The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, , the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. |
1 | Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: |
a | Operate propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment |
b | Monitor and evaluate the performance of vessel's propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment |
c | Exercise required safety and hazard control procedures when operating the propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment of the vessel |
d | Monitor and check the operation of safety and fire detection/suppression equipment |
e | Identify typical problems when controlling shipboard propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment, and take appropriate action |
f | Communicate effectively with others when controlling propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment |
| |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance | a | Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts |
b | Consistently applies underpinning knowledge and skills when: |
| 1 | carrying out propulsion and engineering control operations |
| 2 | identifying and evaluating problems with propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment and determining appropriate courses of action |
| 3 | applying safety precautions relevant to operation of propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment |
| 4 | assessing operational capability and performance of propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment |
c | Shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures, including: |
| 1 | relevant maritime regulations |
| 2 | OH&S regulations and hazard prevention policies and procedures |
| 3 | job procedures and work instructions |
| 4 | relevant manufacturer's guidelines, including instructions on equipment performance, capability and limitations |
| 5 | following on-board housekeeping processes |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance (continued) | | 6 | waste, pollution and recycling management processes and systems |
d | Action is taken promptly to report accidents and incidents |
e | Work is completed systematically with required attention to detail |
f | Recognises and adapts appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions among crew and others |
3 | Context of assessment | a | Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations |
b | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation: |
| 1 | As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral examinations, and |
| 2 | Appropriate practical assessment must occur: |
| | i | at the registered training organisation; and/or |
| | ii | on an appropriate working or training vessel |
| | |
4 | Specificresourcesrequired for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | participate in a range of exercises, case studies and other simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to operate and monitor the performance of the propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment of a typical vessel up to 80 metres in length over a range of representative operational situations; and/or |
b | operate a suitable integrated vessel simulator over an appropriate range of simulated propulsion management situations; and/or |
c | manage the propulsion unit, ancillary power units and equipment on a vessel up to 80 metres in length on a coastal voyage |
