Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to record and document Community history.All work is done according to enterprise procedures and cultural protocols.This unit applies to individuals who demonstrate autonomy, judgement and limited responsibility for others in known or changing contexts. Cultural beliefs and practices vary across locations and communities and in some situations non-Aboriginal learners may not be able to access the cultural knowledge or materials required to achieve competency in this unit due to restrictions that are applied to non-Aboriginal people gaining access to cultural knowledge, material or sites. In these situations the Registered Training Organisation will be required to make alternative arrangements for learners that are still consistent with the delivery and assessment requirements for this unit.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
