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. Implement the irrigation system management plan | 1.1 Confirm performance measures for the irrigation system management plan. 1.2 Access and interpret historic system information to inform the implementation process. 1.3 Inform stakeholders about the system management plan. 1.4 Develop management plan components and activities for implementation. 1.5 Develop the implementation plan. 1.6 Determine responsibilities and timelines for the implementation activities. |
2. Monitor and evaluate the operation and maintenance of the irrigation system | 2.1 Plan, perform and report on monitoring and testing procedures to identify deviations of planned water system quantity, quality, release and flow rates. 2.2 Evaluate delivery of water to customers (timeliness, volume and flow rates) and identify, investigate and report deviations from agreed service. 2.3 Evaluate maintenance budgets, activity programs and output target measures. 2.4 Identify, investigate and report deviations from targets. 2.5 Identify and document links between operational problems and maintenance activities. |
3. Report on the implementation of the irrigation system management plan | 3.1 Identify, investigate and report deviations of planned water usage, quality and management plan procedures. 3.2 Review objectives of the management and implementation plans. 3.3 Make recommendations for changes to plan objectives and operational and maintenance procedures. |
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.
performing the activities associated with the implementation and management of the operation and maintenance of irrigation delivery systems
calculating timelines for implementation activities
interpreting numerical data to control and measure delivery of water to customers
applying ratios to evaluate maintenance budgets, activity programs and output targets
gathering, interpreting and synthesising information to underpin the implementation of the irrigation management plan, including:
historical data
current legislation and standards
stakeholder views
the results of irrigation system testing and monitoring
planning and implementing testing processes and programs
monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of the irrigation system management plan
providing advice and communicating with stakeholders and users
preparing reports and recommendations for future action
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.
• relevant legislation, policies and procedures
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.
