Unit of Competency MARM018 - Undertake a periodic statutory survey
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake statutory periodic surveys of vessels.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 periodic statutory survey can be conducted.

Resources for assessment include access to:

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

tools, equipment, material and personal protective equipment currently used in industry and required when undertaking a periodic statutory survey.

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