CUSRAD02A - Conduct research
CUFGEN01A - Develop and apply industry knowledge
CUFGEN02A - Identify industry laws and regulations and apply them to work activities
Critical aspects of evidence
This unit of competence applies to a range of industry sectors. The focus of assessment will depend on the industry sector. Assessment must be customised to meet the needs of the particular sector in which performance is being assessed. Assessment should only address those variable circumstances, listed in the range of variables statements, which apply to the chosen context.
