Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to review, coordinate and optimise chemical addition processes and to evaluate and report on system performance and process quality control.This unit applies to those working as technical staff with a responsibility for optimising chemical addition processes in water, wastewater and stormwater treatment plants and processes. The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those relating to manufacturer and plant designer specifications, dosing pump capacity and calibration chart. Those undertaking this unit would work as single operator or as part of a team with some responsibility for team coordination and supervision, depending on the size of the treatment plant. They would perform complex tasks within a familiar context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Consideration must be given to holistic assessment for this unit. Refer to advice in the companion volumes. Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations. Some components of this unit require assessment in a workplace environment therefore the unit is not suitable for fully external or electronic based assessment. Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. |
