Applying knowledge of test and evaluation processes is specific to work undertaken by Defence personnel and may be included within a variety of areas such as management, acquisitions, audits, inspections, policy implementation, technical manual development, platform integration, configuration, staff processes, transport and inter-operability.This unit applies to those working within Defence where knowledge of test and evaluation processes is necessary, but where the worker is not a test and evaluation practitioner.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, under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform complex tasks in a range of contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
