This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Required skills

identify structural defects service conditions and other features in a range of different conduits

apply industry inspection reporting code requirements

use data capture software

access and interpret conduit details from asset information systems GIS construction drawings plansmaps house service diagrams

identify inspection reporting requirements in specifications

interpret policies procedures and standards

communicate with clients and operators

Required knowledge

industry inspection reporting code

data capture recording and reporting software

asset information systems

operational plansmaps

design plans for construction

features of conduits used in Australia or operating area for gravity sewer and stormwater construction over the last years

construction and operation of sewerage and stormwater systems

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria Required Skills and Knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

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

The candidate should demonstrate the ability to supervise or manage the inspection and reporting of the condition and features in sewer and stormwater conduits using specialised CCTV equipment Including

identifying and correctly coding all critical defects and or features of conduits observable in inspection video records

recognising poor quality inaccurate and other noncompliant video images and data from conduit inspections

interpreting correctly all relevant asset information on maps plans and drawings of the conduit provided by the asset owneroperatorclient

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Access to the workplace and resources including

documentation that should normally be available in a water industry organisation

relevant codes standards and government regulations

Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice

a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the persons competence over time and in various contexts

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition RCCRPL the evidence provided will need to be authenticated and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated projectbased activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge Questioning will be undertaken in a manner appropriate to the skill levels of the operator any cultural issues that may affect responses to the questions and reflecting the requirements of the competency and the work being performed
