National Certificate in Pavement Surfacing (Chipseal Design) (Level 5)
Level
/ 5Credits
/ 88Purpose
This national certificate is designed for experienced designers of chipseal pavements working in the chipseal surfacing industry in a contracting or consultancy context. The holder of the qualification is able to demonstrate knowledge of materials and plant for chipseal surfacing, work safely in the pavement surfacing industry, and design chipseal pretreatments and surfacings including polymer-modified types.
All the standards are compulsory. They recognise competence in applying knowledge of materials and plant for chipseal surfacing, polymer-modified types, and safe working practise in the pavement surfacing industry.
This qualification shares some standards with the National Certificate in Pavement Surfacing (Multiple Sites Supervision) (Level5) with strands in Asphalt and Chipseal, and with an optional strand in STMS Level 2 and 3 Roads [Ref:1426] and the National Certificate in Pavement Surfacing (Bulk Bitumen Equipment) with strands in Gangbar Sprayer, Handbar Sprayer, and Tank Wagon [Ref:1427].
