Unit of Competency BSBRKG605B - Determine records requirements to document a function
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to determine the structure, content and context of records to document a business function.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to individuals with understanding and specialist knowledge, with depth in some areas of business or records systems. The application is in relation to individuals with specialist knowledge in business or records systems. These people will generally be senior staff in a specialist recordkeeping environment with responsibility for a team, though they may also be individuals with sole responsibility for recordkeeping systems within larger enterprises.Note that the record requirements for a given function tend to have a longer life span than any system developed to manage its records; this is particularly the case with computerised systems in which specifications tend to change with each cycle of software upgrade.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
