Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the ability to carry out straightforward aspects of environmental projects, such as researching basic site information and performing routine sampling, monitoring and data management. Personnel may work individually, or as part of a team. They are expected to confirm the project brief/plan with their supervisor, carry out the assigned project activities and maintain progress through to the project’s completion. The unit does not cover procurement of project resources and contract management.This unit of competency is applicable to environmental technicians working in all industry sectors.While no specific licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication, environmental monitoring and management activities are governed by relevant legislation, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements. Local requirements should be checked. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Judgement of competence must be based on holistic assessment of the evidence. Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time, rather than a single assessment event. This unit of competency is to be assessed in the workplace, or a simulated workplace environment. A simulated workplace environment must reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including the environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. 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. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept in each case). Holistic assessment methods include: review of work breakdown structure, work plan and project reports prepared by candidate presentation of project process and deliverables to an appropriate audience feedback from supervisors about the candidate’s ability to follow workplace procedures and complete project activities/deliverables on time and within budget oral and/or written questions to check the candidate’s knowledge of relevant environmental concepts and principles, project management principles and safety requirements for assigned tasks. Access is required to all instruments, equipment, materials, workplace documentation, procedures, and specifications associated with this unit including, but not limited to: physical resources required for work activities, such as maps, GPS, compass and photos; laptop computer/internet/phone; digital camera; monitoring and sampling equipment documentation, including site/project history; user manuals, workplace procedures (e.g. safety and travel); project management tools, checklists and procedures. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with an organisation providing environmental monitoring, management or technology related services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
