Section 1 - Introduction
The Purpose of this Guide
These Assessment Guidelines are intended to provide specific and practical examples of how to assess
Candidates who are completing OPITO Global Occupational Standards which form part of OPITO’s Global
Vocational Qualifications for Oil and Gas Engineering Maintenance. The Guidelines should be read in
conjunction with The OPITO Oil and Gas Industry Competence Assessment and Verification Guidelines. It is
also important to take into consideration any guidance or assessment requirements specified within any
Occupational Standards. Occupational Standards are often referred to as Units of Competence or simply as
Standards.
OPITO Framework of Global Oil and Gas Technical Standards and Qualifications
The OPITO Framework of Global Oil and Gas Technical Standards and Qualifications comprises:

Training Standards which set benchmarks for the assessment of skills and knowledge and this provides a
foundation for building the skills required to work in the oil and gas industry

Occupational Standards which define the expected level of performance, knowledge, understanding and
behaviour an individual must achieve when carrying out job roles/functions in the workplace

Global Certificates and Qualifications which have been developed in conjunction with our awarding body
partner SQA and which will have global recognition.

Section 2 – Occupational Standards and Vocational Qualifications
Purpose and Structure of Occupational Standards
Occupational Standards define the expected level of performance, knowledge, understanding and behaviour an
individual must demonstrate when carrying out job roles/functions in the workplace. An Occupational Standard
is generally made up of Outcomes, Performance Criteria, Scope, Knowledge and Assessment Guidance.
Outcomes describe the skills that need to be demonstrated in the workplace in order to ensure competent
performance.
The level of performance required is detailed in statements referred to as Performance Criteria.
The Knowledge section defines what the Candidate must know and understand in order to complete the
skills being assessed. The knowledge is what is considered essential and not what is nice to have.
The Scope section defines activities that must be assessed, and the equipment that must be used, in order to
achieve the Outcomes and Performance Criteria.
Assessment Guidance provides examples of how evidence of competence may be generated. The Evidence
Requirements define the type and quantity of evidence that must be provided.
Examples of typical Engineering Maintenance Occupational Standard are shown in Section 5.
Target Group for Occupational Standards for Oil and Gas Engineering Maintenance
The Occupational Standards in Engineering Maintenance describe what maintenance craftsmen and
technicians in the oil and gas industry need to do in order to be deemed competent for their job roles.
There are currently 36 Engineering Maintenance Occupational Standards:

9 Occupational Standards have been developed at Oil and Gas Level 2 covering the skills required for
routine maintenance – these standards would be suitable for craftsmen

9 Occupational Standards have been developed at Oil and Gas Level 3 covering the skills required to
diagnose maintenance requirements – these standards would be suitable for experienced technicians

9 Occupational Standards have been developed at Oil and Gas Level 3 covering the skills required to
adjust the performance and condition of plant and equipment – these standards would be suitable for
experienced technicians

9 Occupational Standards have been developed at Oil and Gas Level 3 covering the skills required to
maintain components of plant and equipment – these standards would be suitable for experienced
technicians.
The scope of the standards in each of these 4 maintenance areas is outlined below.
Individuals can be assessed as competent in individual Engineering Maintenance Occupational Standards as
well as undertaking Vocational Qualifications. Full details of the Occupational Standards and Vocational
Qualifications are on pages 8 to 12.

OPITO Global Assessment Guidelines
Global Vocational Qualifications – Engineering Maintenance
A collaborative relationship between the Candidate and Assessor is the key to an effective assessment
process. Assessment is a staged process and the Assessor and Candidate have clear roles and responsibilities
in order to ensure a successful outcome.
The Assessor’s role is to:
 ensure those directly affected or contributing to the assessment process are informed
 ensure the Candidate understands what is to be assessed, where and when it is to be assessed and how it
is to be assessed (assessment planning)
 ensure the plant and equipment and any materials required for the assessment are safe and available
 advise the Candidate on how to identify and gather evidence – this will be documented in an Assessment
Plan
 observe the Candidate carrying out the tasks specified in the Occupational Standards in normal
workplace conditions and record the observations
 assess products of the Candidate’s own work e.g. job reports, maintenance checklist
 question the Candidate to assess knowledge and understanding
 advise the Candidates to how to present evidence
 ensure that the evidence is authentic and the work of the Candidate
 judge the Candidate’s evidence, ensuring assessment methods are valid, reliable, equitable and fair
 record the sources of evidence and assessment decisions
 identify any gaps in the Candidate’s competence and suggest ways of gathering additional evidence
 provide the Candidate with feedback on the assessment decisions.
The Candidate’s role is to:

prepare for assessment - ensure that the requirements of the Occupational Standard(s) and the
individual’s responsibilities within the assessment process are clearly understood

participate in assessment planning with the allocated Assessor

gather and provide authentic evidence of work carried out

agree with the Assessor suitable opportunities for the observation of performance in the workplace

answer questions and demonstrate knowledge and understanding to the Assessor

maintain a portfolio of evidence

receive and act on feedback from the Assessor.

Assessment Methods
Principles of Assessment
The Occupational Standards have been developed by OPITO in conjunction with industry, discipline
practitioners and other interested parties. The Vocational Qualifications have been designed so that
operational, safety and behavioural skills can be assessed in the workplace where competence is best
judged.
The majority of the evidence used to assess competence should be naturally occurring and generated from
the Candidate’s normal place of work whilst carrying out normal duties. This approach ensures that:

the assessment reflects normal working requirements and conditions

the Candidate is familiar with the procedures, plant and equipment

documentary evidence such as job reports can be naturally generated as the work is carried out.
The assessment process must take place over a minimum of a 3 month period to ensure that consistency of
performance can be judged.
Methods of Assessment
The methods of assessment used should be valid, reliable and equitable and fair:

valid means that the assessment method should be appropriate to the Occupational Standards and the
tasks that are being carried out

reliable means that the assessment method applied should ensure consistency in the results when used
with different Candidates, different Assessors, different assessment sites and different working
environments

equitable means that assessment is accessible to all Candidates who have the potential to be successful
in it

fair means that assessments have been objectively and consistently applied, ensuring all Candidates
have equal opportunities to succeed.
Assessment of competence involves a range of assessment methods to ensure effective cover of all the
Outcomes, Performance Criteria, Knowledge and Scope statements for each Occupational Standard.
The assessment approaches and evidence requirements are clearly stated for each Occupational Standard.
Examples of assessment requirements for an Oil and Gas Level 2 Occupational Standard and an Oil and Gas
Level 3 Occupational Standard are outlined on the next 2 pages.

OPITO Global Assessment Guidelines
Global Vocational Qualifications – Engineering Maintenance
Observation
The bulk of the evidence of a Candidate’s competence should be generated by an Assessor observing the
Candidate in the workplace carrying out normal maintenance activities. The use of a simulated work place
or simulated assessments should only be used in exceptional situations. It is recommended that the use of
simulation should be discussed with the OPITO Auditor.
A minimum of 3 observations must be carried out as Candidates carry out normal maintenance activities.
The observations should include safe working systems and working relationships, as well as the practical
maintenance skills. Additional observations may be carried out as required.
Observations must be carried out by a qualified Assessor and a record must be retained of what has been
observed and how this relates to the Occupational Standard. An example of an observation record is
included in Section 7 and a blank observation record is included in Section 8.
When carrying out maintenance tasks Candidates may work with more than one type of equipment. The
Assessor should use these opportunities to integrate assessments across more than one Occupational
Standard wherever possible.
There may be situations where it is difficult for the Assessor to be present when a Candidate is carrying out
the required assessment tasks, for example, due to shift or rotational patterns, logistical issues or where
tasks are performed infrequently. In some circumstances, therefore, it may be necessary to use an Expert
Witness to carry out an observation. This can only be done for a maximum of one observation for each
Candidate. Guidance on use of Expert Witnesses is included within the OPITO Oil and Gas Industry
Competence Assessment and Verification Guidelines. It is recommended that the use of an Expert Witness
is discussed with the OPITO Auditor.
Product Evidence
Whilst carrying out maintenance operations a Candidate will generate a considerable amount of information
in both paper and electronic formats that support maintenance activities. This may be used by the Assessor
to provide evidence of both practical skills and the Candidate’s knowledge and understanding of
maintenance operations and is termed ‘Product Evidence’.
If the Candidate is working in a team it is essential that any product evidence is directly attributable to the
Candidate.
Product evidence of work carried out could include authenticated evidence of maintenance tasks carried out
by the Candidate over the previous 3 to 6 months.
Version 1 – June 2014

OPITO Global Assessment Guidelines
Global Vocational Qualifications – Engineering Maintenance
Knowledge and understanding
Assessment of knowledge and understanding will typically cover knowledge of facts and procedures,
understanding of principles and concepts and application of principles and procedures.
Questions can be used to:

confirm that Candidates know why they are doing something and what actions need to be taken if
changes occur – what if…

confirm that the evidence collected by Candidates is valid and authentic

fill gaps in evidence where Candidates have not been able to demonstrate specific skills as they did not
occur when they were being observed

establish if the Candidates have relevant knowledge/experience to deal with non–standard or
contingency situations - Candidates will have to explain what to do in a given working situation and how
to do it .
Each Occupational Standard defines the knowledge and understanding that the Candidate must
demonstrate. Although a good proportion of this knowledge and understanding can be inferred during the
assessment of performance during normal maintenance activities, it is inevitable that additional questioning
will need to take place in order to test the depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding which cannot
be inferred from observation of performance, for example, the workings of plant and equipment and
potential faults.
Some of the knowledge requirements refer to underpinning maintenance principles and are common across
several of the Occupational Standards – this is illustrated on the next page for the Occupational Standards
relating to routine maintenance. This knowledge only has to be assessed on one occasion. Other knowledge
requirements will be specific to the plant/equipment. This is illustrated in the extract from the Occupational
Standard relating to Carry out Routine Maintenance on Mechanical Oil & Gas Plant & Equipment (Prime
Movers) on the next page.
Questions and their ideal responses are often prepared in advance using question banks to ensure a
consistent approach to the eliciting of underpinning knowledge/understanding. This will also help in
identifying the underpinning knowledge that is common across the Standards and which does not need to be
repeated. The results can then be cross referenced to the knowledge requirements in each of the
Occupational Standards.
A mixture of oral and written questions could be considered as this will provide flexibility and allow a variety
of approaches to the assessment process.
Assessors should retain a record of the all questions asked for each Candidate, together with the Candidate’s
responses.

Global Vocational Qualifications – Engineering Maintenance
Supporting Evidence
Examples of additional evidence which may be collected to support the assessment process include:

witness testimony from individuals who are in a position to provide informed feedback on the
performance and behaviours of the Candidate and to authenticate evidence – this could include
experienced colleagues, supervisors, mentors, technical specialists and clients

a CV or job history which can provide supporting evidence of the Candidate’s job experience/history

completion of a relevant qualification/training courses which can provide supporting evidence that the
Candidate has relevant knowledge of operational theory and procedures, work methods, operation of
the equipment and safety procedures.
If witness testimony is used then the witnesses and the opportunities for using their testimonies should be
identified during the assessment planning stage. The testimony should record what the Candidate has
demonstrated, how and under what circumstances. The relationship between the Candidate and witness
should be stated together with a record of the witness’s familiarity with the Occupational Standards. Where
possible, the testimony should be directly referenced to the Standards. In judging the evidence, the Assessor
will need to take into consideration and judge the value of the evidence provided by the witness testimony.
Assessment Process
Planning
The Assessor should be in regular contact with the Candidate to identify on-going opportunities to gather
evidence and plan for observations. This should be recorded in an assessment plan. An example of an
assessment plan is included in Section 7 and a blank assessment plan is included in Section 8.
There could be a number of challenges when carrying out assessment in the workplace which will require
careful planning to ensure that the assessment process is effective, takes account of naturally occurring
evidence that will arise during normal work activities and does not disrupt normal work operations. The
Assessor should liaise with those directly affected or contributing to the assessment and wherever possible
plan assessments around operational schedules.
Making and Recording Assessment Decisions
Assessment decisions must be related back to the requirements of the Occupational Standards. The
Assessor must record the assessment methods and evidence that was considered to make a decision on the
competence of the Candidate. An example assessment record is included in Section 7.
It is important that all Assessors and Internal Verifiers participate in regular standardisation meetings to
ensure consistent use of assessment methods throughout the Approved Centre and consistent approaches
to assessing Candidate evidence.
Version 1 – June 2014
22
OPITO Global Assessment Guidelines
Global Vocational Qualifications – Engineering Maintenance
Authentication of a Candidate’s evidence is required when the Assessor has not observed performance at
first hand. It is taken as granted that any performance observed by the Assessor is authentic and is the work
of the Candidate. Evidence not directly observed by the Assessor may be authenticated by the questioning
of the Candidate or by using witness testimony. Product evidence such as logs, reports and handover notes
must also be authenticated. This can be achieved by the Candidate signing the documents and then
obtaining counter-signatures from appropriate persons (e.g. supervisor), stating that the evidence is valid
and attributable to the Candidate.
Assessment records will need to be countersigned by the Internal Verifier in line with the internal
verification strategy.
Evidence should be securely retained for internal verification and external audit purposes for one year after
the assessment has taken place.
Feedback and Support to Candidates
Feedback to the Candidate by the Assessor should be provided on an ongoing basis and relate directly to the
requirements of the Occupational Standards. Assessors should meet with Candidates on a regular basis to
provide feedback on the evidence collection process and any assessment decisions that have been made.
Guidance and support should be provided if any issues have been identified with the evidence gathered or if
there is a shortfall in the evidence. The way to remedy these issues or shortfalls should be discussed and
planned.
Section 4 – Further Guidance
The full specifications for the Occupational Standards are provided in the OPITO Global Occupational
Standards Specifications for Oil and Gas Engineering Maintenance.
All organisations wishing to deliver the Global Vocational Qualifications for Oil and Gas Engineering
Maintenance must be an OPITO Approved Centre and must meet the requirements of OPITO’s Quality
Criteria for Global Oil and Gas Technical Standards and Qualifications.
