Resource implications

Physical resources assessment of this competency requires access to

a real or simulated work environment

appropriate documentation and resources normally used in the workplace

an aquatic facility

an effectively simulated work environment or industry approved training centre

Human resources assessment of this competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines That is assessors or persons within the assessment team must

be competent in this unit but preferably be competent in the unit at the level above

be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area

Consistency in performance

Competence in this unit must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to the work environment

Context for assessment

This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of community recreation in Australia For valid and reliable assessment the community recreation activity should closely replicate the work environment The environment should be safe with the hazards circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace

This unit of competence should be assessed through the observation of processes and procedures oral andor written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes

Where performance is not directly observed andor is required to be demonstrated over a period of time andor in a number of locations any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues supervisors clients or other appropriate persons
