Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by installing and testing a swimming pool or spa cleaning and vacuuming system and components, and applying theoretical knowledge and advanced fault diagnostic skills to identify and repair faults in line with regulatory requirements. This includes faults that are not covered fully by maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person should demonstrate the ability to:

interpret work instructions

select and use appropriate personal protective equipment

install and test swimming pool or spa cleaning and vacuuming systems in line with client and enterprise requirements

service swimming pool or spa cleaning and vacuuming systems

troubleshoot routine and complex cleaning and vacuuming faults in swimming pool or spa systems

complete installation, repair and service activities.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context and is to comply with relevant regulatory and Australian Standards’ requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

relevant codes, standards and government regulations

a technical reference library with current publications on swimming pool and spa cleaning and vacuuming systems:

operating principles

components

faults and troubleshooting.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the CPP07 Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Guidance information for assessment

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to interact in an ethical manner with clients from diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds

decision-making and problem-solving skills that involve applying logical processes, basic principles, system knowledge and experience in conjunction with information in technical manuals to ensure efficient and accurate troubleshooting of faults

literacy skills to read and interpret technical manuals and specifications related to swimming pool and spa cleaning and vacuuming systems

numeracy skills to perform calculations related to troubleshooting faults in swimming pool and spa cleaning and vacuuming systems

research skills to identify and locate technical information on swimming pool and spa cleaning and vacuuming systems

technology skills to use tools and equipment associated with installing, fault finding, repairing and commissioning swimming pool and spa cleaning and vacuuming systems

Required knowledge

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission product safety guidelines

commonwealth, state or territory, and local government legislation and regulations, Australian standards, and codes of practice impacting on the routine maintenance of swimming pools and spas related to:

dangerous goods

electrical and plumbing regulations controlling conduct of electrical and plumbing work

environment protection

environmental health

private and public swimming pools and spas

waste disposal
