I am informed by the BCITF Board follows: (1) The CCF Program is a Skills Recognition program based on the national competency standards produced by Construction Training Australia and endorsed by ANTA for plant operators in the civil construction industry. The program provides a mechanism for skills recognition for experienced and long serving plant operators in the civil construction industry. The program training material consists of five modules, each one relating to elements within the competencies. Assessment against the content of all five modules must be achieved to meet the qualification and issuance of a certificate. The $13 125 grant was provided to enable 25 plant operators to complete the program. (2) The CCF program was for the assessment of plant operators within an existing course-based framework. The "fifth program" proposed by the BCITC was for the development of a skills recognition self assessment process for plumbers, gas fitters, drainers, roof plumbers, urban irrigation workers, refrigeration and mechanical services workers and fire protection services workers. The BCITC RPL development project had a total budgeted cost of $114 812. (3) Funding was allocated under the BCITF's Construction Skills program. (4) As the CCF proposal related to a specific pre-structured approach to worker assessment leading to a qualification, the initiative was funded as a pilot under the BCITF Construction Skills program. This program does not have funding submission criteria similar to the criteria for the BCITF Industry Special Projects program. (5) The BCITC program was for the development and eventual provision of self assessment material to approximately 100 employees across all services skill streams whereas the CCF program was for the assessment of plant operators under an already developed course structure to train and assess people in a manner similar to other skills courses funded by the BCITF. (6) The industry special projects guidelines had no bearing on the CCF proposal.
