Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
All existing and potential deviations from processing requirements are identified and correctly pinpointed.
The short-, medium-, and long-term implications and consequences of the identified deviations are described in terms of the standard operating procedures.
Appropriate corrective action needed to correct deviations is initiated according to the standard operating procedures.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
The process required to protect the integrity of the sampling and sample analysis process is described according to leading practices and standard operating procedures.
All deviations from the production requirements are accurately identified making use of a sampling schedule and a full set of sample results.
The list of potential causes of the deviations covers all the possible causes and accurately indicates the most likely causes for the various incidents.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
The location of the instrumentation on a calcining plant is accurately indicated on flow charts and plant diagrams.
The description of the purpose of each of the identified instruments within a calcining process is aligned to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Interpretations of the readings on the instrumentation within the calcining process are accurate and reflect the actual condition on the plant.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
All the potential up-and down-stream implications in a calcining process of a full range of incidents/deviations are accurately described.
The potential short-, medium-, and long-term consequences of the identified implications are in line with the risk profile of the plant.
Preventative and contingency actions initiated address the problems and are executed in line with standard operating procedures.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:
The maintenance of all operating parameters is within the acceptable limits with a given range of standard variables.
Process documents and reports are accurately completed.
All alarm conditions are dealt with in accordance with site-specific standards.

Integrated Assessment:
Integrated Formative Assessment:
The skills development provider will use the Curriculum to guide them on the stipulated internal assessment criteria and weighting. They will also apply the scope of practical skills and applied knowledge as stipulated by the internal assessment criteria. This formative assessment leads to entrance into the integrated external summative assessment.

Integrated Summative Assessment:
An external integrated summative assessment, conducted through the relevant Assessment Quality Partner, is required for the issuing of this qualification. The external integrated summative assessment will focus on the Exit Level Outcomes and Associated Assessment Criteria.
