Evidence of Performance
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include: |
applying duties and responsibilities of competency development plan applying opportunities for gaining the range of workplace experience/s applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures dealing with unplanned situations in accordance with relevant industry standards and workplace procedures dealing with unplanned situations with the approval of relevant person/s following relevant industry standards and workplace procedures following work instructions and seeking clarification identifying competency development plan requirements progressing with activities monitored against competency development plan reporting competency development activities in accordance with workplace procedures reviewing progress of the competency development activities in accordance with workplace procedures. |
Evidence of Knowledge
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of: |
monitoring and reporting requirements of competency development plan obligations and expectations of competency development plan problem-solving techniques relevant components of a competency development plan relevant industry standards and workplace procedures relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements relevant workplace documentation, including: competency development activities report development plan relevant workplace instructions, policies and procedures. |
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. 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. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to participating in, developing and following a personal competency development plan applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals. |
