Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to collect data using a range of discharge measuring methods and equipment, to measure and calculate readings and to interpret and report data for a range of clients and stakeholders.This unit applies to hydrographers employed by the water industry and water operators involved in the monitoring of all the elements of the water cycle and their impact on the related environment.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those relating to stream discharge measurement, registration, calibration, safe operation of equipment, identification of hazards, WHS, Bureau of Meteorology, World Meteorological Organisation and Australian Standards.Those undertaking this unit would work in small teams, mostly under supervision, while performing complex tasks in a broad range of contexts, that could be unpredictable, including remote, confined spaces, near water and/or at heights.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to 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 an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations. Measuring and processing flows: Assessment must occur on a minimum of two separate occasions, in at least two different locations, using a minimum of two different methods from a broad range of complex methods, with a maximum of one out of two from area velocity methods Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. |
