Drawing skills for stonemasonry - introduction

Duration

6 hours

Purpose/scope

The purpose of this standard is to provide the learner with an introduction to the knowledge and skills required to develop a basic stonemasonry drawing using geometry

Scope:

• drawing equipment required
• basic geometric elements
• set up and arrange a drawing sheet in accordance with British Standards
• produce a basic stonemasonry drawing

Learner pre-requisites

There are no learner pre-requisites as part of this standard

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 learners to achieve learning outcomes and must comply with relevant legislation

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

The following materials will be required:

• drawing board
• parallel slide
• T-square
• paper
• scale rule
• compass
• set square
• pencil

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 entry level

Assessment

Informally Assessed

For the successful completion of training, the trainer must be satisfied that the learner has achieved all learning outcomes

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.
