Plan explosive ordnance trials

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to prepare, plan and monitor/amend trials in the explosive ordnance research environment.

Trials are a common component of explosive ordnance research and involve a large number of personnel both in their planning and implementation. Individuals however, may not necessarily be involved in both the planning and implementation of the research. It is common that individuals involved in the planning are not involved with the implementation of the plan.

In other instances an individual may be involved with both the planning phase and the implementation phase of the trials.

This unit covers the competency required to plan trials in the explosive ordnance research environment.

Explosive ordnance trials are normally conducted to select new weapons systems or explosive ordnance for introduction into the Australian Defence Force.

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:

identify and select trial methodologies and procedures and trial evaluation procedures where these are not provided

plan the trial

analyse trial outcomes

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated trials 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.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

facilities and resources used in conducting trials in a research environment

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

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.

Trials may include:

Environmental testing

Organisational trials

Proof testing

Research group or divisional trials

Specific field testing which is not a normal component of laboratory testing

Methodologies and procedures may include:

Those established by:

organisation

research group

divisions

Or may be specified by the client

Resources may include:

Budgets

Materials

Personnel

Time

Information support systems may include:

Computerised systems

Manual systems

A clear and comprehensive format may include:

Development of new procedures for future activities

Recommendations that can be easily understood

Solutions to problems that were faced in the planning

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.
