Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct new construction, alteration, change of class or use surveys on domestic commercial vessels according to Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law. It includes survey planning, carrying out a survey and providing a survey report.This unit applies to people working in the maritime industry as a domestic commercial vessel marine surveyor and may form part of accreditation requirements for surveyors under Australian legislation.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 a range of surveys on domestic commercial vessels can be conducted.

Resources for assessment include access to:

relevant documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry to conduct surveys on domestic commercial vessels.

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