Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and review tree management policy and relates to the formulation of strategic policy and subsequent policy determinations.This unit applies to individuals with broad theoretical and technical knowledge of a specific area or a broad field of work and learning and cognitive, technical and communication skills to demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility in undertaking complex work within broad parameters to provide specialist advice and functions.The role involves the self-directed application of specialised knowledge in arboriculture with substantial depth in areas such as tree management, tree policy and statutes and local planning laws.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. It is an industry requirement for competency in this unit that assessment includes construction of a database that must contain a minimum of twenty (20) trees that are the preferred and desired species highly suitable for local use, and incorporating intensive tree profiles detailing attributes of the location, taxonomic characteristics, edaphic and environmental preferences and limitations of the tree. The database must include local, indigenous and exotic tree species. Assessment must be demonstrated consistently over time in a suitable range of contexts and have a productivity-based outcome. No single assessment event or report is sufficient to achieve competency in this unit. Assessment may be conducted in a simulated or real work environment, however determination of competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. The mandatory equipment and materials used to gather evidence for assessment include: equipment: computer word processing software statistical software internet connection materials: tree policy documentation tree profile and benefits form database of local, indigenous and exotic tree species Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs in the assessment of arboriculture units of competency.
