Section 1 – Scheme information
1.1 Scope of the awards
NVQs for the Electrotechnical Sector are work-based qualifications designed to reflect the
roles and responsibilities of ‘occupation operatives’ within the sector.
The Level 3 NVQ awards are based on a mandatory unit structure for the different
occupational areas which facilitates opportunities for enhancement and transfer of
competence from one electrotechnical occupation to another. The mandatory units cover
those areas which have a common approach, such as safety and team working. The
occupational units offer a choice that can be combined to meet the needs of organisations and
candidates.
The full National Occupational Standards and key skills mapping are included in this
documentation. Centres should print whichever units are required by their candidates.
There are no restrictions on entry to this award, however, candidates should not register for
this award if they hold or are registered with City & Guilds or another awarding body for a
similar award at the same level.
The qualification structure requires candidates to complete mandatory units specific to each
certificate.

Section 2 – Assessment requirements
Assessment Guidance for Level 3 Electrotechnical NVQs:
• Electrotechnical Services (Installation – Buildings & Structures; Installing
Instrumentation & Associated Equipment; Electrical Maintenance; Installing Highway
Electrical Systems & Associated Equipment)
• Electrotechnical Panel Building
• Electrical Machine Rewind & Repair
Assessment must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Sector
Skills Council for Building Services Engineering SummitSkills. The information which
follows is developed from the ‘Assessment Strategy for Electrotechnical N/SVQs as
amended June 2004.
2.1 Introduction
SummitSkills as the Sector Skills Council for Building Services Engineering has developed an
assessment strategy for the electrotechnical industry so that the requirements for the
assessment of competence can be directly related to the national occupational standards
which make up the above NVQs.
The information below is intended to provide approved users of the NVQs with a consistent
and standard approach to assessment. This includes the component parts of the assessment,
recording systems and quality assurance. It also takes account of the differing backgrounds
and experiences of those working in the sector and how this assessment strategy is to be
applied. The SSC recognised that the level and amount of assessment required can vary
according to the occupational role and experience of the candidate. In order to assist centres
with the application of this three assessment categories have been identified
New Entrant
Practising Operative
Occupational Enhancement
Further details in respect of the assessment requirements for each are contained in the
Appendix to this section.
The assessment strategy sets out external quality control through the use of Practical
Performance Assessment (PPA), assessment within the workplace, requirements for
assessors and verifiers and guidance on implementation. In order to obtain an NVQ a
candidate must satisfy the components parts of the assessment.
The components of the Electrotechnical assessment are:
3 Evidence from the workplace that demonstrates the candidate’s competence in the
non safety-critical aspects of the national occupational standards.
9
Practical Performance Assessment (PPA) and assessment of ‘Applied Knowledge’ will be
carried out in an independent assessment structure, which will provide the conditions for these
activities to take place. These activities will relate to the key safety-critical aspects of the
relevant national occupational standards.
SummitSkills has set criteria for the conditions for an independent assessment
structure which must be approved by SummitSkils. Information on this can be
obtained from SummitSkills
For all units performance must be assessed using evidence sourced from the workplace. The
quality of evidence collected for those non safety-critical aspects must be sufficient, current
and valid. Evidence from the workplace, including direct observation will demonstrate
competence against the standards. Guidance for this is provided through Evidence Profiles
(see below) which are available for each unit and which detail the scope and source. For the
non safety critical units it will be necessary to provide evidence over three occasions. Key
safety critical units require two such occasions and success in the PPA.
Evidence and assessment planning must also demonstrate a candidate’s maturity in terms of
competence and experience relevant to the level of national occupational standard being
assessed, particularly for the key safety-critical aspects of the national occupational standards
The totality of evidence will consist of evidence sourced from the workplace, plus
evidence from an independent assessment structure for the key safety-critical aspects
of the national occupational standards (PPA) and underpinning knowledge.
10
of simulated conditions. This aspect of the assessment strategy is controlled and monitored by
SummitSkills. All details of the specification and approval criteria must be obtained from
SummitSkills.
The independent assessment structure will provide facilities for activities using tools and
equipment which model those found in the real workplace. The structure will also facilitate
assessment of the candidates’ ability to apply knowledge to the practical work (‘Applied
Knowledge’) that they are being asked to do. This will most likely be by approved forms of
questioning. Therefore, the independent assessor will be assessing both the candidate's skill
and knowledge.
The assessment undertaken through the PPA is an additional measure of the assessment
within the units. Evidence of closely supervised experience of the candidate’s involvement
with the identified key safety-critical aspects and technically–critical aspects of the
National Occupational Standards in the workplace must pre-support their assessment in the
PPA.
As with all NVQs competent performance must be demonstrated consistently and supported
by evidence from a variety of sources. To provide an audit trail to support this each unit has an
Evidence Profile. Each profile sets out the performance objectives which must be met, the
source of the evidence taken from the ‘Key Words and Phrases’ and the scope of the
evidence, i.e. how many wiring systems.
All performance objectives identified in the Evidence Profile for each unit must be assessed.
The ‘Scope of Evidence’ defines the minimum number of items from the ‘Source of Evidence’.
Subject to the performance evidence being assessed, typically in the form of observation,
witness testimony, or products of work as detailed in the Assessment columns of the Evidence
Profile it is recommended that three pieces of evidence should be provided. The Evidence
Profile provides for this with three columns, assessment 3 will be evidence sourced from the
workplace or for the safety critical features by Practical Performance Assessment (PPA), as
indicated in the Evidence Profile.
Where performance evidence is not available for the Sources not identified within the ‘Scope‘,
alternative evidence must be provided which shows that the whole of the range has been
assessed. This should be in the form of candidate reports, or written log supported by oral or
written questioning.
The amount and level of the evidence will depend on the particular assessment category so it
is important to relate this with the additional information provided in the Annex to this section.
In addition, SummitSkills requires that job knowledge is assessed using an externally set of
guided written assignments or assessments used to ensure objectively marked results and
which must reflect the job knowledge requirements of the occupational standards being
11
assessed. These assignments or assessments could relate to vocationally related
qualifications, in part or whole, approved by SummitSkills.
3 Evidence from the workplace that demonstrates the candidate’s competence in the
non safety-critical aspects of the national occupational standards.

2.6 Assessor and verifier requirements
All assessors and verifiers should be able to show that they possess formal recognition of
achievement of the appropriate assessment and verification units of competence, the A and V
units (or the previous D units), or show that they are working towards achieving these units of
competence. In addition, Summitskills also requires that assessors and verifiers have
13
occupational experience, as explained below, regardless of which Electrotechnical NVQ/SVQ
they are assessing or verifying.
Additionally SummitSkills recommends assessors and verifier also have the following:
It is the responsibility of assessment centres to ensure that all assessors are using currently
accredited national occupational standards
All candidates being assessed should understand the national occupational standards to
which they are being assessed in terms of the relationship with the qualification, relevant
grading structures, technical competence and job roles/responsibilities
Where assessors or verifiers believe that the national occupational standards could be
reviewed to make them easier to understand or easier to assist in the assessment process,
they have a responsibility to contact SummitSkills and suggest the change in wording.
There are no entry qualifications or age limits required for these awards unless this is a legal
requirement of the process of the environment.
Assessment is open to any candidate who has the potential to reach the standards laid down
for this qualification.
Aids or appliances which are designed to alleviate disability may be used during assessment
providing they do not compromise the standard required.
14
Appendix 1 Level 3 National Occupational Standards
assessment routes
The component parts of the assessment strategy must be applied to each assessment
route accordingly.
A New Entrant is a NVQ/SVQ candidate who has undertaken or is undertaking a learning and
assessment programme with no experience in the Electrotechnical Industry. Therefore
evidence of their competence against the relevant National Occupational Standards (NOS)
must be demonstrated using the listed assessment instruments:
1. Evidence sourced from the workplace, including direct observation as relevant, that
demonstrates the candidate’s competence in non safety–critical, key safety-critical and
technically-critically aspects of the relevant NOS
3. The assessment of job knowledge using SummitSkills approved externally set guided
written assessments and assignments which are objectively marked.
Practising Operatives are individuals who are working in the industry, and although competent
have no formal recognition of their occupational competence. Evidence of their competence
against the relevant National Occupational Standards can be demonstrated using, as
appropriate, the listed assessment instruments and/or formal evidence of skill/knowledge:
1 Evidence sourced from the workplace, including direct observation as relevant, that
demonstrates the candidate’s competence in non safety-critical, key safety-critical and
as appropriate, technically-critically aspects of the relevant NOS.
.
3 Evidence of qualifications, which reflect the job knowledge requirements of the relevant
NOS and/or the assessment of job knowledge. This should include examples of
relevant qualifications such as the IEE Wiring Regulations.
This assessment route is for individuals who have been in an occupational role such as
electrotechnical operatives on oil rigs or in the armed forces and are seeking to obtain an
electrotechnical NVQ as their occupational role could not provide the opportunities to acquire
15
sufficiency and quality of evidence for all the key safety-critical and technically-critical
aspects of the relevant NOS. In these circumstances enhanced assessment must be
undertaken to demonstrate their competency meets the requirements of the relevant NOS:
1 Evidence sourced from the workplace, including direct observation as relevant, that
demonstrates the candidate’s competence in non safety–critical, key safety-critical and
technically-critical aspects of the relevant NOS.
16
Appendix 2 Assessor Guidance
This part of the guide has been introduced to enable assessors to have a clear indication of
the evidence requirements of the Level 3 NVQ awards. The first section of the guide includes
materials that were first produced as part of the awarding body guidance when the award was
first accredited with QCA. Since this time the Sector Skills Council (SSC) SummitSkills has
revised the assessment strategy that defines three specific routes for the assessment of
skilled operatives. These routes are the new entrants (someone who has never worked in the
industry before, as an example an apprentice), the practising operative (for example those
working in the industry today but who do not have current recognition of their skills) and
occupational enhancement (as example some one leaving the military). The guide explains in
detail the assessment requirements for each of these routes.
In producing this guide the awarding body has taken into account the advantages offered by
digital assessment techniques, such as digital cameras, digital recorders, PDAs and digital
pens along with traditional paper assessment. In doing so it has also provided guidance on
how holistic assessment methods can reduce assessment requirements in portfolio
production. In addition guidance is produced that confirms that assessment planning is a
mandatory requirement for all awards and completed by all assessors. Evidence of which
must be produced for both IV and EV procedures.
Initial assessment
It is good practice for all candidates to receive an initial assessment at the very start of their
NVQ. The results of the initial assessment can be used to identify the correct point at which a
candidate starts the assessment. Subsequently, the results of initial assessments should also
be used to inform the overall training and assessment plan for each individual candidate.
Assessment Planning
Following initial assessment the candidate should be provided with an individual assessment
plan. Every NVQ portfolio should reflect the individual candidate’s 'unique' opportunities to
collect and present appropriate evidence. This varied and individual package of evidence is
what the assessor can then use to form the basis of an assessment decision. An assessment
centre should show how it currently demonstrates that candidates receive an initial
assessment prior to starting the qualification.
The information below relates to the three routes, it offers tabular assessment guidance for
each unit detailing both keywords and performance objectives. These were previously
provided with the introduction to the Level 3 qualification along with copies of the NOS. The
evidence exemplar for the one of the units, is provided, this details the type of evidence that
could be provided and how they relate to both keywords and performance. Guidance in terms
of knowledge evidence is also detailed within this introduction.
17
Evidence Requirements
The New Entrant
For the purposes of this guidance it should be noted that new entrants to the industry are not
just young apprentices they may also include adults who are new to the industry and therefore
subject to the same assessment requirements, as they are both new to the electro-technical
industry and have no previous experience to offer as evidence.
The evidence requirements for the new entrant will be derived primarily from the use of
observation and evidence sourced from the work place. Questioning of candidates completed
by assessors will support the evidence gained from workplace. When carrying out direct
observation in the workplace the assessors should document the visits by the use of
photographic evidence from the workplace. In order to demonstrate consistent competent
performance a minimum of three different evidence examples will be required. The awarding
body has made recommendations that the observation should be used to ensure that
candidates are ready and capable of assessment under the controlled conditions of the PPA
test.
The knowledge assessment requirements of the new entrant will be satisfied by using
approved externally set guided written assessment such as the 2330 certificate in electro
technical technology, as well as pertinent supplementary questioning of evidence sourced
from the workplace.
With reference to job knowledge, the candidate would be expected to provide evidence of
qualifications which reflect the requirements of the job knowledge of the qualification and in
addition satisfy the assessor of their current understanding of technology and working
practice, this may require the assessor to carry out supplementary questioning.
Assessment principles
This section is intended to set out how the various forms of evidence should be used within
the assessment of the level 3 NVQ (2356). A format has been produced which sets out these
principles and provides an audit trial for candidates, assessors and verifiers. An evidence
profile has been produced for each unit. An example of this grid is noted for unit 302 for each
route.
18
Performance objectives
All performance objectives must be achieved. The grid defines the amount of evidence and
scope of evidence required. This would include evidence sourced by the use of observation,
questioning and the use of product evidence accordingly.
Performance evidence
The scope and source of evidence of performance are indicated in the grid of the award,
defined by the tables following this introduction, they are defined by the scope of the unit in
terms of how many of a particular unit are required.
Knowledge evidence
Knowledge evidence will be provided by the primary use of current and past certification of
relevant awards.
Observation
It is recommended that when observing candidates in the workplace the holistic assessment
process should be used, gathering evidence for several units as appropriate will link relevant
units together. When completing assessment in the workplace the assessor should also use
photographic evidence of the candidate completing the observed work. At the same time
assessment should also include questioning of the candidate which may include
supplementary job knowledge. For the avoidance of doubt, observation on site means on
observation of competent performance, not attendance to observe a candidate working badly.
For new entrants and those following the enhancement route there would be a single
observation in the workplace completed prior to the PPA test. Observation of practising
operatives may be used to verify performance evidence provided by the candidate.
Product evidence
Product evidence such as drawings, distribution board charts, specifications, evidence may be
used to confirm the assessment requirement within the performance requirements of the
awards.
Witness testimony
The use of witness testimony is a valid form of assessment within the level 3 awards. The
assessment system used shall provide a method of checking who the witness is for the
candidate. It shall be possible for the assessor to contact the witness to confirm the work and
competence of the candidate.
PPA
Success in the PPA test is a mandatory requirement for the award of the NVQ. However there
can be exemption for practicing operatives subject to the assessor confirming the candidates
meet the criteria under that route.

38
UNIT 304 (NET Unit 81): Maintain a healthy and safe working environment
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the body appointed to support and enforce health
and safety law. They have defined two important concepts as follows:
Working conditions: This refers, to the working conditions which exist at that
point in time when the work is due to take place, but which
could vary. It could be, for example, that the work is to
take place outside, in which case you may need to take
account of the weather conditions. Or, perhaps other (non-
electrical) contractors come onto the site to start their work
- their subsequent activities may cause the site to become
hazardous.
Working environment: This refers to different types of the worksite where the
installation is to take place. These include: agricultural,
industrial, commercial sites, or confined spaces or working
near other machinery. The working environment is
something you would not be able to change.
Employers must safeguard so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and
welfare at work of all the people who work for them and ‘other persons’. This applies in
particular to the provision and maintenance of safe plant and systems of work, and
covers all machinery, equipment and substances used.
Employees also have a duty under the Act to take reasonable care to avoid harm to
themselves or to others by their working practices, and to co-operate with employers
and others in meeting statutory requirements. The Act also requires employees not to
interfere with or misuse anything provided to protect their health, safety or welfare in
compliance with the Act.
39
UNIT 304 (NET Unit 81): Maintain a healthy and safe working environment
There is an array of health and safety regulations and codes of practice which affect people at
work. There are regulations for those who, for example, work with electricity, or work on
construction projects, as well as regulations covering noise at work, manual handling, working
with VDUs, or dealing with substances hazardous to health, etc. The specific requirements for
all or any of these can be obtained from HSE local offices.
The phrase ‘the legal responsibilities for health and safety as defined by any specific
legislation covering your job role’ is intended to relate to those specific pieces of legislation
important to your workplace and/or activities which you should be able to find out about.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is the main piece of legislation under which nearly all
the other regulations are made. It is for this reason that only this piece of legislation is
specifically referred to in this Unit.
40
UNIT 304 (NET Unit 81): Maintain a healthy and safe working environment
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:

It is important to note the following that according to the Health and Safety at Work
Act:
Employers must safeguard so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and
welfare at work of all the people who work for them and ‘other persons’. This applies in
particular to the provision and maintenance of safe plant and systems of work, and
covers all machinery, equipment and substances used.
People at work also have a duty under the Act to take reasonable care to avoid harm
to themselves or to others by their working practices, and to co-operate with employers
and others in meeting statutory requirements. The Act also requires employees not to
interfere with or misuse anything provided to protect their health, safety or welfare in
compliance with the Act.
is about having an appreciation of hazards which may cause serious harm in the
workplace and knowing how to deal with them. It describes the competences required
to ensure that:
- your own actions do not create any health and safety risks,
- you do not ignore hazards with significant risk in your workplace, and
- you take sensible action to put things right, including: reporting situations which
pose a danger to people in the workplace and seeking advice
that you understand the health and safety requirements in the workplace, and that you
check your own work activities and work area for any hazards which may harm you or

UNIT 325 (NET Unit 81a): Maintain a healthy and safe working environment when
building panels
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the body appointed to support and enforce health
and safety law. They have defined two important concepts as follows:
Almost anything may be a hazard, but may or may not become a risk. For example:
2. Toxic or flammable chemicals stored in a building are a hazard, and by their nature may
present a high risk. However, if they are kept in a properly designed secure store, and handled
by properly trained and equipped people, the risk is much less than if they are left about in a
busy workshop for anyone to use - or misuse.
3. A failed light bulb is a hazard. If it is just one bulb out of many in a room it presents very little
risk, but if it is the only light on a stairwell, it is a very high risk. Changing the bulb may be a
high risk, if it high up, or if the power has been left on, or low risk if it is in a table lamp which
has been unplugged.
4. A box of heavy material is a hazard. It presents a higher risk to someone who lifts it manually
than if a mechanical handling device is properly used.
Working conditions: In this unit this refers to the working conditions which exist
at that point in time when the panel building takes place.
One example may be the physical dimensions of the panel
being built may affect working practices.
Working environment: In this unit this refers to the work area where the panel
building is to take place and this may be affected by other
associated or allied trades, for example, paint spraying,
sheet metal work, etc.
