Critical aspects of evidence

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

understanding the range of legislative and administrative issues affecting the industry sector in which the person is employed

the ability to apply the knowledge to the context in which the project or business is operating and ensure compliance

the ability to communicate information accurately to relevant individuals and groups

Method and context of assessment

Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of these. However, assessment of this unit would most effectively be undertaken on the job due to the specific workplace environment requirements. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

case studies

work samples or simulated workplace activities

oral questioning/interview

projects/reports/logbooks

third party reports and authenticated prior achievements

portfolios of evidence

Assessment must take place over a period of time in order to determine competence in the ongoing implementation and monitoring aspects of this unit.

Resource requirements
