Evidence Required
A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
select and apply the appropriate test methods for the job and correctly interpret the test results
identify and take appropriate action on problems and potential problems
Consistent performance should be demonstrated For example look to see that
tests are performed to procedures at all times
all safety procedures are always followed
Competence in this unit may be assessed
by direct observation using appropriate testing equipment
in a situation allowing for the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems
by using a suitable simulation andor a range of case studiesscenarios
through a combination of these techniques
