Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to

produce design policies and briefs for three different projects including

consult with a range of clients to develop an agreed access and use policy for each project

analyse project documentation with reference to project access and use design policy and propose suitable solutions to access and use requirements

present proposed solutions to clients and assist in selection of options

develop and report on access and use solutions including detailed specifications and rationales

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an offsite context and is to comply with regulatory and Australian standards requirements

Resource implications for assessment include access to

documentation for three different projects requiring access and use policies and design briefs

relevant legislation codes standards and guidelines

relevant personnel

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the CPP Property Services Training Package

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the CPP07 Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources and the provision of appropriate assessment support

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed
