Unit Descriptor

This work will be undertaken as part of a team and under supervision, however it will also require the authority to act independently.
This observation is normally conducted by at least two people; one person will be the observer and one will record the data. This Unit of Competency covers both roles.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
