Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse test data.It includes performing scientific calculations, analysing trends and relationships in data and determining variation and/or uncertainty in data distributions. It also includes checking for aberrant results and maintaining results.This unit was developed for Defence test and evaluation workers but is applicable to any individuals who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team, under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform complex tasks in a range of contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Notes
