clearly, concisely and coherently conveying technical information to an individual client for their specific use
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
observation of training on TWO separate occasions combined with discussion with the trainer about what has been done and their assessment of trainee's progress
evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
