FIS are working in collaboration with CITB on developing competency frameworks for Installers across the Super Sector project.
Competence Frameworks will set out and define the core competence requirements for individuals across the built environment. They are made up of a Route to Competence and a SKEB document (Skills, Knowledge, Experience & Behaviour) and an Implementation Plan.
As the Building Safety Act comes into effect, individuals will be required to prove that they are competent to do the job that they are on-site to do, so it is imperative that we have competence defined for all (in scope) roles.
Whilst the Building Safety Act currently focuses on those working on higher-risk buildings (HRBs), CITB will support WG2 Installer Competence Super Sectors, a subgroup of the Industry Competence Steering Group (ICSG), to consult with industry to develop Competence Frameworks.
Competence Frameworks will help improve competence by providing clarity and consistency across the industry with links to accredited qualifications and approved training, also supporting the strategy for addressing the skills demand.
From standardising competence and identifying the qualification landscape, an implementation plan will be produced which will help address any gaps identified by the consultation process and the defining of the Competence Framework.
Plastering is one the sector areas, where the SKEB document is complete and is now open for online review and feedback until 30th October 2024.
