Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Evidence of assessment for installing termite management systems at seven of the ten premises as specified in the performance evidence, must be based on documentation and photographic evidence that has been validated by a workplace supervisor. A workplace supervisor is a person duly authorised to perform and validate the work being undertaken.

Evidence of assessment for installing termite management systems at three of the ten premises as specified in the performance evidence:

must be based on direct observation and assessment of the candidate by an assessor:

physically, or

via audio and visual media provided the candidate is physically accompanied by a person who is licensed or holds the required competency to install termite management systems

must be in a real workplace for a minimum of two premises

may be simulated for one premises provided the simulation allows demonstration of all performance criteria.

Candidates must have access to premises and associated work instructions, plans, drawings, information, materials, tools, equipment and PPE required to achieve the performance evidence including:

NCC, AS/NZS 3660

termite management systems for installation

relevant industry codes of practice including:

A Code of Practice for Prior to Purchase Specialist Timber Pest Inspections

Code of Best Practice for Termite Management

Code of Best Practice for Termite Management During Construction.
