Deliver scope
This module contains two components related to ensuring a learner achieves the required level of competency. This being specified in the National Training Package qualification Certificate III in Electrotechnology Systems Electrician, and related units of competence or equivalent, and requirements of the electrical regulator and the industry for the issuance of an electrical licence. The two components are:

a) assessment of technical knowledge and skills critical to safety of work associated with electrical installations (with final confirmation of these in NUE 505 A)
b) guidance to ensure the maximum efficacy in competency development plan of the learner (gathering evidence towards development of the learner’s competence)

Delivery strategies
A. Assessment component: refer to item 6 Assessment Strategies
B. Guidance component: Periodically and no less than three times through the period of the learner's competency development, evaluate evidence of the learner's development towards competency against the “Industry Approved Competency Development Plan”. In doing so the following shall apply:

- Review and monitor progress towards achieving the industry competency profile in terms of :
a) work performance associated with day to day activities in the workplace
b) completing part of the necessary underpinning knowledge and skills detailed in any relevant national ITAB modulemap. For instance the NUEITAB’s National Electrotechnology Module Map
- Provide formative feedback to the learner.
- Identify areas requiring further attention with respect to developing towards the industry profile
- Where area(s) requiring further attention are identified strategies for improvement, including remedial measures are to be negotiated between the learner and RTO, and where appropriate the employer.
- Update the learner's competency development plan, established against the approved industry profile at the commencement of training.
- The competency development plan is revised and the relevant parties retain copies.
- The training plan is predicated on a nominal period of 7,300 hours to develop all the necessary competencies including skills critical to personal and public safety.

Assessment scope
Assessment shall reflect an holistic approach to ensure all the critical aspects of electrical work as specified in learning outcomes one to three are clearly demonstrated and achieved. To assist in ensuring validity, reliability and fairness assessment instruments should include practical exercises, assignments and written and oral tests.

Conditions of assessment
Assessment shall be under supervision of a qualified assessor and will take place in a simulated or appropriate workplace environment.

Event structure of assessment
The assessment event shall be structured to evaluate evidence from integrated practical, written and oral components over the period of competency development plan and be based on real world scenarios in a simulated or appropriate workplace environment. Evidence from a variety of assessment item types/approaches shall be included in the overall evaluation.

Setting and evaluation
1. The assessment for competency development may be set and evaluated by the RTO, and be in accordance with the industry approved competency development plan/training model. However, where an Electrical licensed assessment outcome is also required the assessment shall take into account point 2 below by integrating into the assessment requirements the criteria set by the Electrical Regulator and Industry.

2. The assessment for electrical licensing shall be set and be evaluated independent from the RTO as per NUE 505A Electrical Systems Safety.

Conducting assessment
The evaluation of evidence and decisions shall be undertaken by qualified assessor(s) independent of those who assist in the delivery of a learner's competency development and in accordance with requirements of the electrical regulator and industry.
