Elements of Competency	Performance Criteria
Element: Prepare for work.	Applicable provisions of Australian standards, and legislative, manufacturer and enterprise requirements are identified and followed. Work instructions are obtained, reviewed and confirmed as required with relevant persons. Inspection, service and/or repair requirements of aquatic facility plant and equipment are confirmed in line with enterprise procedures. Aquatic facility plant and equipment to be inspected, serviced or repaired are identified and confirmed in line with enterprise requirements. Tools, materials and equipment needed to carry out work are selected and checked for correct operation and safety. Potential and existing risks and hazards in the work area are identified and controlled in line with work health and safety (WHS) and enterprise requirements. Sustainability principles are applied to work preparation and application in line with enterprise requirements.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment	This unit of competency could be assessed by inspecting aquatic plant, equipment and components; and applying theoretical knowledge and advanced fault diagnostic skills to identify and repair routine and complex faults in line with regulatory requirements. This includes faults that may not be covered fully by maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	A person should demonstrate the ability to: prepare for work inspect aquatic facility plant and equipment assess risks associated with inspection, repair and servicing activities service aquatic facility plant and equipment troubleshoot routine and complex faults in aquatic facility plant and equipment complete inspection, service and repair activities.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context and is to comply with relevant regulatory and Australian Standards’ requirements. Resource implications for assessment include: relevant codes, standards and government regulations a technical reference library with current publications on aquatic facility plant and equipment: operating principles components faults and troubleshooting.
Method of assessment	Assessment methods must: satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the CPP07 Property Services Training Package include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments. This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.
Guidance information for assessment	Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.
