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 operationalising a responsive
skill ecosystem 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 programme. Key priority economic growth sectors identified by the 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 industry to address identified skills and knowledge to enable industry growth and increased
employment through the provision of market responsive inclusive skills training programmes. Priority
sectors were identified to adopt a demand driven approach to training with effective inputs from Industry
Skills Councils (ISC’s), employer associations and employers.

This document is developed to improve skills and knowledge in accordance with the job roles, duties and
tasks of the occupation and ensure that the required skills and knowledge are aligned to industry
requirements.

The document also details the format, sequencing, wording and layout of the Competency Standard for an
occupation which is comprised of Units of Competence and its corresponding Elements.

Competency Standard – Shuttering and Scaffolding v.1 Oct 2018 5

Skills for Employment Investment Programme (SEIP)
Overview

A competency standard is a written specification of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for the
performance of an occupation, trade or job corresponding to the industry standard of performance required
in the workplace.

The purpose of a competency standards is to:

▪ provide a consistent and reliable set of components for training, recognising and assessing people’s
skills, and may also have optional support materials

▪ enable industry recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of workplace

competencies

▪ encourage the development and delivery of flexible training which suits individual and industry
requirements

▪ encourage learning and assessment in a work-related environment which leads to verifiable

workplace outcomes

Competency standards are developed by a working group comprised of national and international subject-
matter experts, SEIP, BTEB, ISC, and industry experts 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 technical and vocational
competency in many ways by emphasising 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 or at training
institute or any combination of these.

Competency standards consist of a number of units of competency. 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 of:

▪ unit title

▪ nominal duration

▪ unit code

▪ unit descriptor

▪ elements and performance criteria

▪ variables and range statement

▪ curricular content guide

▪ assessment evidence guide

Together, all the parts of a unit of competency:

▪ describe a work activity

▪ guide the assessor to determine whether the candidate is competent or not yet competent
