Qualification -
Unit of Competency DEFEO805A - Conduct dynamic other calibre proof tests
Description This unit covers the competency required to conduct dynamic other calibre proof tests in the explosive ordnance environment.Explosive ordnance dynamic other calibre proof tests are conducted to ensure weapons systems or other calibre ammunition in service with the Australian Defence Force meets the required standards. The dynamic other calibre proof tests are a common component of explosive ordnance quality assurance and involve a number of personnel both in their planning and implementation.This unit does not cover the planning of dynamic other calibre proof tests, which is covered in DEFEO602C Plan explosive ordnance trials.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit was developed for proof testing specialists working within proof and experimental organisations in Defence but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work as individuals and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to apply dynamic other calibre proof test methodologies and procedures including the coordination of test resources and the documentation of test results.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated other calibre explosive ordnance proof test contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated work environment, in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is require to

facilities and resources used in conducting other calibre proof tests.

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed with the following unit:

DEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance.

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.
