Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to demonstrate management skills in a wide range of contexts including management of projects, budgets and resources. This includes the planning, implementation, monitoring and review of project milestones, financial and procurement related activities and oversight of both human and physical resources. This unit applies to police managers as part of their responsibilities in the organisational management within a policing 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 related to project management, financial activities and work health and safety (WHS).Those undertaking this role would demonstrate strong autonomy while performing complex tasks including making strategic decisions and providing leadership to the jurisdiction across a broad range of unpredictable contexts. They would provide advice and influence executive decision making internally and externally. 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.

This unit contains no specific industry-mandated assessment conditions. Guidance on suggested and recommended conditions and methods can be found in the Implementation Guide.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
