Resource implications
Physical resources - assessment of this unit of competency requires access to
recreation equipment
equipment repair and maintenance resources
storage areas

Human resources - assessment of this unit of competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines. That is, assessors (or persons within the assessment team) must
be competent in this unit but preferably be competent in the unit at the level above
be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area
have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) as specified in Standard 7.3 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations
Consistency in performance
Due to issues such as variations in the types of damage or deterioration of equipment, this unit of competency must be assessed over a period of time, maintaining a variety of equipment, in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to the learner's work environment
Context for assessment
This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of maintaining equipment for a real sport or recreation activity. For valid and reliable assessment the sport or recreation activity should closely replicate the work environment. The environment should be safe with the hazards, circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace
Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes
Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a "period of time" and/or in a "number of locations", any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons
