Context of assessment

continued

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 and assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to carry out and report on basic engineering calculations on a small vessel andor

b

carry out and report on basic calculations while in charge of a small 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.
