The key to our success in this area is that we only enrol candidates onto our qualifications in the first place that we knowhave the skills, knowledge and experience to be successful. As you will be aware, CITB SSC and CSCS have stipulated that for these two qualifications ‘learners must demonstrate relevant verifiable experience and competence in their occupational area’. This means that you must now provide details of the specific construction area (endorsement) that the learner was assessed in for their supervision competency. This is a mandatory CSCS requirement. CSCS will not issue cards if this information is not provided with the CSCS card application. Interim process from 1 June 2019 (all other Construction S/NVQs with endorsement requirements) We are currently in discussions with CSCS to finalise the process for incorporating all endorsements into all S/NVQ's for implementation on 1 January 2020. We will provide further details in due course. Learners may progress from the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision (Construction) to a range of qualifications at Level 4 and above.

Delivering centres must ensure they have evidence that candidates meet these requirements prior to registering them on this qualification. We have agreed an approach with CSCS to enable learners to receive their CSCS card in light of the new requirements.CITB SSC and CSCS have stipulated that all other CSCS cards must be issued with the relevant unit endorsement to show the piece of Plant, Equipment, Activity or Specialism that the learner has been assessed in. This is a mandatory CSCS requirement. CSCS will not issue cards if this information is not provided with the CSCS card application. Interim process from 15 April 2019 (applicable to Occupational Work Supervision only)

As an interim approach which is applicable from 1 June 2019, SQA and CSCS have agreed that centres should complete the 'side letter' attached. This should be submitted to CSCS along with any other documentation required by CSCS to provide the relevant card. As a result, there will no longer be a requirement for side letters or endorsements in the current S/NVQs. This decision means that: We carry out a thorough profiling process (free of charge) with each and every candidate before enrolment to make 100% sure that the qualification is achievable before you start. The Gold Supervisor CSCS card evidences that you have completed a NVQ level 3 with a focus on supervision. For example, you may complete the NVQ level 3 in Occupational Work Supervision or the NVQ level 3 in Construction Contracting Operations. How do I get a Gold CSCS Card?

The qualification will develop knowledge and skills in areas such as confirming work activities and resources for an occupational work area in the workplace. Learners can specialise in monitoring progress of work against schedules in the workplace. awarding bodies will no longer be required to endorse an OWS qualification by the issuance of an endorsement or side letter to the award. The qualification is assessed by completing a portfolio of evidence which details what the learner has completed at work. This can be gathered through observation, professional discussion, witness testimony or supporting documentary evidence. The assessor can work alongside the learner to confirm that they have met the requirements of the qualification and that they are therefore competent in their role. Ongoing course assessment will apply. Each unit specification gives detailed information on the assessment criteria, assessment (evidence) requirements and guidance on instruments of assessment for the unit.

We have since gone through the reaccreditation process for the SVQ to remove the endorsement units. The qualification is now available under group award code: GT1N 23.

This is set by Hotjar to identify a new user’s first session. It stores a true/false value, indicating whether this was the first time Hotjar saw this user. It is used by Recording filters to identify new user sessions. Competence is displayed through the assessor observing the learner demonstrate that they carry out their normal work activities competently and to the industry standard and comply with current legislation and company procedures. Following consultation with industry, it was clear that while the role carried out by a supervisor was common across a number of occupational areas, to operate effectively an occupational supervisor needed to be competent in the occupational area being supervised. This was to ensure they would bring knowledge and understanding of the specific working practices, quality standards, and health and safety requirements to exercise their duties effectively. It was therefore agreed that, where overarching supervisory qualifications such as OWS were used, it was on the proviso that awarding organisations verify: the individual's experience and competence in their occupational area prior to being registered for the Occupational Work Supervision qualification.
