Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving other competencies relevant to the job function.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:

recognising the needs and desires of people with disabilities to engage fully in all aspects of society, and their right to do so

interpreting accurately the impacts of the full range of disabilities and the limitations that each disability places on the individual's ability to access the environment

interpreting accurately how the full range of environmental barriers impact on any of the impairments that people with disabilities might have

applying relevant legislation regarding conducting tender processes for building work

preparing comprehensive tender documentation for accessible building work that complies with legislative requirements and reflects accurately the requirements of the project plans and specifications

coordinating effectively the distribution of the tender documents and the receipt and assessment of tender submissions

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Resource implications for assessment include:

a registered provider of assessment services

competency standards

assessment materials and tools

suitable assessment venue/equipment

workplace documentation

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.
