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!

PUADEFSO006A - Optimise and monitor sensor display

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Set up sensor display

  1. Access to appropriate function is gained in accordance with the shift supervisor tasking and organisational policies and procedures
  2. Tactical display is set up in accordance with required function and shift supervisor tasking
  3. Tactical information appropriate to required function is accessed and displayed in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
  4. Operational data from other sources are used to set up sensor display and to build tactical picture

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, 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:

apply settings to sensor display in accordance with the requirements of the intended function

optimise and monitor a sensor display

accurately recognise and respond to sensor degradation.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

sensor display equipment typically used in a functioning operations room

organisational policies and procedures relevant to a functioning operations room.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

accurately analyse and validate tactical information

accurately identify and respond to degradation in sensor display

apply a range of problem solving strategies to work outcomes

clearly articulate information and advice

consistently evaluate and monitor own performance

effectively communicate with operations room personnel and adequately receive and interpret instructions

manage own tasks within timeframes

operate sensor display settings accurately based on tasking and required function

Required Knowledge

IFF system operation and settings

operational data relevant to required function

organisational policies and procedures

procedure for sensor index error checks

requirements of a tactical display over the range of functions

roles and responsibilities of other sensor operators

selection criteria for sensor range scale

sensor alarms and meaning

tactical information relevant to required function

theory of radar

theory of sonar

types of sensor degradation and effect on sensor
