Context of assessment

a

Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations

b

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation

As a minimum assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate writtenoral examinations and

Appropriate practical assessment must occur

i

at the registered training organisation andor

ii

on an appropriate working or training vessel

Specific resources required for assessment

Access is required to opportunities to

a

participate in a range of exercises case studies and other simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to recognise and correct deteriorated fittings and machinery and carry out basic maintenance to minimise corrosion and deterioration of fittings pipework and machinery on a small vessel andor

b

carry out checks and basic maintenance on fittings and machinery on a small operational commercial or training vessel

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
