The context of assessment





The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated
workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements
and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will
usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or SADARA Standards requirements
Methods of assessment







Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Building and
Construction industry's Plumbing and Services Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with
application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning
knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies
Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply
the essential underpinning knowledge
Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and
require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be
satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other
circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency,
including those listed above
Specific resource requirements for this unit

The following resources should be made available:
o workplace location or simulated workplace
o tools and equipment appropriate to the fabrication and installation process
o calculators or equivalent
o support materials appropriate to the activity
o specifications in the form of a job or work order
