Unit of Competency DEFSIM008 - Work effectively with simulator systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to analyse and apply a knowledge of simulator systems that is required to support a variety of applications including maintenance, fault finding, repair, and testing of simulators. This includes accessing and analysing relevant simulator systems information and implementing recommendations specific to simulator systems. In the context of this unit, simulators are used to replicate land, air, sea and undersea systems to facilitate training and development.The application of simulator systems knowledge is specific to a variety of component processes in simulator operations, including simulator systems maintenance and support to simulator operations.This unit was developed in a Defence environment but may be relevant to others who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently, or as part of a team, with minimal supervision, while performing complex tasks, including complex problem solving, in a limited range of contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.

2.2 Assess, review and record effectiveness of the recommendations.

2.3 Adjust and document recommendations for future application.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

applying simulator systems knowledge relevant to work being performed

following logical, complex analysis techniques

using appropriate information technology and software

identifying, reviewing and analysing information relevant to simulator systems

interpreting organisation role relevant to simulator systems

conducting research

negotiating and communicating effectively with key stakeholders

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.
