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 |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Inspect drainage systems | 1.1 Schedule and conduct routine inspections of drainage systems. 1.2 Monitor faults and take remedial action. 1.3 Collect and report data on drainage system performance and usage. |
2. Monitor flows | 2.1 Monitor flows entering drains. 2.2 Monitor flows in drains to ensure correct drain operation. 2.3 Complete remedial action. |
3. Control and operate processes | 3.1 Control processes to maintain parameters of operation. 3.2 Identify, address and report problems and operational conditions of the drainage network. 3.3 Integrate processes to improve drainage network performance. 3.4 Compile process records. |
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.
interpreting plans, topographic drawings, charts, service diagrams, service search diagrams, instructions, policies and procedures
monitoring, operating and controlling drainage systems
monitoring fault reports
scheduling and conducting inspections
collecting performance and usage data
inspecting and adjusting flow regulating systems
monitoring discharge flows
controlling and integrating processes
identifying and addressing problems
completing required documentation
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.
inspection of drainage systems
coordination processes
system layout and processes
environmental aspects of drainage systems
policies and standard operating procedures
relevant utilities and service bodies
risk factors and potential hazards involved in drainage systems
equipment operation, capacity and limitations
effects of weather and conditions on operation of drainage systems
pipes and fittings
pumping and valving systems
gravity systems
control systems
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.
