Resource implications

Physical resources assessment of this competency requires access to

anatomy equipment with full sized human skeleton

functional joint models

muscle charts and maps

physiology equipment with heart rate monitors ergometers charts for ratings of perceived exertion

weights gym equipment suitable for muscle size and strength assessment

biomechanics equipment with models of levers

dynamometers and weights gym equipment

Human resources assessment of this competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines That is assessors or persons within the assessment team must

be competent in this unit but preferably be competent in the unit at the level above

be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area

have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework AQTF as specified in Standard of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations

Consistency in performance

Due to issues such as safety requirements and delivery of appropriate techniques this unit of competency must be assessed over a minimum of three different occasions to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and context applicable to the work environment

Context for assessment

This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of fitness in Australia For valid and reliable assessment the fitness activity should closely replicate the work environment The environment should be safe with the hazards circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace

This unit of competence should be assessed through the observation of processes and procedures oral andor written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes

Where performance is not directly observed andor is required to be demonstrated over a period of time andor in a number of locations any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues supervisors clients or other appropriate person
