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

Assessment must confirm the ability to

plan and prepare for licensing

research and examine the required documentation

inspect the facility and potential explosive site to be licensed

draw conclusions and recommendations from these activities

The unit requires the individual to be able to

demonstrate their knowledge of licensing requirements

demonstrate the application of formulae relevant to licensing

prepare licensing documentation for authorisation

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and should be observed in a range of actual or simulated work contexts

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed by observing an individual within the workplace or simulated environment in a role where the licensing of explosive ordnance facilities is required

Evidence should be gathered through questioning relating to required knowledge and the submission of a portfolio of licensing documentation conducted over a range of facilities

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to

explosive ordnance facilities and resources used in the licensing of those facilities

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
