Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to worksite operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge and the range statement of this unit and include evidence of the following:
knowledge of the requirements, procedures and instructions for establishment and maintenance of mine services systems
implementation of procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient establishment and maintenance of mine services systems
the identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes
the identification of viable options and the selection of methods for the establishment and maintenance of mine services systems that best meet the required outcomes
working with others to establish and maintain mine services systems
consistent successful establishment and maintenance of mine services systems
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit must be assessed in the context of the work environment. Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment of this competency requires typical resources normally used in a resources and infrastructure sector environment. Selection and use of resources for particular worksites may differ due to the site circumstances.
The assessment environment should not disadvantage the participant. For example, language, literacy and numeracy demands of assessment should not be greater than those required on the job.
Customisation of assessment and delivery environment should sensitively accommodate cultural diversity.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non English speaking background may have second language issues.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.
Method of assessment
This unit may be assessed in a holistic way with other units of competency. The assessment strategy for this unit must verify required knowledge and skill and practical application using more than one of the following assessment methods:
written and/or oral assessment of the candidate's required knowledge to apply in undertaking the establishment and maintenance of mine services systems
observed, documented and/or first hand testimonial evidence of the candidate's:
implementation of appropriate requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient achievement of required outcomes
identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes
identification of viable options and the selection of methods for the establishment and maintenance of mine services systems that best meet the required outcomes
consistent achievement of required outcomes
first hand testimonial evidence of the candidate's:
working with others to undertake and complete the establishment and maintenance of mine services systems
provision of clear and timely support and advice on the establishment and maintenance of mine services systems
Guidance information for assessment
