Introduction

Diploma in Installing Engineering Construction Plant and Systems (RQF)

ACQR-Engineering Construction Installing Plant and Systems RV 2-1

This qualification consists of 9 mandatory units per pathway. A candidate must successfully meet the selected discipline pathway requirements in each of the specified units in order to attain this qualification. This specification details the learning outcomes and assessment criteria that a candidate must meet in order to demonstrate the acquisition of the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) to be awarded a vocational ECITB Level 3 Diploma in Installation of Engineering Construction Plant and Systems (RQF) in either Pipefitting or Plating or Mechanical Fitting or Electrical Fitting. Mandatory observation of the candidate by an Awarding Organisation (AO) assessor is required to achieve this qualification. |

Achievement

1.4

There are no mandatory entry requirements. However, due to the level and complexity of the subject, it is recommended that candidates should have attained GCSE grade “C/5” or above or RQF Functional Skills Level 2 or above in English (Language) and Mathematics or are able to demonstrate evidence of other suitable attainment or experience. A candidate’s individual circumstances will determine if this qualification is appropriate and the Approved Centre will work with the prospective candidate and, where appropriate, employer to determine the candidates suitability for the qualification.

role effectively. Platers prepare steel and other metal plates and sections for the manufacture, installation, repair and maintenance of storage tanks, vessels and the other structures contained within oil and gas installations, power generating plants, chemical plants, refineries and food processing plants. Platers work on sheet materials having a thickness greater than 3mm, their work can also cover the production of the structural steelwork used in the construction of bridges, buildings and oil and gas installations. Platers must be able to read and interpret engineering drawings and are skilled in, the measuring, marking out, cutting, forming and joining of metal plate and structural steel of varying thickness and size. They may then be responsible for the assembly of manufactured items; this may include the use of lifting equipment before securing the manufactured items usually using tack welding or temporary mechanical fasteners. Platers use various methods to shape; plate, pipe and sections, these range from the more conventional methods involving traditional hand skills and tools associated with metal craft work to more complex methods which may necessitate the use of oxyfuel cutting equipment, plasma cutters, and hand controlled machines. Electrical fitters are responsible for the installation, inspection, testing, commissioning and diagnosis of faults in electrical plant and its associated cabling and equipment. These activities are typically undertaken on equipment such as electrical distribution systems, generators, electric motors, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. To achieve these functions the electrical fitter must be able to interpret technical specifications and drawings and, where necessary demonstrate the effective use of reasoning skills in the resolution of faults and problems. Whilst electrical fitters are required to use specialist tools and equipment they also routinely use traditional hand tools and test equipment during the execution of their duties. Electrical fitters undertake these tasks on sites such as petrochemical plants, upstream and downstream oil and gas installations, powers generating plants, chemical plants and food processing plants and other processing plants, which often necessitates them working in hazardous conditions.

equipment at the end of its working life. Pipefitters within the engineering construction industry are responsible for the fabrication, assembly, positioning, installation, and repair of piping systems. Engineering construction industry piping systems often carry water, steam, chemicals or fuel which may be used in cooling, heating, lubricating and other processes. The piping can vary in bore size and material type dependent upon the fluid it is designed to carry and the operating pressures and environments of these systems. The piping system design will also determine the method of jointing required and the pipefitter must ensure the integrity of the mechanical joints that are made. Methods of jointing can range from threaded, bolted and clamped solutions to, where required, the preparation of the pipe assembly to enable a more permanent welded joint. Loss of the containment through poor jointing may result in machinery and equipment failure, environmental damage or injury/loss of life. A pipefitter is often required to have additional training in other skills to carry out their

pneumatic actuators and associated systems. Mechanical fitters assume a through life responsibility for the machinery, systems and equipment within their charge, this includes initial assembly, installation and setting up, ongoing maintenance and testing and the eventual disassembly/decommissioning of the

Completing this qualification can lead to a range of further career options. Those who wish to stay in engineering construction can develop their skills further, or progress through supervision to senior positions such as Construction Manager. Individuals can progress through additional qualifications and apprenticeships or into supporting engineering functions such as technical leadership, procurement, quality assurance, project management or project controls.

A summary of the assessment is as follows: Knowledge is assessed through ECITB AO set online, invigilated tests. Skills and application of the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) associated with units IPS01 to IPS12 are assessed through observed skills assessments on plant and equipment of the candidate’s chosen discipline pathway either through: ‘Real work’ activities or ECITB AO set VQ skills assessment tests either:. On live plant in the workplace or under simulated conditions in a workplace. Or under simulated conditions in an AO approved testing or assessment centre. Employer desirable behaviours are assessed during the observed skills assessment or through additional evidence submitted as part of the candidate’s qualification portfolio. A final technical discussion following which an AO approved assessor determines whether the candidate has achieved all of the qualification’s learning outcomes. Prior to the final technical discussion, the AO approved assessor must be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence that the candidate has met the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for all the units within the selected pathway– typically at least 2 practical demonstrations of each skill in order to demonstrate the skills in a number of different contexts on a variety of structures, plant and equipment

and meet the final technical discussion. Independent assessors, assessment tools and procedures including simulation, online tests etc. are approved by and follow the assessment process of the ECITB, who are an Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (OFQUAL) recognised AO for this qualification. All assessment is carried out at a location approved by the AO. This may be in the candidate’s live workplace or a training or assessment centre approved by the AO for such purposes.

Assessment is a combination of online invigilated knowledge tests, observed skills assessment in ‘real work’ or under simulated workplace conditions, and a final technical discussion with the candidate. In order to achieve this vocational qualification the candidate must demonstrate that they have achieved ALL the learning outcomes specified in the pathway qualification units by demonstrating that they have met the assessment criteria and assessment guidance set out in this qualification document. The candidate must pass the knowledge tests, achieve all the observed skills assessment requirements

There are three routes for observed skills assessment to ensure all the learning outcomes and 1. Assessment in the actual workplace, with the candidate doing a number of different ‘real work’ activities or one or more large ‘job(s)’ on site assessed holistically. 2. ECITB’s AO set VQ skills assessment tests delivered and assessed in an ECITB AO approved, controlled, simulated technical testing environment (either in the workplace or a training or 3. Assessment of practical skills in a simulated work environment, where the environment is approved by the AO prior to the assessment. This may be via a number of different work based activities or one or more large ‘project(s)’ assessed holistically. The Approved Centre must submit a VQ006 Simulation application detailing the simulation specification. Please note, an AO representative may be required to attend an approval visit and/or initial simulation observation visit. NB. Once approved, the simulation may be used as required and will be routinely monitored

The candidate must be observed demonstrating all of the learning outcomes and associated assessment criteria to the satisfaction of the assessor (and subject to internal and external verification). The detail of what is assessed within the observed skills assessments is in the specific assessment guidance for each of the units. The observed skills assessment(s) can be holistic i.e. one or two assessment(s) may cover several or all the units within the qualification. Evidence must be cross referenced to the units so that it can be validated via internal and external verification. Assessors must directly observe the candidate demonstrating their skills and complete an assessment record for each skills assessment – these assessment records are compiled into the candidate’s qualification portfolio of evidence and made available to the candidate on request. No internal or external verification can be completed without these records. The assessor must ensure all outcomes are clearly mapped to the relevant assessment criteria to allow for effective verification. Direct observation of skills assessment by an assessor must take place at an AO approved location

The AO reserves the right for a member of its external quality assurance team to attend and observe any skills assessment.

Where the observed skills assessments are simulated, the simulated activity must be designed to reflect the activity as it would be carried out in a typical workplace environment, including: The presence, actions and capabilities of other interacting personnel. The urgency with which the activity must be carried out and the time needed to complete it. The number and sequence of actions needed to complete the activity.

The assessor is also required to complete a feedback summary report on its outcomes. The assessor feedback should signpost at what point in the recording/transcript each relevant assessment criteria is

The final stage in a candidate gaining this qualification is a technical discussion with the assessor. The technical discussion’s purpose is to review and expand upon the results and outcomes from the knowledge and skills testing and additional portfolio evidence and to identify and address any additional evidence needed from the candidate for the assessor to be able to confirm their technical competence in accordance with the requirements set out in this document. The assessor is to evaluate the candidate’s portfolio of evidence in advance of undertaking this discussion in order to identify the need for any additional evidence. The technical discussion also provides the candidate with the opportunity to explain their rationale for their decisions and to explain how they reached conclusions during the observed skills assessments. The technical discussion is complete once the AO assessor has the additional evidence that the candidate has gained all the learning outcomes of the qualification in order to approve the awarding, or otherwise, of this regulated
