The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

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

scope and plan consultancy service levels for contributing to the design of two different development projects

one premises construction

one transport infrastructure conveyances facilities and systems

exchange and store design documentation following agreed protocols

review design documentation at agreed stages of each project and report on access design issues

propose practical and effective solutions to access issues and develop specifications for selected solutions

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

design briefs policies drawings and other relevant documentation for two projects

one premises construction development project

one transport infrastructure conveyances facilities and systems development project

relevant legislation codes standards and guidelines

relevant design and construction specialists

relevant premises transport infrastructure conveyances facilities and systems development projects and work sites

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
