EAL SVQ Performing Engineering Operations at SCQF Level 5

​The EAL SVQ Performing Engineering Operations at SCQF Level 5 has been designed to allow a learner to evidence their competence in completing engineering tasks related to their job role. The assessment routes (units) within the qualification have been developed from the relevant National Occupational Standards developed and published by Enginuity, the sector skills council for the engineering sector.

This qualification is a foundation of the Modern Apprenticeship in Engineering Framework at SCQF Level 6, it consists of three mandatory units and five optional units. Optional units may be chosen from Group A and / or Group B. Optional units selected from Group B must be delivered and assessed in the candidate's place of work (i.e. not in a sheltered / realistic environment) as detailed within the qualification specific information in section 4.0 of the qualification Manual.

The overall grading type for this qualification is Pass/Fail. Units will be assessed and endorsed against the learners chosen discipline. Learners will be required to create a Portfolio of Evidence to prove their competence in the workplace. Learners should therefore select the units that reflect the job roles they carry out in the workplace to be able to obtain the required workplace evidence.

Learners will be assessed in relation to their chosen discipline and endorsed accordingly. The endorsement will be printed on the certificate to show future employers which discipline was covered during their assessment.

Learners should be in a job or placement where they are carrying out relevant tasks and responsibilities which allow them to gather the required evidence.
