Workplace training for concrete specialists goes from strength to strength

摘要

Over the last six years, together with the industry, the BCITO has worked to provide a solution to workplace training by developing National Certificates to recognise individual's knowledge and skills in all areas of the cement and concrete sector. Along with the help of industry professionals, they have developed the following qualifications: · National Certificate in Concrete Production (Ready-mix) · National Certificate in Concrete Construction (Precast) · National Certificate in Concrete Construction (Siteworks) · National Certificate in Concrete Construction (Placing and Finishing) · National Certificate in Concrete Technology. All of the qualifications (except the National Certificate in Concrete Technology) are delivered in the workplace and are competency-based with a mixture of theory and practical skills. Assessment is carried out by registered workplace assessors, with the focus being on successfully demonstrating the skills and knowledge in a particular task. The assessors monitor an individual's progress, provide objective feedback and if necessary recommend the individual to undertake additional training.
