Review of Competenz CMRs
Competenz has completed the review of the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMRs) above.
Date new version published April 2016
The next CMR review is planned to take place during 2020.
Summary of review
Over the last few years, Competenz has been involved in several mergers with other Industry Training Organisations (ITOs). These mergers have resulted in an increased number of CMR documents internally. The majority of these CMRs had more commonalities than differences, and, in recognition of this, it was decided to review the suite to align those requirements that were similar yet retain individual requirements for those industries that had distinctive differences.
For the Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, and Service sectors, CMR 0013 was selected as the ‘master’ CMR, incorporating the standardised information and the industry or sector-specific requirements for consent to assess for the Competitive Systems and Practices domain (Appendix 1), the Printing domain (Appendix 2), the Maritime subfield (Appendix 3), the Fire Protection domains (Appendix 4), and Forklift Training unit standards (Appendix 5). CMRs 0005, 0094, 0134, and 0188 were updated to mirror the appropriate sections of CMR 0013, and the standards on these CMRs will be transferred to CMR 0013 when they are next reviewed or revised. The wood-related manufacturing domains from CMR 0173 will also now be covered by CMR 0013, bringing all of the Manufacturing standards under the same CMR as they are reviewed/revised.
Compliance with new requirements
Requirements for consent to assess will apply with effect from April 2016.
Moderation system requirements will apply with effect from April 2016.
Organisations with consent to assess will be expected to be able to demonstrate compliance with the CMR from October 2016.
To ensure the least amount of change possible for our industries, Competenz has worked hard to retain the core requirements for consent to assess, which were very closely aligned across the previous CMRs, and to create appropriate appendices to encapsulate those different requirements that are industry-specific.
Competenz will communicate any changes in a timely fashion and work with any organisation that needs more lead time to accommodate any change required.
