Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop, monitor and review behavioural management strategies for animals, which incorporate short-term and long-term objectives and require the involvement and cooperation of a range of staff within the facility or institution.This unit applies to senior or more experienced keepers with extensive zoo keeping or related experience who supervise others and provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
