DEFSIM014 Work effectively with simulator systems

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit in the DEF Defence Training Package Release 4.0.

Application

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to work effectively in the simulator maintenance industry, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements and national operating standards. It includes determining appropriate work roles, contributing to the planning of activities, working with others and following Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE) procedures. This unit addresses simulation non-technical skill requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) related to teamwork duties of simulation personnel and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex simulation operational environments. In the context of this unit, simulators are used to replicate land, air, sea and undersea systems to facilitate training and development. This unit was developed in a Defence environment but may be relevant to others who work in this field. 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.
