Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Assessment must confirm the ability to:
Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time and in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts. |
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions which accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements. Evidence should be gathered through observation of the practical component and targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to:
