Method of Assessment  
Competency will be assessed through direct observation and questions related to underpinning  
knowledge.  
Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently, based upon project work.  
Competency will be assessed while work is being done under general guidance, checking at  
various stages of the process and at the completion of the activity against the performance  
criteria and specifications.

Context of Assessment  
Competency will be assessed in the normal or simulated workplace environment and in  
accordance with safe work procedures.  
Assessment will include those aspects that are consistent with the work environment of this unit.  
Competency will be assessed while work is undertaken autono mously, within a team  
environment.  
Assessment may be intermittent checking at various stages of the job application with the  
performance criteria, or may be at the completion of the process.  
Guidelines will be in line with statutory requirements, enterprise specific policies and procedures  
and codes of practice.  
Three levels of performance denote level of competency required to perform a task. These levels  
do not relate to the NCTVET Qualifications Framework. They relate to the seven areas of generic  
competency that underpin effective workplace practices.

•
•
observation  
examination of assessee’s portfolio/CV  
supporting statement from section coordinator, supervisor or equivalent  
examples of related activities to which applicant has contributed, or worked on  
training courses on material related to range of variables and or knowledge requirement  
examples of authenticated assessments and/or assignments from formal education courses  
simulation  
Tasks involved will be completed within reasonable timeframes relating to typical workplace  
activities.  
(6)
