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 OPITOs Global Vocational Qualifications for Processing Operations:
Hydrocarbons. 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.
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
The OPITO Framework of Global Oil and Gas Technical Standards and Qualifications was
designed in partnership with industry and covers 6 levels which reflect the range of
skills and increasing levels of complexity and risk associated with job roles in the
industry.

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 Occupational
Standards cannot be assessed by simulation
The majority of the evidence used to assess competence should be naturally occurring
and generated from the Candidates normal place of work whilst carrying out normal
duties. This approach ensures that:
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.
11
Assessment
Assessment
approaches
Assessment Guidance
This Occupational Standard cannot be assessed by simulation.
The main means of assessment should be observation by
competent Assessors while Candidates perform tasks in the
workplace.
Safe working practices and effective working relationships should
form part of assessment checklists when assessing Candidates
performance.
Observation should be supported by questioning to ensure that
Candidates have the required knowledge and understanding.
Product evidence (e.g. workplace documents and job records) can
be used to provide evidence of work carried out this could include
work already completed.
Additional supporting evidence could include witness testimony
from individuals who can provide informed feedback on the
performance of Candidates.
Assessments should reflect normal work activities, wherever
possible.
Assessments can be integrated across the Outcomes and
Performance Criteria.
(Refer to OPITO Oil and Gas Competence Assessment and
Verification Guidelines and OPITO Assessment Guidelines for
Global Vocational Qualifications Processing Operations:
Hydrocarbons for more guidance.)
Evidence
requirement
s
12
Observation
The bulk of the evidence of a Candidates competence should be generated by an
Assessor observing the Candidate in the workplace carrying out normal work activities.
The use of a simulated work place or simulated assessments is not allowed.
A minimum of 3 observations must be carried out one for each for the following
stages in the process (observations can be carried out independently or integrated
where relevant):
The observations should include safe working systems (Outcome 5 and Scope 2) and
working relationships (Scope 3). Additional observations may be carried out to assess
the Candidate carrying out isolation and reinstatement operations (Outcome 4)
although this may also be assessed through a review of job reports.
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 observing a Candidate carrying out an assessment task for one Occupational
Standard it will often be necessary for the Candidate to integrate this with other plant,
equipment or utilities. This will certainly occur during the start-up and shutdown of
plant and equipment. The Assessor should use these opportunities to integrate
assessments and observe the Candidate performing the tasks across a number of
Occupational Standards.
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 not performed frequently. 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
Workplace records that the Candidate produces in the course of their work can be used
to provide supporting product evidence of the Candidates competence. Examples of
this include job records, risk assessments, isolation certificates, work procedures and
handover notes.
Product evidence of work carried out could include work already completed. For
example, Candidates are required to provide evidence that all the required types of
isolations and reinstatements have been successfully carried out. This could include
job records which provide evidence of isolations carried out by the Candidate over the
previous 3 to 6 months.
13
confirm that Candidates know why they are doing something and what actions need
to be taken if changes occur what if
fill gaps in evidence where Candidates have not been able to demonstrate specific
skills as they did not occur when they were being observed
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
work 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 internal configuration of
plant and equipment, chemical reactions taking place and the composition and physical
properties of process fluids.
Some of the knowledge requirements refer to underpinning process operations
principles and are common across all of the Processing Operations: Hydrocarbons
Occupational Standards as outlined on the next page. This knowledge only has to be
assessed on one occasion. Other knowledge requirements will be specific to the
process and/or site. This is illustrated in the extract from the Occupational Standard
relating to Operate an Oil and Gas Process (Wellheads) 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 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 Candidates responses.
14
15
16
Supporting Evidence
Examples of additional evidence which may be collected to support the assessment
process include:
a CV or job history which can provide supporting evidence of the Candidates job
experience/history
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 witnesss 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. This should be recorded in an assessment plan. An
example of an 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.
