• Identify the most suitable product for the specific substrate
• Apply temporary surface protection to areas correctly
• Set up and use HVLP turbine or compressor spray painting equipment
• Spray the prepared areas correctly to a high quality finish
• Remove temporary surface protection (Demask) and clean up
• Troubleshoot common preparation and application defects
• Calculate basic costings

Occupational relevance

Training delivered against this standard would be relevant to the following occupational group(s):

• operative and craft

Delegates pre-requisites

There are no delegate pre-requisites as part of this standard, however a basic knowledge of spray painting and construction terminology would be beneficial.

Instruction/ supervision

As a minimum, course trainers must be able to demonstrate that, in relation to this standard, they have:

• an award in education and training (or equivalent, as per requirements for approved training organisations)
• at least 2 years industrial experience relevant to the scope of the standard
• a verifiable CV

Delivery

All materials and equipment must be of a suitable quality and quantity for delegates to achieve learning outcomes and must comply with relevant legislation.

The learning environment, class size and delegate/trainer ratio must allow training to be delivered in a safe manner and enable delegates to achieve the learning outcomes.

The following delivery methods may be used in the delivery of this standard:

• face to face learning environment only (such as classroom/workshop etc.)

This standard is predominantly practical training.

This standard is considered to be set at an intermediate level.

Assessment

For the successful completion of training, delegates must complete an end of course practical assessment or knowledge test that measures all learning outcomes and has a pass or fail criteria.

Methods of assessment considered appropriate for training delivered against this standard are:

• written assignments or multi choice questions
• practical assessment

Quality assurance

Assured

Quality assurance against this standard will require initial approval of the training organisation and their content mapped to the standard.

CITB will also conduct an approval intervention, either desk-based or centre visit, to ensure the training organisation can meet the requirements of the training standard.

Approved training organisations (ATOs) will be required to present information on records of training and assessment upon request to CITB for desk-based analysis. They will also be visited annually by the CITB quality assurance team.

Renewal

Refresher every 3 years

Buffer / grace period

3 months

Approval date

13th July 2023

Review cycle
