Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to develop and implement an explosive ordnance and/or weapons systems policy.

An understanding of the service environment in which the explosive ordnance and/or weapons systems are to be deployed and used is an essential consideration in the development and implementation of policy related to them.

This unit covers the competency required to apply knowledge of the service environment to the development and implementation of current work practice, procedures and policy.

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

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

apply service environment knowledge relevant to the work being performed

interpret environmental effects relevant to explosive ordnance

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions which accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and service requirements.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

information related to the operational environment of the Australian Defence Force

Method of assessment

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

Submission Requirements

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

apply environmental extremes in service operating environment

apply service environment knowledge relevant to work being performed

interpret environmental effects relevant to explosive ordnance

Required Knowledge

environmental effects relevant to explosive ordnance

environmental extremes in service operating environment

service environment knowledge relevant to work being performed

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Service includes:

Australian Defence Force, specifically the Navy, Army and Air Force

Service environments may include:

Operations on land

Operations on or below the sea

Operations in the air

Environmental extremes may include:

Explosive ordnance maintenance

Explosive ordnance storage, handling and transportation

Human factors

Safety and suitability for service (S3)

Weapon systems and platform integration

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.
