This unit was developed for range management and range control work within Defence but may be applicable to work in this field.

Typically, people who or apply this unit would work independently or as part of a team under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.

This unit covers the competency required to supervise contractors working on a training area or a range.

The contracting out of much of the work on training areas and ranges requires the range manager and range control officer to maintain a level of supervision to ensure that the required level of service is maintained.

The focus of the monitoring/supervisory role of range managers and range control officers with contractors and contractor staff is the continued safety and security of training area and range activities, infrastructure and facilities. They do not provide technical supervision or advice, but act as a local point of contact for works contracts and other professional/para professional activities that may be carried out from time to time.

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