|
Resource implications |
Physical resources - assessment of this unit of competency requires access to a real work environment with maintenance requirements a comprehensive range of general equipment and supplies associated resources and information on equipment, safety regulations etc Human resources - assessment of this unit of competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines. That is, assessors (or persons within the assessment team) must be competent in this unit but preferably be competent in the unit at the level above be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) as specified in Standard 7.3 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations |
|
Consistency in performance |
Due to issues such as variations to the demands of a work environment, this unit of competency must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to developing and implementing a facility maintenance schedule |
|
Context for assessment |
For valid and reliable assessment this unit of competency must be assessed in the context of a real work environment in sport, outdoor recreation or community recreation sectors Assessment of this unit of competency will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a "period of time" and/or in a "number of locations", any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons |
