The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm the ability to: adhere to relevant compliance requirements apply knowledge of the regulatory system to assist in work and to guide problem solving. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time and should be observed in a range of actual or simulated work contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace environment. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to: computer and relevant software legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to safety case processes plans workplace documentation. |
Method of assessment | In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook. Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment. Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include: direct observation interviewing the candidate journals and workplace documentation third party reports from supervisors written or oral questions. |
The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. | |
