Evidence Required
A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment
Where the assessee does not currently possess evidence of competency in MSAOPS401A Trial new process or product, it may be co-assessed with this unit.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
It is preferred that assessment takes place on industrial equipment in a worklike environment
Competence in this unit may be assessed
on a processing plant allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions
by using a suitable simulation andor a range of case studiesscenarios
through a combination of these techniques
