Training Courses for Highway Electrical Works

Scope The NHSS 8 Standards and Training Group have established and identified a number of courses which together with the HESA requirements for Approved Trainers, will ensure the level of training within the Highway Electrical sector meets a minimum requirement of professional learning. The minimum level will provide evidence of underpinning knowledge for the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme (HERS) and will support the CBQ level 2 and 3 knowledge outcomes. This document should be read in conjunction with the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme Handbook and the Requirements for Approved Training Organisations and Approved Trainers, available from the HESA web-site at www.thehea.org.uk. HESA Approved Providers that are also approved to deliver the Highway Electrical Apprenticeships are required to read this document in conjunction with the current Highway Electrical VRQ Specification for the Installation and Maintenance of Highway Electrical Works

It should be noted that any training not carried out in accordance with the Highway Electrical Training Specification by HESA Approved Trainers and appropriately certificated (by Lantra Awards in partnership with the HESA or by the Highway Electrical Skills Academy alone) or not specifically identified within the Highway Electrical Training Specification as agreed alternative training provision will be deemed as not meeting the knowledge requirements of this Sector Scheme and the associated Highway Electrical Registration Scheme.

Alternative Training Provision

Where alternative training provision has been adopted to replace HESA training courses, this does not preclude the completion of the required pre-requisite training for the related HESA course or courses.

On-line E-training is not accepted as a substitute for Highway Electrical Training Specification Courses, except where specifically stated.

(NOTE: For Alternative Training Provision, this must be certificated by the Awarding Body/Association in which the centre is regulated by and meet the certification validity as specified below. Short course e-learning is not permitted in all cases, unless specifically stated

➢ First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work Training – certificated by

St. John’s Ambulance, St. Andrew’s, St John Wales Red Cross, Lantra Awards & other Ofqual - Approved First Aid at work training providers. As of 1 October 2013,

the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 have been amended, removing the requirement for HSE to approve first aid training providers / delivery and qualifications. The change is part of HSE's work to reduce the burden on businesses and put common sense back into health and safety, whilst maintaining standards. The changes relating to first aid apply to businesses of all sizes and from all sectors. HSE will continue to set the standards for training. While the changes give employers flexibility, the one day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and three day First Aid at Work (FAW) courses remain the building blocks for first aid training. The First Aid at Work ACoP has been amended accordingly with the HSE setting out the training and delivery requirements and signposting further guidance. There is a clear hierarchy with Awarding Organisations (such as Lantra Awards) regulated by Ofqual and the Voluntary Aid Societies (St John Ambulance, British Red Cross and St Andrew’s First Aid) providing assurance to the employer that training and assessment will be delivered to the standards required and monitored (internally verified) to ensure consistency in the quality of the training and assessment delivery

Qualifications (e.g. NVQ’s, apprenticeships, HNC, degrees) do not need to be repeated and do not fall within this requirement, except where there are training elements as part of the qualification which fall within this Training Specification and the requirements of NHSS8 / HERS

For Refresher Training - alternative provision falls within the Appendix 1 Refresher Training Details, criteria, except where the alternative provision training requires a higher level of recertification.

Refresher Training applies equally to all categories of HERS registered operatives (including those registered under the Industry Accreditation Route) as applicable to their scope of registration, as defined by the level of registration under the Skilled Persons Route

Lantra Awards endorse the Highway Electrical Industry Training Specification courses, developed under the auspices of Sector Scheme 8 and the associated Highway Electrical Registration Scheme and acknowledge this through their technical awards.

The Training Specification developed by the Highway Electrical Skills Academy in partnership with Lantra Awards is mandatory for SSD8 and the associated Highway Electrical Registration Scheme. Training delivered in accordance with or exempted within the Training Specification is viewed by Lantra Awards as demonstrating best practice in providing under-pinning knowledge for the CBQ.

The Training Specification has been developed by the industry for the industry and the courses within have all been mapped against the relevant National Occupational Standards (NOS). Assessors can therefore be assured that the training devised within the Training Specification meets the required standard against the NOS.

Highway Electrical Trailblazer Apprenticeship Standards Achievement of either or both levels of the apprenticeship will have met in full the required level of underpinning knowledge and associated level of NVQ/CBQ as specified within this document and therefore satisfies the requirements of the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme

• Highway Electrical Maintenance & Installation Operative Level 2

• Highway Electrician / Service Operative Apprenticeship, Level 3 (includes Upskilling)



To meet internal and external audit requirements, evidence for date of individual course achievement will be required and added to the Learners HERS e-portfolio for reference. Achievement dates should be added to the Learners Ongoing development Training plan to ensure key dates for repeat/update training is not allowed to lapse.

Training Courses and Syllabi There are a number of competency matrices shown in the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme Handbook. These cover a number of specific sectors within the Highway Electrical sector. These define areas of competency assessment required for different occupational tasks. Course syllabi have been prepared as shown in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4. These courses not only support the needs of the sector competence card scheme but also support the required needs of the CBQ outcomes. The pre-requisites for each course are shown in the Contents Section, the identified pre-requisites are courses or a specific course requirement(s) that is/are required prior to taking follow-on course. Course pre-requisites, in general terms ensure that the Learner is not disadvantaged due to limited knowledge or experience before progression on to the next stage of training. Pre-requisite may be shown through certificated training, or from experience (experiential Learning) as confirmed by the employer. In certain circumstances confirmation of having attended an accepted certificated training course must be obtained (in addition to a possible statement confirming the required pre-requisite underpinning knowledge). The courses have been defined by a set syllabus, which provides the minimum level of required outcomes from the training. It will be the responsibility of the Approved Trainer to ensure that the training meets the outcomes of the training syllabus. Full details on the process for the approval and registration of Approved Trainers and Approved Training Organisations are available from the Highway Electrical Skills Academy –www.thehea.org.uk

Training Course Assessment Result Banding Accreditation The requirements for the end of course assessments are set out below:

• For multi-choice, closed book assessments (this is the preferred assessment as agreed by the SS 8 Standards and Training Group):

• Below 70% referred

• Equal to or Over 70% constitutes a Pass

• For multi-choice, open book assessments:


• Equal to or Over 75% constitutes a Pass

• For assessments other than multi-choice, closed or open book assessments:


• Equal to or Over 65% constitutes a Pass Those areas in which health and safety are critical - particularly for practical assessments – should be identified and the Learner must pass each of these. This would need taking into account when compiling the final mark. It is the responsibility of the Approved Trainer to ensure that the marking of practical assessments is recorded, transparent and available for audit.

Course Durations The course durations specified are the recommended minimum learning times only. Within the recommended time frame to complete the course, it is expected that the application of professional training would have ensured that the required level of learning had taken place and that multi-choice



summary evaluations and practical assessments to determine the required level of understanding have also taken place. Approved Training Organisations (ATO) are expected to ensure that they meet the learning hours required for any course or permitted combination of courses. Whilst the HESA may carry out ‘ad hoc’ checks, ATO's should not rely on this as a means of compliance checking A course can be longer than the recommended time frame, which would also take into account special needs and the abilities of the learner group. This must not exceed the specific learning daily hours specified below To ensure maximum learner engagement, concentration, focus and Learner recovery, training delivery is required to be delivered in ‘bitesize’ sessions, where;

▪ A course of duration of 4 hours is required to have typically a 15 minute break period,

which can be either one break or a number or shorter breaks. A course of length shorter

than 4 hours is required to have suitable breaks proportionate to the length of the course

▪ A course of 7 hours (one day), or a combination of days is required to have typically as a

minimum two 15 minute breaks which can be either one break or a number of shorter

breaks and one 30 minute lunch break, resulting in a minimum of 6 hour learning period,

split into reasonable blocks.

▪ A learner should not be subjected to more than 7.5 hours learning in any one working day,

either by single course multiples or by a combination of courses, and subject to point 4

being met and documented.

▪ Where a provider intends to deliver a number of courses within the same day to the same

learning cohort, clear evidence is required to demonstrate that the Learner welfare and

learning taxonomy have been considered and suitably catered for to ensure maximum

learner engagement.

▪ A course that specifically contains a large proportion of Learner practical activity and

learner ‘Hands On’, may constitute a break period for learners due to waiting time, this

must be reflected within the Trainer Lesson plan outcome report to clarify

▪ Course durations and effective learning hours specified are based on the maximum

number of Learners, where the number of learners are less than the maximum number of

Learners, course completion may vary. Such variations should be reflected on the Trainer

lesson plan comments for audit purposes.

Learning Hours - is the number of hours of learning within the Total Course duration hours which

include the appropriate level of breaks as clarified in 1 to 6 above.

Learner Numbers The term ‘Maximum Learner Number’ relates to the maximum number of learners allowed on a course, for any training period per trainer.

Competency Matrix and Occupations A Competency Matrix has been developed for a number of Highway Electrical sectors. These identify areas for the assessment of competency against occupational titles and the delivery of underpinning knowledge. They can be found in the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme Handbook. The matrices indicate mandatory items, which must be satisfied; if the employee carries out additional matrix tasks these items then become mandatory, there are also forbidden items which are not available to certain occupational titles.



The Competency Matrix is used by HEA, as administrator of the scheme, to determine the general mandatory areas of competency for checking portfolios on application for registration. Mandatory items are designated by an “M” in the relevant box. An “M” in the Competency Matrix under a given occupation indicates that one or more of the individual elements which make up the underpinning knowledge requirements of that area of competency will be required to be assessed (in terms of application of that knowledge) on site. An “X” in the Competency Matrix indicates that this area will not be expected to be present by HEA, as the Scheme Administrator, nor will this area be assessed for evidence of competency through the third party audit. However this does not preclude individual development and on-going training to increase or widen under-pinning knowledge.

Training Delivery Training will be delivered by Approved Trainers and Approved Training Organisations who meet the requirements and standards set by the Highway Electrical Skills Academy in partnership with Lantra Awards. It is their responsibility to ensure that effective training to common standards is achieved throughout the industry and that there is no abuse of the minimum recommendations. It is the responsibility of the Approved Trainers and Approved Training Organisations to ensure the requirements of the Approved Training Organisations manual are applied at all times, including learning room and onsite risk assessments. HESA will certificate the courses against the specified syllabi shown in the Contents section. A fee is due for each certificate. Specifically for Course 302.1 and 302.2 (& Course 310 when developed), it is necessary not only to meet the standard HESA / Lantra Awards requirements for Approved Trainers, but also to meet the additional Lantra Awards requirements for Approved Trainers for this course, as derived from NHSS 12D. The Standards and Training Group has agreed a maximum number of 8 learners per Approved Trainer for practical based courses and 12 per Approved Trainer for knowledge based courses. The course index identifies the maximum number of Learners per course, as defined by the Training and Standards Group.

Course Certificates Approved Training Providers must apply through the HESA for course certificates including Key Update Training , unless these are stated as exempted herein. All certificates must be applied for within the given timeframe, preferably, as soon as practicable after completion of the course to minimise the delay for certification processing. Where specific product or sector extensions are required for the courses, the appropriate section for workbook Form 6 must be correctly set to ensure appropriate certification



Training General Requirements NHSS 8 and the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme (HERS) require training at intervals not greater than every five years. This is a maximum period and employers should make a judgement as to whether the periods between training should be reduced. In order to assist registered organisations, the HEA Technical and Training Committee acting in its capacity as the NHSS 8 Standards and Training Group has produced recommendations for training for each Highway Electrical Training Specification module, as set out in the following table. The recommendations should be read in conjunction with this document and should be taken as the minima to be applied. The requirements can be enhanced depending on specific and particular circumstances.

Refresher Training The requirements as set out in appendix 1 of this document, assume that the person who gained a Lantra certificate, HESA, or from a named alternative provider, from the original course has been practising the application of the knowledge requirements on a regular basis within the last year of validity of the certificate. If this is not the case, then the employee should have to undertake the full course again. Appendix 1 does not remove the responsibility of the organisation to ensure the employees have been appropriately trained in line with the specification and to meet the requirements of the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme Where specified within Appendix 1, full course training requirements must be undertaken before the current certification expires Training is categorised as:

• Full Course This course is delivered in accordance with Training Specification and Approved Training Organisation Requirements by Highway Electrical Skills Academy (HESA) Approved Trainers or exempted training organisations as defined in the Highway Electrical Training Specification.

Further detail can be found in Appendix 1 of this specification.

E-Learning Where organisations wish to use an E-learning approach, the HESA must be advised in writing of the propose strategy and working procedure for this method Acknowledgements The Standards and Training Group is grateful for the time and effort contributed by trade organisations, employers, Institutions and individuals in the preparation, review and ongoing development of this Highway Electrical Training Specification.

Section 3 Specialist Course Modules – Additional Modules for Traffic Signs For most operations involving the installation, maintenance and replacement of signs and supporting structures, reference should be made to Section 2. Specifically, the Training Matrix for Traffic Signs – Non-electrical works – refers to courses 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506 and 508 in the Public Lighting section. Most of these courses can be applied across both sectors. However, where there are electrical objectives, these have been identified with an asterisk and a note and these should not be applied to Traffic Signs – Non-electrical. The modules below are specialist courses which are not dealt with in the preceding section.
