Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to work as a team member quickly and accurately respond to directions Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the individual is assessed across a wide variety of situations within the workplace
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated workplace environment Specific resources for assessment Access is required to equipment part of ship appropriate to target designation operations
Method of assessment	In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision andor mentoring which is typically recorded in a competency workbook Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industryapproved simulated work environment Forms of assessment that are typically used include direct observation interviewing the candidate journals and workplace documentation third party reports from supervisors written or oral questions
