The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed by demonstration of the landfill rehabilitation plans developed.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.
In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to:
determine features required for a landfill rehabilitation plan, incorporating client requirements and OHS requirements
conduct life cycle assessment
apply landfill analytical methods, incorporating environmental regulations
present developed landfill rehabilitation plan.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context. It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards’ requirements.
Resource implications for assessment include:
work plans and approved specifications
forms and procedures manuals.
Method of assessment
Landfill rehabilitation planning must comply with industry expectations in the particular client environment. If the environment is narrowly defined or is not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies to assess competency in landfill rehabilitation planning.
Assessment methods must:
satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package
include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application
reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles
confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.
Guidance information for assessment
Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.
Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.
This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units of competency relevant to the job function, for example:
CPPCMN4002B Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices
CPPWMT4030A Determine waste management services
CPPWMT4056A Implement landfill rehabilitation plans
CPPWMT5004A Develop waste management strategies
CPPWMT5036A Develop waste management plans.
