ANNEX D - 8
Following on from the role profiling activity, we undertook a simple gap analysis to confirm the
detail of what elements of the various Standards are covered in the two main courses and the
outcome of that process is at Annex A to this chapter.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
The two main courses provide the employee with the majority of the ‘Knowledge Requirements’ in
the relevant Standards; the training provided also gives a small proportion of the skills required, i.e.
the ‘Performance Criteria’ for the tasks they are required to undertake. The elements are specific to
an organisation and we could not discern any generic principles that could/should be taught on the
technical courses being reviewed.
This project has clearly demonstrated that the occupational standards developed in UK and taken up
by the EUExcert partners can easily be mapped to the learning objectives and training curricula of
technical explosives courses within the German system. It follows that an explosives qualification
based on these Standards could easily be mapped to the German competence regulations and vice
versa. The aims of the EUExcert programme are viable:
EUExcert aims to establish a stable firm fundament and framework for vocational education
of people in European explosive sector. Training and education institutions ,as well as social
partners, will have a tool for competence and career planning.

RECOMMENDATIONS
If any organisation wishes to ensure that these elements are included in training and/or assessment,
particularly organisation that are subject to the German or similar qualifications system, they will
need either to run bespoke training with a training provider or train and assess in-house.
The NOS knowledge requirements can aid organisations in specifying their training objectives.
POSSIBLE FUTURE
Dresdner Sprengschule has the possibility of using the Standards and principles for their adoption
and implementation to make their training more accessible to international candidates who might
wish to specify their training objectives in common terminology.
MAXAM Deutschland have the possibility of using the Standards to specify work and associated
competence requirements across the entire MAXAM Group.

APPENDIX A - Gap Analysis Findings
Working through the NOS that had been selected as part of the previous study, we found that the
courses, naturally, cover the theory elements required, with the exception of these particular areas:
3.15
vi the customer’s objectives and needs
vii the test procedure and plan
iii the design, characteristics and potential hazards of the test
xii special designated responsibilities (e.g. emergency response)
xv test reporting documentation
xvi the competences of the personnel involved
xvii reporting lines and procedures
xix your own level of authority
xx the roles and responsibilities of team members
xxi the relevant quality standards and compliance regime
xxii the requirements of confidentiality
3.18
vii the composition and functioning of the explosive substances and articles under test
viii the relevant performance specifications for the explosive substances and articles
ix the tolerances defined by the performance specification
x the test criteria
xi the limitations of the test equipment
xii the capabilities and limitations of the data analysis methods and techniques
xiii how to interpret, collate information, from different sources, into suitable formats for
comparison
iv test documentation and procedures
xv reporting lines and procedures
xvi the relevant quality standards and compliance regime
3.19
xiv reporting lines and procedures
ANNEX D - 11
xv your level of authority, and that of others with whom you work
4.3.1
xiv the documentation requirements
4.3.2
xv the documentation requirements
4.4
ix the equipment layout, and connection to other systems
xiii the limits of your responsibility
xiv reporting procedures
xv the requirements of the documentation
4.5
xii your organisation’s procedures for waste disposal
xiii the documentation requirements
4.6
xiv the documentation requirements
4.8
x the limits of your authority
xii reporting lines
xiii the documentation requirements
4.10.1
xiv the limits of your authority
xvi the requirements of documentation
4.10.2
ix equipment layout, and its connection with other systems
xiv reporting lines
ANNEX D - 12
xv the documentation requirements
4.13
xi reporting lines
xii the documentation requirements
11.8
ix the competences of team members
13.16
v the organisation’s explosives safety management system
x the competence of the personnel involved
ANALYSIS
All these elements are specific to an organisation and we could not discern any generic principles
that could/should be taught on the technical courses being reviewed.
RECOMMENDATIONS
If any organisation wishes to ensure that these elements are included in training and/or assessment,
particularly organisation that are subject to the German or similar qualifications system, they will
need to either run bespoke training with a training provider or train and assess in-house.
The NOS knowledge requirements can aid organisations in specifying their training objectives.
