What is this qualification?

These qualifications are Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). They involve the skills and knowledge

needed for occupations in performing engineering operations including the ability to organise work and

identify and prevent problems. SVQs are based on national occupational standards which the candidate

must meet to be competent in a particular task. The achievement of SVQs will encourage an employee to

value their contribution to the workplace and it will develop their skills and potential within the performing

engineering operations field.

Who is this qualification for?

This qualification is for :

individuals who need to acquire engineering competencies in a realistic, sheltered and controlled

environment such as that offered by schools, colleges, training providers, company training centres,

HM Prison Services and the MOD training workshops, enabling a safe progression into the

workplace/employment

individuals employed in engineering or manufacturing who require additional engineering

competencies as part of an existing job role or to enable career progression

candidates undertaking Semta apprenticeship frameworks.

What are the learner pre-requisites?

There are no entry qualifications or age limits required by learners to undertake this qualification unless

this is a legal requirement of the process or the environment. Assessment is open to any learner who has

the potential to achieve the assessment criteria set out in the assessment routes.

Where does this qualification lead?

Performing Engineering Operations at Level 2 forms a major component of Semta’s engineering

apprenticeship framework and allows progression onto a variety of other SVQ Level 3 engineering related

qualifications.

How is the qualification delivered?

PEO can be delivered in the workplace (in a sheltered environment) or at a centre through workshop

activities, etc. There is no exam. PEO is also the foundation into other engineering qualifications and gives

learners an insight into engineering.

What does it cover?

This qualification covers the fundamentals skills and knowledge common to all engineering and

manufacturing practices, including health and safety requirements and communicating engineering

information. It offers an extensive choice and flexibility for learners to demonstrate competence in one or

more of a broad variety of engineering and manufacturing activities.

How is the qualification assessed?

The qualification is assessed by:

holistic assessment

portfolio of evidence (could be electronic)

verbal questioning

witness testimony

knowledge and understanding.

The PEO assessment routes are intended to have a wide application throughout the engineering sector. It

is necessary therefore to have a flexible approach to the environment in which the assessment routes are

delivered and assessed.

There will be learners who have been working in an industry for some time and wish to acquire a broad

range of basic competencies as part of an existing job role or to enable career progression. The PEO

assessment routes will satisfy that need.
