Unit of Competency MARM003 - Identify factors that affect a commercial vessel's fitness for purpose
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify the construction and design characteristics that contribute to the watertight integrity and fitness for purpose of a commercial vessel.This unit applies to people who assist marine surveyors or who undertake administration duties in the maritime industry and/or marine surveying sector.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.

Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements.

Assessment must satisfy the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) standards.

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.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations or where these are not available, in simulated workplace operational situations or an industry-approved marine operations site that replicates workplace conditions where factors that affect fitness for purpose of a commercial vessel can be identified.

Resources for assessment include access to:

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation including that impacts on work activities

tools, equipment, material and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.

Performance should be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
