Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
interpret relevant rules, regulations and competition requirements to roster officials according to NSO requirements
address issues affecting rostering of officials
identify typical formats for rosters and key information to be included
prepare rosters that meet budgets and provide a level of staffing sufficient to ensure the delivery of sport competitions
prepare rosters for multiple periods to meet the staffing requirements of more than one sporting competition or event.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
demonstration of skills in a fully operational situation including a team of officials for whom rosters can be developed
use of industry-current rostering technology and systems.
Assessment must also ensure access to:
a sport-specific competition setting or environment
current NSO rules and regulations and best practice principles for the allocation of officials
project or work activities that allow the individual to prepare rosters for a sport competition or event and to evaluate their cost efficiency and operational effectiveness against nominated standards
project or work activities conducted over an operationally realistic period of time so that the planning, evaluation and monitoring aspects of rostering staff can be assessed.
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:
evaluation of the staffing costs and service levels in a sporting competition or at an event for which the individual has prepared rosters
case studies to develop rosters for typical official working periods and different operational situations
oral or written questions to assess knowledge of specific factors affecting the design of rosters
review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the individual.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
