Unit of Competency MEA133 - Communicate aviation technical and maintenance management knowledge
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency requires application of written and oral communication skills relating to aviation technical and maintenance management knowledge. Applications include the evaluation of written technical communication and the delivery of verbal briefings during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of the Aeroskills Diploma and Advanced Diploma training pathways. The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations that would be encountered in planning, preparing aids and delivering briefings relating to aviation maintenance activities .

The candidate must have access to all equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. The preferred method is the records in the Maintenance Management Competency Log. Where the individual does not have a Competency Log evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.

Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
