Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the DEF Defence Training Package Release 4.0. |
Application
This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to conduct fault finding and repairs to the simulator sound systems. This may include 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, audio switching and control systems and audio computers. 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. |
