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 slip a small vessel up to metres in length and carry out routine maintenance and operations to maintain the watertight integrity of the hull andor

b

carry out procedures on an operational commercial or training vessel up to metres in length to

i

slip and refloat the vessel

ii

undertake routine maintenance

iii

undertake operations to maintain the watertight integrity of the vessel
