The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competence for this unit This is an integral part of the assessment of competence and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statements

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of processes involved in establishing the need for facilities and in planning and developing plans for facilities

Assessment of performance should be over a period of time covering one category of facility development and all relevant associated categories from the remaining Range Statements that are applicable in the learners environment

In particular assessment must confirm the ability to

determine user group needs and trends within the industry

negotiate design briefs

develop a tender brief

cost a tender brief

liaise with all relevant stakeholders

establish budgets for the facility development

respond to overspends and over runs

check completed work

Resource implications

Physical resources assessment of this competency requires access to

a work environment requiring facility development

Human resources assessment of this unit of 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 dealing with the complexity of planning a facility this unit of competency must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to establishing the need and requirements for facility development and planning and facilitating that development

Context for assessment

This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of a sport or recreation facility For valid and reliable assessment the sport or recreation facility should closely replicate those found in the work environment The facility should be safe with the hazards circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace

Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include 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 persons
