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. Monitor water delivery system | 1.1 Perform routine inspections of channel flow rates, regulations and delivery according to demand and organisational and statutory requirements. 1.2 Gather and record system performance data. 1.3 Identify and correct system faults according to plans and service standards. 1.4 Select, fit and use required safety equipment, including personal protective equipment. |
2. Control processes | 2.1 Determine and apply system adjustments required to meet demands. 2.2 Initiate and coordinate system adjustments required for delivery or channel flow rates. 2.3 Integrate processes to improve the delivery network performance. |
3. Analyse data and compile reports | 3.1 Conduct analysis of actual performance against planned system performance using system data and records. 3.2 Compile reports from system performance data. |
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.
solving operational problems
calculating water flows
laying and joining pipes
installing associated fittings and components
interpreting and following plans, instructions and standard operating procedures
using safety equipment and personal protective equipment
using tools and machinery
identifying hazards
monitoring, controlling and coordinating rural water flow, scheduling and delivery
conducting system inspections
gathering and recording system performance data
identifying and correcting system faults
adjusting system to meet demand
integrating processes
analysing system performance
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 rural distribution systems
coordination processes
system layout and processes
environmental aspects of rural distribution systems
policies and standard operating procedures
relevant utilities and service bodies
risk factors and potential hazards
equipment operation, capacity and limitations
effects of weather and conditions on operation of rural water distribution systems
pipes and fittings
pumping and valving systems
gravity and 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.
