Overview of assessment requirements
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria. The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated. For example, knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit must be demonstrated.
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Appropriate materials, construction methods and processes are used in the construction and maintenance of concrete structures.
Plans and specifications are adhered to.
Safety on work sites is ensured.
Australian standards, codes of practice and advisory standards are met.
Context of assessment
May be assessed:
on the job
simulated workplace environment
written assignment
short-answer test
oral questioning
observation
or any combination of the above
Relationship to other units(prerequisite or co-requisite units)
To enable holistic assessment this unit may be assessed with other units that form part of the job role.
Method of assessment
The following assessment methods are suggested:
observation of the learner performing a range of workplace tasks over sufficient time to demonstrate handling of a range of contingencies
written and/or oral questioning to assess knowledge and understanding
completion of workplace documentation
third-party reports from experienced practitioners
completion of self-paced learning materials including personal reflection and feedback from trainer, coach or supervisor
Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance
Evidence will need to be gathered over time across a range of variables.
Resource implications
In accordance with a range of variable requirements.
