5 1 Introduction to Industry Curriculum Frameworks Industry curriculum frameworks have been developed to provide students with the opportunity to gain credit towards the NSW Higher School Certificate and credit towards national vocational qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework. The Construction Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus incorporates all HSC Vocational Education and Training (VET) Construction courses that hold industry and Board of Studies endorsement for the Higher School Certificate. Specifically, this includes: courses delivered by schools, such as the Building and Construction Content Endorsed Course, including the bricklaying and paving modules the range of TAFE delivered HSC VET courses including general construction, bricklaying, shopfitting, tiling and plastering delivery by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) on behalf of schools or TAFE colleges. The Construction Curriculum Framework will provide a single mechanism that will align these courses to units of competency in the Civil Construction and General Construction Training Packages for the purposes of the Higher School Certificate. The Construction Curriculum Framework will define how units of competency are arranged into VET courses for the purpose of gaining unit credit for the Higher School Certificate. Wherever possible these VET courses will align to national vocational qualifications. 2 Documentation for Industry Curriculum Frameworks The documentation for industry curriculum frameworks has been provided to assist teachers and trainers to develop teaching and assessment programs and to help in the management of the competency achievement of HSC candidates. The purpose of Part A of the Construction Curriculum Framework is to identify arrangements of units of competency that will enable students to achieve unit credit towards the Higher School Certificate and credit towards a vocational qualification. It contains general advice about this industry curriculum framework and describes course structures and requirements, including work placement. This document should be referred to in the first instance when planning the implementation of VET courses for the Higher School Certificate. The documentation associated with the Construction Curriculum Framework is illustrated below: Syllabus Part A Course Structure and Requirements Syllabus Part B Units of Competency and HSC Requirements Competency Record Book Support Document 5

6 3 The Higher School Certificate Program of Study The purpose of the Higher School Certificate program of study is to: provide a curriculum structure which encourages students to complete secondary education; foster the intellectual, social and moral development of students, in particular developing their: knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes in the fields of study they choose capacity to manage their own learning desire to continue learning in formal or informal settings after school capacity to work with others respect for the cultural diversity of Australian society; provide a flexible structure within which students can prepare for: further education and training employment full and active participation as citizens; provide formal assessment and certification of students achievements; provide a context within which schools also have the opportunity to foster students physical and spiritual development. 6

7 4 Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the NSW Higher School Certificate 4.1 The National Training Framework All accredited Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs, including those for HSC students, must meet the requirements of the National Training Framework (NTF). The key components of the National Training Framework are: The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Under the AQF, VET qualifications in each industry area are standard across Australia. To facilitate this, the award of a particular AQF Diploma, Certificate or Statement of Attainment depends on the person who seeks a qualification meeting specified industry competency standards. Competency standards have been developed by representative industry groups to reflect the requirements for employment and effective work performance in the relevant industry and are expressed in National Industry Training Packages. National Training Packages All training packages contain three mandatory or endorsed components: units of competency, which express the industry competency standards and include elements of competency, performance criteria, a range of variables and an evidence guide assessment guidelines, which set out conditions for establishing that competency has been met qualifications, which explain the qualifications and relationships between them. Training packages may also contain a range of materials designed to assist with training and assessment. These are not mandatory and are known as nonendorsed components. The Australian Recognition Framework (ARF) Because training packages and AQF qualifications are standardised across Australia, they are also recognised in all parts of Australia. This is assured by the ARF, which ensures that the quality of training and assessment is consistent and reliable. Under the ARF, an organisation wishing to provide training, assess competencies and issue VET qualifications under the AQF, must be a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). It is the responsibility of an RTO, whether it is a school or a school system, a TAFE college or other training provider, to ensure that quality assurance requirements are met. These requirements include access to adequate resources and appropriately qualified staff in order to deliver and/or assess training programs that lead to the achievement of qualifications (or individual units of competency) that have been identified in the RTO s scope of registration. As part of its registration, each RTO must agree to recognise AQF qualifications issued by any other RTO. 7

8 4.2 Industry Curriculum Frameworks Industry curriculum frameworks have been developed to satisfy the requirements of the National Training Framework as well as the purposes of the NSW Higher School Certificate. The Construction Curriculum Framework has been designed to align the current range of industry endorsed HSC courses delivered by schools and TAFE with units of competency and qualifications in the Civil Construction and General Construction Training Packages. An industry curriculum framework describes the range of units of competency from the relevant training package that is endorsed by the Board of Studies for inclusion in the NSW Higher School Certificate. It also describes the groupings of units of competency that define specific HSC VET courses. These are determined largely by the qualifications available in the relevant training package and their suitability for school students attempting the Higher School Certificate. An industry curriculum framework must also meet a set of industry and school related criteria developed to promote the strengthening and extension of VET in the Higher School Certificate. Units of competency are the components against which assessment and reporting occur for the purpose of gaining credit towards an AQF qualification. They are also the focus of courses within an industry curriculum framework. In this sense, the elements of competency, which collectively define the outcomes of each unit of competency, also define the outcomes and determine the content of HSC VET courses within each framework. 8

9 5 Rationale The continued inclusion of industry recognised course structures in construction in the Higher School Certificate will allow students to access both long-term and shortterm employment opportunities. AQF Certificates I and II are considered appropriate for employment at an operational level but also lead on to further qualifications in supervision, specialist occupations and management in a range of industry sectors. The building and construction industry consists of seven major sectors: civil construction, general construction, off site, services, heavy engineering, technical/para-professional and professional. The industry accounts for 7% of GDP and employs just under 8% of the workforce. The total level of industry activity in New South Wales is projected to peak at around $18.9 billion in 1998/99, which is some $2.3 billion above the last industry peak 1. The activity is expected to be centred on the Sydney region. Employment in the construction industry remains strong, with growth in small business, while in some sectors, there is a growth of specialised enterprises and subcontracting. Virtually all occupations within the industry have been subject to significant change in the last decade and this trend is likely to continue through the use of more sophisticated technology in a range of areas. The Construction Curriculum Framework has been developed in response to the needs of the industry and also to provide training and education opportunities for the full range of HSC students. The framework is based on units of competency in the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages. Courses within the framework replace the Building and Construction Content Endorsed Course and TAFE delivered HSC Building and Construction Skills courses. In Construction (120 indicative hours), students who are assessed as workplace competent in the prescribed units of competency are eligible for the award an AQF Statement of Attainment towards the AQF Certificate I Construction from either the General Construction (BCG10198) or Civil Construction (BCC10198) Training Packages. In Construction (180 indicative hours), students assessed as workplace competent in the prescribed units of competency are eligible for the award of the AQF Certificate I Construction from either the General Construction (BCG10198) or Civil Construction (BCC10198) Training Packages. In Construction (240 indicative hours), students who are assessed as workplace competent in the appropriate units of competency are eligible for the award of either of the AQF Certificates I. Students who do not qualify for either Certificate I Construction may be eligible for an AQF Statement of Attainment towards either Certificate. Students who complete either Certificate I and additional units of competency are eligible for an AQF Statement of Attainment towards the AQF Certificate II in General Construction (BCG20198) or AQF Certificate II in Civil Construction (BCC20198). 1 Industry Profile for Construction Industry Training Advisory Board (CITAB), Summary Of Industry Vet Plan, , NSW Board of Vocational Educational and Training website, March

10 The two extension courses, Construction Specialist Studies (60 indicative hours) and Construction Specialist Studies (120 indicative hours), provide students with the opportunity to gain additional competencies. The knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired by students in undertaking courses within the Construction Curriculum Framework will also be of value in future study and daily life. 6 Aim The Construction Curriculum Framework is designed to enable students to acquire a range of technical, personal and organisational skills valued both within and beyond the workplace. Students will also acquire underpinning skills and knowledge related to functional areas within the construction industry. Through study in this subject students will gain experience that can be applied to a range of contexts including work, study and leisure and that can be used in making informed career choices. The Construction Curriculum Framework seeks to align the existing industry endorsed HSC VET construction courses with the General Construction and Civil Construction Training packages. 7 Construction Curriculum Framework 7.1 Training Package Qualifications Framework The Construction Curriculum Framework aligns existing industry endorsed HSC VET construction courses with the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages. These training packages incorporate 25 nationally recognised qualifications ranging from AQF Certificate I to AQF Certificate III, based on the National Construction Competency Standards. Figures 2 and 3 on page 11 of this document illustrate qualification levels, the relationship between each qualification and the articulation between the qualifications. 7.2 Characteristics of AQF Qualifications AQF qualifications reflect a level of performance and degree of responsibility for one s own output and the output of others in a workplace context. The qualifications included under the AQF are defined in terms of units of competency and generally encompass attributes that might be broadly categorised as technical, interpersonal and environmental. The AQF levels relevant to the industry curriculum frameworks are Levels I to III. A brief description of Levels I, II and III, adapted from the Australian Qualifications Framework Implementation Handbook 2 follows. AQF Level I Work is likely to be carried out under direct supervision. Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform a defined range of activities, most of which would be routine and predictable. 2 Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Advisory Board, The Australian Qualifications Framework Implementation Handbook 2nd ed, AQF Advisory Board, Carton, Vic

12 An individual demonstrating competencies at this level would be able to: demonstrate knowledge by recall in a narrow range of areas demonstrate basic practical skills, such as the use of relevant tools perform a sequence of routine tasks given clear direction receive and pass on messages/information. AQF Level II Work is likely to be carried out under direct supervision. Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform in a range of varied activities or knowledge application where there is a clearly defined range of contexts in which the choice of actions required is usually clear and there is limited complexity in the range of options to be applied. An individual demonstrating competencies at this level would be able to: demonstrate basic operational knowledge in a moderate range of areas apply a defined range of skills apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems perform a range of tasks where choice between a limited range of options is required assess and record information from various sources take limited responsibility for one s own outputs in work and learning. AQF Level III Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and competencies would cover selecting, adapting and transferring skills and knowledge to new environments and providing technical advice and some leadership in resolution of specific problems. This would be applied across a range of roles in a variety of contexts, with some complexity in the extent and choice of options available. An individual demonstrating these competencies would be able to: perform a defined range of skilled operations usually within a range of broader related activities involving known routines, methods and procedures exercise some discretion and judgement in the selection of equipment, services or contingency measures operate within known time constraints take some responsibility for others participate in teams, including group or team co-ordination. 12

13 7.3 Units of Competency included in the Construction Curriculum Framework Each qualification comprises units of competency. These units of competency are either: compulsory core units or elective units. The core units of competency describe a compulsory part of the skill profile for every job in the industry. Each qualification has its own core units of competency relevant to the qualification level and a selection of elective units of competency. The core units of competency for both AQF Certificates I Construction in the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages are compulsory units of competency for all Construction (240 indicative hour) courses within the Construction Curriculum Framework. These units of competency should not be delivered in isolation, but should be embedded and contextualised throughout the entire course. Qualifications within the Civil Construction Training Package and General Construction Training Package have been designed to facilitate flexibility, multiskilling and specialisation. A key feature is the fact that units of competency are not exclusively related to any occupation. There is also opportunity for customisation of qualifications and units of competency. This may be undertaken only by Registered Training Organisations within the Customisation Guidelines contained in the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages. The qualifications within the Construction Curriculum Framework are based on content and structural rules of the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages. The qualifications in the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages available through the Construction Curriculum Framework are: Statement of Attainment towards either of the Certificates I in Construction Certificate I in Construction (General BCG10198, or Civil BCC10198) Certificate I in Construction and/or a Statement of Attainment towards the Certificate II in General Construction (BCG 20198) or a Statement of Attainment towards the Certificate II in Civil Construction (BCC20198) Potential course structures have been presented to maximise articulation into postschool employment and/or training pathways. Courses may also be structured to accommodate specialisation and/or multiskilling. Registered Training Organisations will need to check their scope of registration to determine their eligibility to deliver particular units of competency. 13

14 The Construction Curriculum Framework includes all of the units of competency that make up the Certificate I in Construction, the Certificate II in General Construction and the Certificate II in Civil Construction. It also includes a range of units of competency from Level III Certificates in Construction. This will enable continued delivery of all industry endorsed HSC VET construction courses. A list of units of competency in the recommended courses within the Construction Curriculum Framework appears in Figure 4 on page 15 of this document. Additional units of competency that are not detailed in the Construction Curriculum Framework may be included for endorsement for the Higher School Certificate by the Board of Studies, provided that the inclusion of this unit of competency is consistent with the requirements of the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages. School system support is required and RTOs must have the capacity within their scope of registration to deliver these units of competency. NOTE: Units of competency appearing in bold indicate the units of competency that form the basis for the optional HSC examination. 14

16 8 Course Structures for the Construction Curriculum Framework 8.1 Courses within an Industry Curriculum Framework An industry curriculum framework for the Higher School Certificate describes the range of units of competency that have been identified as being suitable for the purposes of the Higher School Certificate. Units of competency included in recommended course structures within the Construction Curriculum Framework are shown in Figure 4 on page 15. Each course within a framework describes how the available units of competency can be grouped to gain units of credit towards the Higher School Certificate. The Construction Curriculum Framework includes the following courses: Construction (120 indicative hours) consists of units of competency that contribute to AQF Certificates I Construction (180 indicative hours) consists of units of competency that contribute to AQF Certificates I Construction (240 indicative hours) consists of units of competency that contribute to AQF Certificates II Construction Specialist Studies (60 indicative hours) includes a range of additional units of competency Construction Specialist Studies (120 indicative hours) includes a range of additional units of competency. 8.2 Allocation of Hours for Unit Credit in the HSC Units of competency drawn from the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages are not defined in terms of duration. The amount of time required by individual students to achieve competency will vary according to their aptitude and experience. Where a training program is designed for delivery by a Registered Training Organisation, the RTO will specify the length of the training program according to the curriculum resources/delivery strategies chosen. However, for the purposes of the Higher School Certificate, courses must be described in terms of their indicative duration. Courses are 240 indicative hour courses, 180 indicative hour courses and (in the case of Extension courses) 120 indicative hour courses or 60 indicative hour courses. For this reason indicative hours for unit credit towards the Higher School Certificate have been assigned to each unit of competency within the framework. It is emphasised that the assignment of indicative hours does not imply that all students will fulfil all requirements for a unit of competency within these hours. Registered Training Organisations may determine that additional or fewer hours are required for the achievement of particular competencies. It is also expected that students will need to spend additional time in practising skills in a real or simulated work environment and in completing projects and assignments, in order to fulfil industry assessment requirements. 16

17 Figure 4 shows the indicative hours assigned to each unit of competency included in recommended courses in the Construction Curriculum Framework for the purpose of unit credit towards the Higher School Certificate. 8.3 Course Design The Construction Curriculum Framework allows for flexibility in the design of courses within the framework. This will enable existing industry endorsed courses to continue within the new Higher School Certificate. Most units of competency up to AQF Certificate II in the General Construction and Civil Construction Training Packages are available for inclusion in courses within the framework. A limited range of units of competency from Level III Certificates is also available. However, the Board of Studies has identified a number of potential course structures to maximise students career opportunities along particular pathways. The recommended course structure for Construction (120 indicative hours) and Construction (180 indicative hours) includes a core common to both training packages and electives that may be drawn from either training package. Recommended course structures for Construction (240 indicative hours) are: a generic course that draws on a range of units of competency from across both training packages a General Construction course consisting of units of competency from the General Construction Training Package a Civil Construction course consisting of units of competency from the Civil Construction Training Package. Note that a number of units of competency are identified in all Construction (240 indicative hours) courses for the optional HSC examination. These are indicated in Figure 4 on page 15 and Figure 5 on page 18. The two extension courses, Construction Specialist Studies (60 indicative hours) and Construction Specialist Studies (120 indicative hours), allow students to gain additional competencies. The identified course structures are described in Section 8 from page 20. Figure 5 on page 18 shows the relationship between units of competency, recommended course structures and units of competency that form the basis of the optional HSC examination. The combinations of units of competency selected must meet the requirements of either the General Construction Training Package or the Civil Construction Training Package. 17
