2. Vocational or educational outcomes of the course

Standard 1 for Accredited Courses

The reaccredited preapprenticeship course will continue to provide young people with the opportunity to gain a strong skill and knowledge base related to their selected trade sector. Research during the reaccreditation process indicates that a preapprenticeship helps students decide if they are suited to a trade career. It teaches students skills and knowledge, and boosts students literacy, numeracy and general employability. The learning outcomes include:

communication skills for the construction industry

workplace safety and site induction

determining opportunities and pathways, and applying for work in the construction industry

identification of different building structures and components and sequencing of activities in the construction industry

application of mathematical calculations in the construction industry

safe erection, use and disassembly of restricted height scaffolding and working platforms

selection and application of levelling techniques

identification of quality principles in the construction industry

safe use and maintenance of general construction plant and selected portable power tools

identification of processes and activities in construction which improve environmental sustainability

interpretation and production of documents and plans used in the construction industry

recognising and responding to life threatening emergencies using basic life support measures

application of construction tools, plant, materials and techniques used in specific trade sectors.

Changes to the course were made in response to the skills and knowledge workshops one involving trade teachers and another involving industry, employers, Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (VCAA), union and teacher representatives. (Refer to Appendix 1: Skills and knowledge profile materials.) The changes are described in Section 3.2.

Potential participants

The course is expected to be undertaken by:

school leavers aiming to enter the bricklaying, carpentry, painting and decorating, wall and floor tiling, wall and ceiling lining, solid plastering and stonemasonry trades within the construction industry (new entrants)

a Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Victorian Education and Training (VET) VCE VET program which contributes to the VCE or Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) commonly undertaken in years 10, 11 or 12

early school leavers working in labouring roles looking for an apprenticeship or opportunity to up skill

career changers wanting to experience a trade within the building and construction industry.

3. Development of the course

3.1 Industry/ enterprise/

community needs

Standards 1 and 2 for Accredited Courses

Since the release of the Australian Workforce Futures

Strategy Paper 2010, the attention of state and federal governments has been focused on sustaining economic growth and raising productivity by increasing skills and avoiding skills shortages. Nevertheless the building and construction industry in Australia still identifies recruitment difficulties and skill shortages as major concerns across the building sector.

According to the latest National Skill Shortages

summary for 201112:

There was little change in the technicians and trades workers labour market and employers recruiting these workers generally experienced more difficulty than those seeking professionals, with 61% of vacancies filled and 1.7 suitable applicants per vacancy.

In 2010 the Federal Governments $660 million Skills for Sustainable Growth (www.deewr.gov.au) and investment in the VET sector has seen:

A record number of Australians (are) undertaking apprenticeships and training and estimates by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research in December 2010 show a strong increase in trades commencements.

Tertiary Education and Skills Minister, Chris Evans concedes that despite the overall unemployment rate of

5.2% (ABS, July 2012), the youth unemployment rate is much higher and lifting skill levels of our young people is a key challenge. (7.30 Report, ABC, broadcast 9/8/2012)

The Victorian State Government (July, 2012) announced reforms to the VET system in its report Refocusing Vocational Training in Victoria. This report states that the VET system will continue to support pathway programs including reaccredited training delivered through local providers and foundation skills courses that ensure Victorians have the necessary literacy and numeracy skills to participate in the workforce.

The Victorian Government in Building Trade Pathways

(July, 2011)

highlighted the potential reform to help individuals gain the necessary foundation skills in training by delivering preapprenticeship courses to early school leavers, and embedding trades learning into VCE and VCAL programs.

Key findings from the NCVER Preapprenticeship Training Activity Report (2011) support the continuation of the course. The report states:

Preapprenticeship training in Australia is an important and growing component of the Australian VET sector, with an estimated 64,800 course enrolments in 2009.

Enrolments in preapprenticeship courses are within two main fields of education engineering and related technologies, and architecture and building.

Preapprenticeship courses are providing good further study outcomes, with 43.5% of graduates going on to further study, compared with 32.1% of all VET graduates.

Preapprenticeship courses are providing an important pathway for disadvantaged students, such as Indigenous students, early school leavers and those without (non-school) qualifications gained outside schools.

While there has been significant investment to attract the right people into apprenticeships by both the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments, there are many hindrances, including the perception of apprenticeships being associated with lower educational achievement. Recent research shows 27% of early school leavers taking up an apprenticeship usually have lower achievements (Year 9) in reading and mathematics. (Building Trade Pathways, Skills Victoria, 2011)

The completion of a building and construction preapprenticeship in the senior secondary environment has many benefits, including:

being the preferred pathway of many construction sector employers when employing apprentices to complete Certificate III qualifications

improving retention and completion rates in secondary schools

increasing language, literacy and numeracy skills.

Industry support

The Victorian building and construction industry strongly supports the course. Stakeholders from the bricklaying, carpentry, painting and decorating, wall and ceiling lining, wall and floor tiling, solid plastering and stonemasonry industry sectors indicate that preapprentices are highly regarded as new employees because the preapprenticeship qualification provides the participants with a solid background of introductory industry skills and knowledge prior to them commencing work. Consultation was undertaken with representatives from the following groups to confirm the value of the preapprenticeship course:


(CFMEU)

Building Industry Consultative Council Industry

Advisory Body (BICCIAB)

Master Builders Association of Victoria (MBA)

Master Painters Association of Victoria (MPA)

Australian Brick and Blocklaying Training Foundation

Ltd (ABBTF)


Australian Tile Council Victorian Division

Teacher network groups for bricklaying, carpentry, painting and decorating.

During these consultations, employers in particular commented that preapprenticeships:

reduce the risk of non completion of an apprenticeship due to a mismatch or incompatibility to the apprentices selected trade

make new apprentices more productive, reduce training times and costs, and enhances their success during their Certificate III apprenticeship.

Since its initial accreditation, 21844VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling and Solid Plastering) Preapprenticeship has been extremely well received and enrolments have grown dramatically for both government funded and fee for service students.

3.2 Review for

re-accreditation

Standards 1 and 2 for Accredited Courses

This application is being made for a reaccreditation on behalf of the HESG.

The current qualification 21844VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling and Solid Plastering) Preapprenticeship is due to expire on

31 December 2012.

Revisions to the proposed course are based on formal and informal data collected from RTOs and industry experts and through input from the Steering Committee and industry stakeholders.

Enrolments

In July 2012, there were 34 registered training organisations (RTOs) with 21844VIC on scope of registration that were listed on either Training.gov.au or VRQA websites. Advice from Higher Education and Skills Group (HESG) suggests that 20 of these RTOs are the main providers of this training.

The program also experiences strong participation within the secondary school area. This is demonstrated by the data available from the VCAA.

According to Daryl Sutton, Manager, Vocational Education, Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) in 2011, there were 4913 enrolments in

21844VIC by students undertaking VCE or VCAL. These were distributed as follows:

3137 in government secondary schools

1128 in Catholic schools

482 in TAFE

166 in Independent schools.

Source: Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (VCAA) VET in Schools advice to the CMM for Building Industries, August 2012

There is potential to increase enrolments in the course if more private sector schools choose to offer the course.

The course also supports the Federal Governments social inclusion policy as it provides a pathway for disengaged early school leavers to enter the workforce via prevocational training. This pathway helps school leavers to develop skills and knowledge to assist them to gain a Certificate III apprenticeship.

During 2011, the CMM for Building Industries was approached by Holmesglen Institute of TAFE (the only provider of accredited training in stonemasonry) to add a stonemasonry stream to this course. A stonemasonry stream is included in this submission.

It is anticipated that participants who complete the

22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship will have the skills and knowledge necessary to gain an apprenticeship with an employer in the building and construction industry.

New course development

The Steering Committee members included stakeholder representatives from the CFMEU, MBA, MPA, CPSISC, ABBTF, Australian Tile Council Victorian Division and other relevant employer associations together with trade specific registered training organisations, employers and providers. Under the guidance of the Steering

Committee, the qualification has undergone an extensive

process of review, including:

the removal of the common sustainability module and redeveloping it as a customised sustainability module for each of the seven trade streams

replacement of VBQM699 Basic first aid with the unit of competency HLTFA211A Provide basic

emergency life support from the HLT07 Health

Training Package

clarifying that methods of assessment for collecting valid evidence meet the unique requirements of practical skills as well as knowledge

the addition of a new stonemasonry trade stream

standardising the terminology and style of learning outcomes and assessment criteria

removal of all non-essentials from the required skills and knowledge

ensuring that the critical aspects of assessment are now more specific and measurable.

CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry was added to 21844VIC in December 2009 to replace the state accredited VPAU349 Work safely in the construction industry. The new Steering Committee decided to retain CPCCOHS1001A as a core unit and this unit has become a prerequisite unit for all modules that have a practical outcome. Refer to Appendix 3: Steering Committee minutes which include the detailed changes made to the course.

Transition

21844VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling and Solid Plastering) Preapprenticeship has been extended until 30 June 2013 to allow for transition to the new course. There should be no new enrolments in 21844VIC after this date.

The new course is equivalent for each stream that exists in

21844VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling and Solid Plastering) Preapprenticeship. A new stonemasonry stream has been added in the new course and this stream has no equivalence.

A mapping is provided in Appendix 6 which shows the relationship between the units and modules in the new course and the existing course.

Volume of learning

The volume of learning is between 0.5 and 1 year and incorporates structured training delivery and unstructured learning activities undertaken by the learner, which may include:

private study

research projects

work experience

practical projects.

Currently, when the existing course is delivered as part of the VCE VET or VCAL, the course is delivered over one or two years. When the course is delivered by RTOs to non-VCE VET or VCAL students, the course is typically delivered between 16 and 20 weeks.

5.2 Entry requirements Standard 9 for Accredited Courses

There are no entry requirements for this course. The following is a general guide to entry in relation to the language, literacy and numeracy skills of learners aligned to the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), details

of which can be accessed from:

Learners enrolling in the course are best equipped to successfully undertake the qualification if they have minimum, reading, writing, oral communication and numeracy skills that align to Level 2 of the ACSF. Indicators of ACSF Level 2 could include:

ability to write brief systems related texts using an established format, eg an order form or an OHS incident report on a standard workplace form/

pro-forma

listening to short, explicit instructions for new work procedures and asks questions to clarify

familiar and simple length, volume/capacity measures

measure and estimate length, capacity/volume, and time, using simple instruments graduated in familiar units, eg cm, m, ml, or hours/min/sec

reading an email from the teacher/trainer about a change of class time.

Learners with language, literacy and numeracy skills at lower levels than those recommended will require additional support to successfully undertake the qualification.

6. Assessment Standard 10 for Accredited Courses

6.1 Assessment strategy All assessment will be consistent with Standard 1.2 of the Australian Quality Training Framework Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration.

Refer to the AQTF User Guides to the Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration www.training.com.au/documents/AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing Registration.pdf.

Imported units of competencies must be assessed according to the rules of the relevant Training Package. Assessment methods and collection of evidence will involve application of skills and knowledge related to the construction industry.

Assessment of skills in this module must be under full supervision in a simulated workplace or actual workplace. Assessment of skills must include practical demonstrations. Knowledge may be assessed in a simulated workplace, actual workplace or a classroom and may include:

oral or written questioning

written tests, including online

case studies

assignments

role plays.

Where the learning is conducted in simulated workplaces, the individual needs of the learner will be reflected in the assessment methods. Consistent with Standard 1, Element 5 of the Australian Quality Training Framework Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration, registered training organisations (RTOs) must ensure that recognition of prior learning (RPL) is offered to all applicants in determining competency for credit.

There is no mandatory workplace assessment, however, preapprenticeships delivered under the VCAA framework are advised that VCAA strongly recommends that students enrolled in this program undertake a minimum

10 days of SWL. This SWL should be spread across the duration of the training program.

6.2 Assessor competencies


The Australian Quality Training Framework Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration, Standard 1.4 states the requirements for the competence of persons assessing the course. See AQTF User Guides to the Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration

.

Assessors of the imported units of competency must meet the guidelines of the relevant Training Package.

The Steering Committee for the course strongly recommends that all trainers and assessors of this course hold:

a Certificate III trade qualification in the trade stream being taught or

a limited trade registration with the Building Practitioners Board of Victoria in the trade stream being taught

to deliver and assess any of the modules or units in the course.

If a person does not have the assessment competencies and vocational competencies described above, they may work under the supervision of a person who has the assessment competencies described above.

7. Delivery Standard 11 for Accredited Courses

7.1 Delivery modes The modules in this course should be delivered in the sequence dictated by the construction process. However, it is mandatory that the unit CPCCOHS1001A Work

safely in the construction industry be presented at the start of the preapprenticeship training.

Those delivering preapprenticeship training are reminded that OHS training is on going in the workplace. While safety has been addressed in the delivery of CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry, safety training is required throughout the

delivery of the subsequent modules in the course.

It is recommended that a combination of delivery modes be used in this course, such as:

teacher led lessons

practical demonstration

classroom theory

team-based assignments

applied learning in the workplace or simulated environment

online/flexible delivery methods.

The modules may be delivered as stand-alone programs or they may be integrated holistically with a number of other modules. The modules have been developed to support a variety of applications within the context of the suggested range of variables. This particularly involves the use of practical, industry-based activities and/or projects to develop skills and knowledge.

It is recommended that the practical exercises take the form of realistic, holistic projects to provide the participants with real work experience.

Appropriate projects may include:

live work

community projects

renovations

work on new homes

practical tasks within simulated work environments.

Although practical placement is not prescribed in the program structure, participants may utilise opportunities for practical work placement to absorb the workplace environment and the characteristics of employment in the industry to achieve module outcomes. However, before participants commence any practical work placement, they must:

have completed the unit CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry

be registered with WorkSafe

hold the Construction Induction (CI) card.

7.2 Resources Standard 12 for Accredited Courses

Trainers

Teachers/trainers are required to meet the Australian Quality Training Framework Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration Standard 1.4. See AQTF User guides to the Essential Conditions and Standards for Continuing (or Initial) Registration:

.

Owing to the potentially hazardous nature of some of the modules in the course, it is recommended that trainers and assessors undertake a safe work method statement (SWMS) for the practical activities they are required to train and assess, and to report and take action on any OHS concerns that are present.

Training resources

Delivery of the 22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship requires:

general/trade specific hand and portable power tools

specialised equipment for the trade stream being delivered

access to computers and Internet

access to workplace or simulated environments

access to appropriate equipment, materials and resources to support delivery and to undertake assessment

classroom facilities.

Teachers should refer to individual units and modules for specific tools and equipment requirements.

Note that appropriate materials, tools, equipment including OHS resources are required in each of the sector specific modules. The use of OHS resources and the safe use of tools and equipment are implicit in every module in the preapprenticeship and must be incorporated with the introduction of any new task or activity.

8. Pathways and articulation


No formal articulation and credit transfer arrangements have been negotiated with RTOs or other educational providers.

It is acknowledged that participants may partially complete 21844VIC with one training provider and receive a statement of attainment for the units and modules they have completed. These participants will be given training credit for those completed modules and units where they hold a statement of attainment should the participant choose to complete the remainder of the preapprenticeship.

The participants in the 22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship may be participating in a short-term

off-the-job learning program. Other identifiable learning

pathways may include embedding the preapprenticeship program in a VCE VET in Schools or VCAL programs of study, RPL and/or workplace learning.

Many participants who complete21884VIC go on to enrol in Certificate III in Building and Construction trade qualifications. It is anticipated that a participant who has successfully completed the 22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship will be suitably prepared to apply for an apprenticeship in the building and construction industry.

Participants may be eligible for training credit hours towards one or more of the following qualifications within the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services

Training Package or the equivalent qualification in new

Training Packages:

CPC30611 Certificate III in Painting and Decorating

CPC30111 Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying

CPC30211 Certificate III in Carpentry

CPC31311 Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling

CPC31211 Certificate III in Wall and Ceiling Lining

CPC31011 Certificate III in Solid Plastering

CPC32311 Certificate III in Stonemasonry

(Monumental/Installation).

A Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Guide is supplied in Appendix 9 which provides a mapping of the alignment between modules in the 22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship and the relevant CPC08 Certificate III units in the above qualifications.

RTOs are advised to refer to this RPL Guide to determine the level of recognition participants who present with modules in the new 22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship when enrolling in a Certificate III qualification from CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package.

Participants who satisfactorily complete any of the imported endorsed units of competency will qualify for credit transfer into other qualifications and accredited courses that include those particular units.

9. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation

Standard 13 for Accredited courses

The CMM for Building Industries is responsible for the on going monitoring and evaluation of the 22216VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling, Solid Plastering and Stonemasonry) Preapprenticeship. This may include:

the review and update of mapping between modules from the preapprenticeship course and units of competencies from the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

the review and the inclusion of additional trade streams as required to meet the needs of industry.

A mid-point accreditation review will be conducted that provides both quantitative and qualitative feedback to the CMM. Evaluations will involve consultation with:

course participants

building and construction industry representatives

RTO trainers and assessors.

The VRQA will be formally notified of any proposed changes to the course documentation. Examples of changes that will be reported to the VRQA include changes to:

the course structure by adding or deleting modules or units from the core or streams, whether to reflect local industry needs or to reflect changes to Training Packages

required prerequisites

the nominal duration of the course and of units copyright ownership

articulation and/or credit transfer arrangements

Appendix 8: Rationale for the use of modules

The current course is due to expire on 31 December 2012 and consideration was given to the use of a national Training Package qualification to replace the Victorian crown copyright curriculum from 2012. There are two certificate II qualifications in CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package but both of these have different outcomes to

21844VIC.

1. CPC20211 Certificate II in Construction Pathways provides a pathway into the trades but compared to 21844VIC, the packaging rules of CPC20211 do not allow the same outcomes as 21844VIC, in that:

the core units represent about half of those provided in 21844VIC

the elective units do not cover all the trades covered in 21844VIC

there is less depth in the choice of elective units offered in each trade.

2. CPC20111 Certificate II in Construction is designed to prepare builders labourers or trades assistants, and does not offer the trade stream specialisation that the 21844VIC offers.

The CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package qualifications are not considered appropriate by the Victorian construction industry for use as a preapprenticeship course. Some of the units in the Certificate II qualifications are also included in the packaging rules of Certificate III trade qualifications.

A student who completes these units at Certificate II level would be entitled to credit transfers when enrolling in CPC08 Certificate III qualifications. During discussions with the CMM for Building Industries, the CFMEU advised that industry stakeholders do not support industry standard units of competency being used to train and assess participants who do not have workplace experience. The CMM was also advised by Construction and Property Services Industry Skills Council (CPSISC) during 2011 that proposed future reviews of CPC08

Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package do not include a preapprenticeship qualification that will meet Victorias needs.

To ensure the continuity of preapprenticeship training in this state, approval was sought and provided by the VRQA to reaccredit the 21844VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction (Bricklaying, Carpentry, Painting and Decorating, Wall and Ceiling Lining, Wall and Floor Tiling and Solid Plastering) Preapprenticeship in modules. The VRQA again approved the reaccreditation of 21844VIC in 2012 in modules. The Steering Committee also supports the course remaining in modules. The CMM received funding from the state government to
