This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then a simulated working environment must be used that reflects realistic workplace situations and conditions.
The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
communicate, cooperate and negotiate with stakeholders to achieve integration task
determine task parameters and context, chain of responsibility, WHS, regulatory requirements, risk management and organisational procedures
confirm personal, team and support personnel tasks and responsibilities
evaluate task requirements, principles, techniques, typical applications and software
plan the task
integrate avionic fundamentals to achieve task objectives
solve problems and make decisions using systems thinking and continuous improvement to address contingencies and constraints
report and document results.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
