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 coordinate the use and routine maintenance of deck machinery on a small vessel andor

b

coordinate the use and routine maintenance of deck machinery on an operational 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.
