Unit of competency

Modification History

Release

1

This unit was released in DEF Defence Training Package release 1.0 and meets the Standards for Training Packages.

Application

This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to conduct fault finding and repairs to the simulator sound systems. This includes analysing fault reports, identifying and rectifying faults, conducting functional tests and the documentation and certification processes. In the context of this unit, simulators are used to replicate land, air, sea and undersea systems to facilitate training and development.

Simulator sound systems include communication systems, amplifiers, samplers, speakers, microphones and headsets, equalisers, mixers, tone generators, switching and control systems and audio computers.

This unit was developed in a Defence environment but may be relevant to others who work in this field.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently, or as part of a team, with minimal supervision, while performing complex tasks, including complex problem solving, in a limited range of contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

  • undertaking research and analysis related to simulator sound systems
  • following logical, complex fault finding techniques
  • using measuring instruments including audio sound analysers and acoustic calibrators
  • applying simulator sound systems repair methodologies
  • following configuration management processes
  • using tools including signal generators and sound generators
  • using appropriate information technology and software including at least one of:
  • general online diagnostic tools
  • proprietary sound analysis software
  • proprietary simulator management databases
  • proprietary simulator performance test systems
  • identifying, reviewing and analysing information that may impact on the simulator sound systems fault finding
  • conducting simulator sound systems functional testing
  • negotiating and communicating effectively with key stakeholders

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

  • operational capabilities and limitations of the relevant simulator
  • operational capabilities and limitations of the relevant simulator sound systems
  • simulator operating modules comprising the simulator system being worked on
  • fault indicators related to the simulator sound systems being worked on
  • repair methodologies related to the simulator sound systems being worked on
  • legislative and regulatory requirements related to the simulator being worked on
  • organisational policy and procedures related to the relevant simulator sound systems
  • configuration management related to the simulator sound systems being worked on
  • product knowledge related to systems and/or equipment in service

Assessment Conditions

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
