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 | Manoeuvre a vessel of less than 12 metres in length within inshore limits: |
| 1 | in normal and emergency situations and adverse weather conditions |
| 2 | during berthing and unberthing operations |
| 3 | while anchoring or mooring |
| 4 | when beaching and refloating a vessel |
| 5 | while crossing coastal bars |
b | Exercise all required safety and hazard control procedures when manoeuvring a vessel of less than 12 metres in length within inshore limits |
c | Identify manoeuvring problems and take appropriate action |
d | Communicate effectively with others during manoeuvring operations |
| |
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 | completing defined manoeuvring operations |
| 2 | identifying and evaluating manoeuvring problems and determining appropriate courses of action |
| 3 | applying safety precautions relevant to manoeuvring operations |
| 4 | assessing operational capability of vessel and propulsion plant 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 | manufacturer's guidelines relating to the use of propulsion and other on-board equipment, including information on capability and limitations |
d | Action is taken promptly to report accidents and navigational incidents |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance (continued) | 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 |
| |
4Specific resources required for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | manoeuvre a working or training vessel of less than 12 metres in length in an appropriate range of normal and real or simulated emergency inshore situations, including normal and adverse weather conditions; and/or |
b | operate a suitably realistic small vessel simulator over an appropriate range of simulated manoeuvring situations and weather conditions |
