Unit of Competency AHCSPO307 - Handle, package and store commercial quantities of seed
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to store and handle processed seed and all methods of transfer of the product from grading to packaging and storage. Work would normally be carried out under minimal supervision within enterprise requirements and procedures.It applies to individuals who take responsibility for their own work and for the quality of the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection, allocation and use of available resources.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
