INTRODUCTION
The Skills for Employment Investment Program (SEIP) Project of the Finance Division of the
Ministry of Finance has embarked on a project which aims to qualitatively and quantitatively
expand the skilling capacity of identified public and private training providers by establishing and
operationalizing a responsive skill eco system and delivery mechanism through a combination
of well-defined set of funding triggers and targeted capacity support.
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:
A Competency Standard is a written specification of the knowledge, skills and attitudes

required for the performance of a job or occupation or trade corresponding to the standard of
performance required in the workplace.
Competency standard:
 Provides a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognizing and
assessing people’s skills, and may have optional support materials.
 enables industry recognized qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment
of workplace competencies
 encourages the development and delivery of flexible training which suits individual
and industry requirements
 Encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment, which leads to
verifiable workplace outcomes.
A working group who comprised national and international process experts develops
competency Standards 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.

With Competency Standards, training and assessment may be conducted at the
workplace at training organization or any combination of these.
A Unit of Competency describes a distinct work activity that would normally be

undertaken by one person in accordance with industry standards.
Units of Competency are documented in a standard format that comprises:

 Reference to Industry Sector, Occupational Title and Occupational Description
 Unit code
 Unit title
 Unit descriptor
 Unit of Competency
 Elements and performance criteria
 Variables and range statement
 Evidence guides
Together all the parts of a Unit of Competency:

 Describe a work activity
 Guide the assessor in determining whether the candidate is competent.
Identification and validation of units of competency and elements for each occupation
were made by experts of various light engineering companies through an industry consultative
workshop held at the Bangladesh Engineering Industry Owners Association (BEIOA) on 28th of
February 2016.
Profile of experts and facilitators who participated in the Competency Verification and
Validation Workshop are given below:

Assessment Guide
Section One: Objectives linked to Key Terms & Definitions
Define assessment.
Assessment is a systematic process of collecting proof or evidence on whether or not a

candidate has demonstrated competence in the performance of a work-related activity/task that
is directly linked to a performance standard. The assessment confirms that the individual can
perform to the standard expected in the workplace and/or the nationally approved competency
standard.
Give an example of 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.
What is the purpose of assessment?
The Purpose of Assessment is to confirm that a trainee can perform competently to the
standards expected in the workplace.
What is Assessment based on?
 An effective Assessment is based on a Competency Standard.

 A Competency Standard describes the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to
perform effectively in the workplace, not the classroom.
Define the term “competency.”

Competency is the ability to do a task successfully. Aspects of competency include:
 The capacity to perform tasks to the required standard consistently

 The ability to respond to different needs in the workplace
 The ability to plan and integrate a variety of tasks to attain a work outcome
Describe what makes up a competency standard.
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.
Define the term “Assessment tool.”
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.
Describe the difference between Conventional Testing & Competency

Based Assessment.
Conventional Testing CBT Assessment
 Emphasis on knowledge/memorization  Based on competency standards

 Teachers/Training Providers have main role  Involve industry partners in crucial role
 Theory & practical Tests can become  Assessment based on demonstration of
outdated work skills rather than classroom
 High cost & central control knowledge
 Relatively inflexible  Flexible delivery
 Competencies widely recognized
 Guidelines & Templates used

Describe briefly what makes up an assessment system.
An Assessment System must be understood as a well-coordinated set of documented policies

and procedures, including assessment materials and tools, that ensure assessments are
consistently valid, reliable, flexible, fair, and safe.
Define the purpose of the Assessor role.
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.
Planning an Assessment: What Needs to Happen?
 Determine which Units of Competency need to be assessed?

 Determine what Assessment Methods will be used?
 Determine what evidence-based tools (specs) need to be developed by the Assessor
to guide the assessment?
 Determine how long it will take?
 Determine when the assessment will occur?
 Determine where the assessment will take place?
 Determine how it will be recorded?
Give some Assessor Requirements/Competencies.

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 Assessor is selected/appointed by Industry to act as an Assessor because of his

proven competencies.
 Knows what needs to be done to assess the performance criteria
 Demonstrates a high level of expertise in the technical area to be examined
 Can provide constructive feedback
Define the challenges of the Assessor Role.
Assessor Role: Challenges
 Needs to be objective and unbiased

 Must have interpersonal skills to relax nervous candidates or deal with those who are
aggressive or emotional
 Must have ability to deal with those who have literacy problems or difficult dialect
Review some basic need-to-know elements concerning assessment.
Assessment Basics: Need to Know Elements
 Assessment to be conducted by Industry Assessor selected by industry

 Industry assessor must be familiar with units of competency outlined in the course
standards
 Industry Assessor should drafts specs that reflect industry requirements for trainees and
that are based on critical aspects of competency
 Industry assessor is responsible for making final judgment of competent or not yet
competent
 Trainer will assist industry assessor

 Trainees must demonstrate competence based on the units of competency outlined in
the standards
 All resources related to units of competency must be made available prior to the
assessment event, e.g., tools, equipment, materials
Describe the trainer’s role in the assessment process.
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
Discuss the importance of principles of assessment and what is involved.
Principles of Assessment Table
Key Principles Relevance/Meaning
Valid Ensures assessment aligned with the Unit of Competency and

is based on evidence that shows the learner can demonstrate
skills and knowledge in other similar contexts (workplace)
Reliable Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted

regardless of the Assessor
Flexible Assesses competencies held by the learner regardless of

where they have been acquired; reflects the individual learner’s
needs
Fair The individual learner’s needs or disability is considered in the

assessment process; the learner is provided with information
about the assessment process and given the opportunity to
challenge the result of the assessment if warranted
Safe The assessor has inspected the venue for assessment and
determined that it is safe for all involved and that emergency
evacuations are in place if needed

Define the term “evidence.”
Evidence is information that is gathered and matched against a Unit of Competency to provide
proof of competency.
State the different forms of evidence that can be collected.
Different forms of evidence that can be collected are-
 Direct such as demonstration test, or observation of Candidate

 Indirect such as Candidate’s self-assessment or third party reports such as an employer
interview
Describe and outline what is involved in “rules of evidence” and why they
are important.
Rules of Evidence Table
Rules of Evidence Meaning
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
Authentic The assessor is assured that the evidence provided for

assessment is the learner’s own work
Current The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence

demonstrates current competency of the learner. This evidence
must be from the present or very recent past.
Describe the purpose of evidence gathering tools.
The Purpose of evidence gathering tools are-
 To help candidates understand what is expected of them

 To provide a focus for the assessment
 To identify what is needed to verify competency
State the use of the evidence guide.
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.
State why assessment evidence is important.
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:
 Observation: watching the trainee perform

 Questioning: asking the trainee questions
 Demonstration of specific skills: seeing how the trainee performs a procedure or
creates a final product
 Examining previous work the trainee has done
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.

Outline a 6-step method for preparing an evidence plan.
Steps in Preparing an Evidence Plan (Sequence of Steps to Follow)-
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:
1. Select Unit of Competency for assessment

2. Read full Unit of Competency
3. Identify evidence requirements based on:
a. Elements and Performance Criteria
b. Dimensions of Competence
c. Underpinning skills knowledge
d. Critical aspects of competency
4. Develop a list of evidence requirements
5. Identify best ways of collecting evidence (tools)
6. Document evidence plan
Outline the steps (sequence of activities) involved in developing an
assessment tool.
Following are the steps (sequence of activities) involved in developing an assessment tool:

1. Select the Unit of Competency
2. Read the Unit of Competency
3. Identify the required evidence: critical aspects of competency
4. Identify the evidence gathering method
5. Complete the evidence plan
6. Select the appropriate template
7. Complete the template
8. Check the evidence gathering tools against the evidence plan and Unit of Competency
9. Check the tool with another Assessor for his opinion
Describe the four dimensions of competency.
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

Assessment Guidelines
Section Two: Roles and Responsibilities
The Assessment System: Planning Guide for the Assessor
An Assessment System must be understood as a well-coordinated set of documented policies

and procedures, including assessment materials and tools, that ensure assessments are
consistently valid, reliable, flexible, fair, and safe.
Competency Assessment is a systematic process of collecting proof or evidence on whether or

not a candidate has demonstrated competence in the performance of a work-related
activity/task that is directly linked to a performance standard. The assessment confirms that the
individual can perform to the standard expected in the workplace and/or the nationally approved
competency standard.
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:
 Unit Title
 Unit Descriptor
 Elements of Competency
 Performance Criteria
 Range of Variables
 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:
 Demonstration Checklist
 Oral Questions Checklist

The duties of the Assessor include:
 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.
Roles and Responsibilities of Assessor
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.
3. The duration of time to assess the demonstration is clearly indicated, for

example, 3 hours. This information is shared with the Candidate along with other pertinent
information such as the sequence of tasks that he must follow, and the fact that he will be
closely observed as the tasks are performed.

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.
Roles and Responsibilities of Trainer
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
Your duties include:
 notifying the Assessor and candidates of planned assessment events and their location

Roles and Responsibilities of Candidate
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
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.
6. The responsibility on finally deciding whether or not you are Competent or Not Yet
Competent belongs to the accredited Assessor.

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.

Section Three: Tools and Templates
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.

General Guidelines for Effective Questioning
 Keep questions short and focused on one key concept

 Ensure that questions are structured
 Test the questions to check that they are not ambiguous
 Use `open-ended questions such as `what if...?’ and `why...?’ questions, rather than
closed questions
 Keep questions clear and straight forward and ask one at a time
 Use words that the candidate is able to understand
 Look at the candidate when asking questions
 Check to ensure that the candidate fully understands the questions
 Ask the candidate to clarify or re-phrase their answer if the assessor does not
understand the initial response
 Confirm the candidate’s response by repeating the answer back in his/her own words
 Encourage a conversational approach with the candidate when appropriate, to put him
or her at ease
 Use questions or statements as prompts for keeping focused on the purpose of the
questions and the kind of evidence being collected
 Use language at a suitable level for the candidate
 Listen carefully to the answers for opportunities to find unexpected evidence
 Follow up responses with further questions, if useful, to draw out more evidence or to
make links between knowledge areas
 Compile a list of acceptable responses to ensure reliability of assessments

Recording responses
When using oral questioning, you may need a tool that has a structured approach (see below)
and also enables you to record a candidate’s responses. If the candidate’s response is
insufficient the assessor should record why on the recording sheet or checklist. This provides
information that can be used later, if necessary, to explain to the candidate where he or she
needs to develop their skills and/or knowledge to achieve the required competence.
