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 in at least two different contexts throughout the life of a treatment project, or during components of a number of projects, one of which may be simulated. |
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Context of assessment Competency should be assessed planning and implementing an agreed treatment measure in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. Specific resources for assessment For the demonstration of competence in this unit it will be necessary to participate in a real-world project. Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments, project reports, debriefings and action learning projects in real or simulated environments. |
|
Guidance information for assessment |
This unit contains many transferable skills, such as communication, consultation, research and analysis skills that can be applied in the emergency risk management context. Assessors should use formative assessment strategies in a simulated environment to contextualise underpinning knowledge. Summative assessment requires application of the unit in a real-world project, often in an action-learning context. This unit may be assessed with other units that address project management or other parts of the emergency risk management process. |
