This unit describes the skills required to conduct weapons range practice, range practice may include the following types of ranges:

standard 25 metre range

25 metre and 100 metre open ranges

classification range

static mechanical range

MTR

field firing ranges including small arms, high explosive, anti-armour and indirect fire weapons

WTSS

This unit encompasses the safe and efficient planning and conducting of range practices as the Officer in Charge (OIC). Conducting, in this instance, also includes effective supervision of safety, and the preparation and finalisation of range practice using weapons and ammunition for which the OIC is qualified to operate.

This unit applies to Defence personnel required to perform the duties of OIC for the conduct of range practices within a Defence working environment.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would typically work independently under indirect supervision. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks, in a range of contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

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

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.

ELEMENTS	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Prepare for a range practice	1.1 Identify and apply relevant range regulations. 1.2 Identify and employ relevant control measures. 1.3 Complete administrative requirements. 1.4 Conduct safety trace when required.
2. Conduct a range practice	2.1 Supervise and maintain safety. 2.2 Identify and apply safety trace data. 2.3 Conduct range practice in accordance with current publications and the relevant range instruction.
3. Finalise a range practice	3.1 Refurbish ranges. 3.2 Complete post range practice administration.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

applying weapon and ammunition safety

operating relevant weapons and ammunition

conducting the appropriate range practice

adhering to orders and instructions

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

characteristics, technical capabilities, effects, employment and limitations of relevant weapons, simulation and ammunition

operational safety

risk identification and management

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
