Apply knowledge of test and evaluation processes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit was developed for work within Defence where knowledge of test and evaluation processes is necessary but where the worker is not a test and evaluation practitioner.

Applying knowledge of test and evaluation processes is specific to work undertaken by Defence personnel and may be included within a variety of areas such as management, acquisitions, audits, inspections, policy implementation, technical manual development, platform integration, configuration, staff processes, transport and inter-operability. This unit includes the specific knowledge of test and evaluation processes required to support these areas.

Typically these workers must work independently or as part of a team under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

This unit covers the competency required to analyse and apply knowledge of test and evaluation processes.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
