Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to sell products and services in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements in the transport and logistics industry.It includes preparing for financial transactions, promoting products and selling products and/or services, processing refunds and reconciling financial transactions.Work is performed under some supervision, generally within a team environment. 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.

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace using tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine maintenance situations would be used where appropriate.

An understanding of the attachment methods, connection of hardware, and the need for adjustment or calibration and system operation as they relate to the work must be demonstrated before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.

The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of the Regulators (ADF and CASA) and maintenance stakeholders and must be rigorously observed.

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on at least one (1) component from each of:

pitot/static system components, ASIs, VSIs, air data system components, machmeters, altimeters, including servo and encoding altimeters, angle of attack and stall warning/avoidance systems

turn and slip, DGs, AHs, AHRS components (where applicable to enterprise), remote reading gyro compass system components and direct reading compasses

turbine engine indication systems

transmitter/indicator measuring instrument systems (pressure, temperature, position)

fuel quantity indication and flow systems components

GPWS (may be omitted where not applicable to the enterprise)

FDR (may be omitted where not applicable to the enterprise).

This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Assessment Guidelines).

Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).

Where the unit is to be used for CASA licensing purposes the Assessor must also meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards.

Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEA204 Remove and install basic aircraft instrument system components or MEA275 Maintain basic light aircraft instrument systems and components will have covered a significant amount of the skill and knowledge requirements for this unit plus part of the performance criteria for Elements 1 and 2 and associated range statement items. The Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA204 Remove and install basic aircraft instrument system components or MEA275 Maintain basic light aircraft instrument systems and components may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for this unit in the applicable areas.
