This unit of competency covers the competence to collect, calculate and/or estimate numerical information and to prepare various numerical reports to ensure efficiency in the organisation.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed in conjunction with other units that form part of the job role or function

Elements of competence contain both knowledge and practical components. Knowledge components may be assessed off the job. Practical components should be assessed on the job or in a simulated work environment

Evidence is best gathered using the products, processes and procedures of the individual workplace context as the means by which the candidate achieves industry competencies

The following should be made available:

a workplace or simulated workplace

documentation, such as enterprise or sample documents, invoices, statements, stock records, job cards, repair quotations, personnel records, time sheets and supply quotations

equipment for calculations, such as calculators or computers

a qualified workplace assessor

Method of assessment

It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover the varying circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons, subject to agreed authentication arrangements.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to collating figures, calculation and analysis

communicate ideas and information to use calculations in reports, emails and memos

plan and organise activities using numbers/calculations in plans/budgets

work with others and in a team by presentations involving team members

numerical skills in the selection and application of mathematical processes, including at a minimum; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

establish diagnostic processes which use numbers/calculations/ estimations when preparing budgets

technical skills in the use of calculators or computers

Required knowledge

basic knowledge of legislation and statutory requirements, including OHS

basic knowledge of enterprise policies and procedures in relation to the collection, storage and application of numerical information

basic mathematical concepts

calculations including addition, multiplication, subtraction, division and percentages

calculations involving whole numbers and fractions

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Business types

Enterprise may vary in size, type and location, in the range of work activities conducted, hours of operation and in the number and type of staff

Applications

Applications may include, but not limited to:

the involvement in the preparation of budgets, calculations involving invoices or order forms, sales calculations, calculation of costs, enterprise financial duties, calculation or estimation of quantities, materials, equipment settings or time requirements, wages and leave entitlement

Legislative requirements

Legislative requirements include:

state/territory legislation related to OHS and award provisions

Policies and procedures

Enterprise policies and procedures are followed regarding privacy and confidentiality

Information/documents

Information/documents may include:

manufacturer/component supplier specifications, enterprise operating procedures, customer requirements and industry/workplace codes of practice

numerical information may also be sourced from enterprise-specific documents, invoices, statements, stock records, job cards, repair quotations, personal records, time sheets, computer records, equipment or material supply quotations and supplier invoices or statements

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
