Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to lead and develop a small engineering team.It includes organising the engine room for departure, managing the daily engine room routine, managing an engineering team, managing engineering procedures in port and managing engineering emergencies.This unit applies to people working in the maritime industry in the capacity of:Chief Engineer on vessels with inboard engines less than 1500 kW within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ)Second Engineer on vessels with inboard engines less than 3000 kW within the EEZChief or Second Engineer on vessels with outboard engines with unlimited propulsion power within the EEZassistant under the direct supervision of the Chief Engineerworker in the engine room of a vessel less than 80 metres in length with propulsion power less than 3000 kW.Licensing/Regulatory InformationLegislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit. This unit is one of the requirements to obtain Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) certification as a Marine Engine Driver Grade 1 Near Coastal as defined in the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part D.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Practical assessment must occur in a workplace, or realistic simulated workplace, under the normal range of workplace conditions.

Simulations and scenarios may be used where situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely, in particular for situations relating to emergency procedures and adverse weather conditions where assessment would be unsafe, impractical or may lead to environmental damage.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

applicable documentation, such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals

tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry.

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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
