Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to research and analyse complex and highly specialised information relating to access and use requirements for people with diverse disabilities in order to build a significant knowledge base for application to access consulting services. It includes developing an in-depth understanding of the range and nature of variations in people’s abilities and disabilities, implications for the provision of access to and use of the built environment, and the extent and limitations of regulatory compliance requirements.

This unit is for experienced access consultants who apply broad and coherent theoretical and technical knowledge and highly specialised skills, and deal with sometimes complex and unpredictable contingencies in the provision of access consulting services.
