On completion of this qualification learners are able to demonstrate and also apply the following generic competence and apply:
1. The ability to apply knowledge of chemistry and physics will be evaluated against standardised test procedures contained in various codes of practise.
2. Occupational health and safety issues and other related Legislative and regulative matters are applied according to
industry norm.
3. Aggregate materials are sampled and tested in accordance with industry norms and specifications.
Electives and assessment criteria for the different proposed fields of learning are as follows:
Bituminous Materials field of learning.
These outcomes are assessed when:
The materials to be sampled are identified and tested
The correct apparatus are identified and both the apparatus and materials to be tested are prepared
The test is executed under supervision and in compliance to specified test procedures
Test readings are taken and test results are recorded
Concrete Materials field of learning.
These outcomes are assessed when:
The materials to be sampled are identified and tested
The correct apparatus are identified and both the apparatus and materials to be tested are prepared
The test is executed under supervision and in compliance to specified test procedures
Test readings are taken and test results are recorded.
Soil and Gravel Materials field of learning.
These outcomes are assessed when:
The materials to be sampled are identified and tested
The correct apparatus are identified and both the apparatus and materials to be tested are prepared
The test is executed under supervision and in compliance to specified test procedures
Test readings are taken and test results are recorded
Integrated Assessment:
Formative assessments conducted during the learning process will consist of written tests, demonstrations and a number of self-assessments. The purpose of formative assessment is to diagnose learner strengths and weaknesses and to determine readiness for summative assessment.
Summative assessment would consist of written tests coupled with assignments, case studies and practical demonstrations. Summative assessments would only be conducted once the learner has indicated that he/she is ready to undergo summative assessment.
Before qualifying, the learners will be expected to demonstrate competence in a practical situation that integrates the assessment of all specific outcomes, for all unit standards.
Integrated assessment provides learners with an opportunity to display an ability to integrate practical performance, actions, concepts and theory across unit standards in order to achieve competence in relation to the purpose of this qualification.
In particular, assessors should check that the learner is able to demonstrate the ability to consider a range of options and make decisions about:
The quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge behind it.
The different methods that can be used by the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.
