Issue Date: March 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency DEFEO814A - Provide survey data for proof and experimental firing
Description This unit covers the competency required to conduct surveys and to produce survey data in support of proof and experimental firings.This survey can be conducted by two people. One person being the observer and the other recording data. This unit of competency covers both roles.This unit does not cover the planning for the conduct of the survey. Normally survey requirements would be a component of the testing plan. If planning is required, it is covered in DEFEO602C Plan explosive ordnance trials.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies in a physical science or engineering environment where product undergoes testing to establish that it meets established standards and/or specifications. The production of survey data is crucial in the setting up and validation of a number of these proof tests.This unit was developed for survey 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.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

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

provide the survey data required to conduct proof firings

maintain the survey data and documentation

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time in a variety of environments and tests/trials.

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 required to:

appropriate survey equipment

proof testing range

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

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.
