Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to inspect transport conveyances and boarding devices in order to assess their accessibility for people with disabilities. The assessment process involves interpreting and implementing the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), DDA Transport Standards, required Australian standards, and other applicable state and territory legislation where it exists. It involves communicating with transport providers and operators regarding access compliance requirements.The unit supports access audits conducted for the purposes of upgrading existing transport conveyances and boarding devices or for providing recommendations on new transport conveyances. It applies to access consultants working alone or as a member of a team to complete transport conveyance and boarding device access audits on behalf of clients, who may be transport conveyance providers, transport conveyance operators, state and territory transport authorities, or local government representatives.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
