment that involves working with others effectively and participating in creating a
work culture where all can contribute their best within the parameters of their job role
Each Unit of Competency contained in a Standard describes a distinct part of a Mason’s work
and job profile. Within each Unit of Competency, the following components appear:

Evidence Guide
As a prelude to conducting assessments, the Assessor must be thoroughly familiar with all of
the particulars and details of the Unit of Competency that is being assessed. This is a “must” for
the role of the Assessor. He must be especially familiar with the Evidence Guide for gathering
critical information.
The three sample assessment tools found below focus on the critical aspects of competency
that can provide the required evidence to determine competency- the evidence guide. These
sample assessment tools are as follows:

Observation Checklist
Oral Questions Checklist
Covering all of the key elements of the Unit of Competency under assessment
Applying rigorously the Evidence Guide for the Unit of Competency as this contains the
method and context of assessment, resources required for the assessment, the critical
aspects of competency, and the required underpinning knowledge, skills, and attitudes
Developing specifications (specs) for the task sheet for Demonstration as required
Requiring the candidate to perform project tasks that cover interrelated units of
competency- known as a “clustering.”
Making what can be termed “reasonable adjustments” for candidates with disabilities or
for example, those candidates with regional dialects that prove difficult to understand
Note: These “reasonable adjustments” may involve reconfiguring a simulated workplace site so
that a candidate’s disability does not impede the assessment process, or for example, finding
someone who can understand a regional dialect and assist the Assessor with essential
communication skills.
Prior to any assessment, the Assessor should follow the specific instructions below to ensure a
well-planned assessment event. In most cases s/he will be assisted by a Trainer. Nevertheless,
s/he should make certain that good preparation has taken place for the assessment event.
1. Visit the assessment venue or workplace to ensure an adequate work area or platform
containing:
Sufficient space for working- ensure square meters of work space enough for task to be
carried out effectively and safely
Fire extinguisher and safety equipment within reach
Emergency procedures in place
All necessary tools, equipment, and materials ready at hand
All necessary machinery in good working order
2. Assessment is drawn and extracted from the relevant Unit of Competency based on an
approved Standard and on an Evidence plan that clearly focuses on critical aspects of
competency.
4. After the Candidate has performed the task, the Assessor will provide feedback to the
Candidate on his performance.
5. The responsibility on finally deciding whether or not the Candidate was Competent or
Not Yet Competent belongs to the accredited Assessor.
6. At the conclusion of the assessment, the Assessor will provide feedback on whether or
not the Candidate was Competent or Not Yet Competent. S/He will also share information on
next steps. These next steps include where to obtain the certificate related to the assessment
or, if unsuccessful, how to re-try for competency within a specified period of time.
Prior to the assessment, you will have studied and become familiar with the Competency
Standard for the industry occupation. You will also have met with or contacted the Assessor
beforehand and discussed preparations and arrangements for the assessment. Your role will be
to facilitate the assessment process and ensure all necessary resources are available, assisting
the Assessor wherever possible. For example, once a draft spec has been produced by the
Assessor, you will ensure it is fully consistent with the evidence plan and copied appropriately
for use by both the Assessor and Candidate.
In addition to a confirming a suitable training venue and time, you will ensure that:
Sufficient space is allotted for task work- square meters of work space enough for
demonstration tasks to be carried out effectively and safely
Fire extinguisher and safety equipment within reach if necessary
Emergency procedures in place
All necessary tools, equipment, and materials ready at hand
All necessary machinery in good working order
notifying the Assessor and candidates of planned assessment events and their location
advising and assisting the Assessor on planned assessment events
collecting admission slips and signature sheets for assessment events
ensuring all required forms and reporting mechanisms are in place and ready for
distribution to the Assessor and to the Candidate
ensuring all requisite forms are duly signed and forwarded to the SEIP Office, or
certifying body
Prior to the assessment, you will have studied and become familiar with the Competency
Standard for your industry.
1. Initially, you will be given information on the task you are to perform, and the estimated
time you will require to perform it. These tasks are based on the critical aspects of competency
related to the performance criteria within the approved Competency Standard.
Given the necessary instructions, and/or a task-related spec and the necessary tools, materials,
and equipment, you will carry out and complete a work task. You will observe that there is:
Sufficient space for working- square meters of work space enough for task to be carried
out effectively and safely
Fire extinguisher and safety equipment within reach if necessary
Emergency procedures in place
All necessary tools, equipment, and materials ready at hand
All necessary machinery in good working order
2. Assessment is drawn and extracted from the relevant Unit of Competency based on the
approved Competency Standard and on an Evidence plan (proof of competence) developed by
the Assessor that clearly focuses on critical aspects of competency. The Evidence plan will be
based on critical assessment tools such as demonstration/task; observation; oral questions.
3. The duration of time to assess the demonstration should be clearly indicated, for
example, 3 hours. This information will be given to you along with other pertinent information
such as the procedure or sequence of tasks that you must follow. It is important to note that you
will be closely observed and assessed throughout the duration of your demonstration. You will
be given time to ask questions and request clarification. You will also be given 10 minutes to
familiarize yourself with the resources to be used in the assessment.
4. Based on your performance in demonstrating the task, you will be assessed by the
Assessor to be Competent or Not Yet Competent. Regardless of the result you will be given
feedback from the Assessor on your performance and the next steps.
5. After you have performed the task, the Assessor will provide feedback to you on your
performance.
7. At the conclusion of the assessment, the Assessor will provide feedback on whether or
not you have been assessed to be Competent or Not Yet Competent. Both your signatures
will be required on the Assessment Form. You will also be allowed to make comments on the
Assessor’s decision. The Assessor will then share information on next steps. These next steps
include where to obtain the certificate related to the successful assessment or, if unsuccessful,
how to re-try for competency within a specified period of time.
This toolbox of Tools and Templates offers a wide range of assessment tools that will facilitate
evidence gathering and other assessment-related needs. Evidence gathering, however, should
not be limited to these tools and templates alone. The toolbox should be revised or expanded as
necessary, to include other tools and templates that are deemed relevant.
