CITB has developed this standard in discussion with industry
Duration
Minimum 2 days of 6 learning hours per day
Purpose/Scope
The purpose of this standard is to provide the candidate with the knowledge and skills to safely set up and use an airless spray paint machine (Graco type) to install road markings using cold liquid type paints.
The scope of this standard covers:
- machine outline
- health & safety
- materials
- starting up
- basic maintenance techniques
- safe cleaning methods
- safe transportation of machine and materials.
Occupational relevance
Training delivered against this standard would be relevant to the following occupational group:
Candidate pre-requisites
For this training, it would be beneficial if candidates had a basic knowledge of the installation of thermoplastic road markings using hand screed techniques.
Instruction/Supervision
As a minimum, course instructors must be able to demonstrate that, in relation to this standard, they have:
- a train the trainer or instructional techniques course certificate
- successfully completed training to this standard
- at least 2 years relevant industrial experience
- a verifiable CV.

- Classroom.
All materials and equipment must be of a suitable quality and quantity for candidates to achieve learning outcomes, and must comply with relevant legislation.
The class size and candidate/instructor ratio must allow training to be delivered in a safe manner and enable candidates to achieve the learning outcomes.
Learning will use a blend of classroom and practical learning aimed at ensuring the candidate can safely use the pedestrian applicator to effectively install thermoplastic road markings.
This standard is considered to contain 51% or more practical training.
Assessment
Methods of assessment considered appropriate for training delivered against this standard are:
- practical assessment: off the job simulated environment
- theory assessment: classroom, e-learning, or a combination.
Quality assurance
