EVIDENCE GUIDE
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 on its own or in combination with other units of competency relevant to the job function.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The critical requirements for this unit of competency as a whole are listed below. Assessment must confirm one's ability to:
establish appropriate movement and security controls
check movement permits for validity
check for unauthorised movement of personnel, livestock, plant materials and/or products that have been in contact with infectious or infested material
deal with unauthorised movements in line with required standards and protocols.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment for this unit of competency is to be largely practical in nature and will most appropriately be assessed in a practical training activity or emergency disease outbreak or a plant pest incursion.
Method of assessment
For valid assessment, one must have opportunities to participate in exercises, case studies and other real and simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to carry out movement and security procedures.
Guidance information for assessment
To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.
The skills and knowledge required to carry out movement and security procedures must be transferable to a range of work environments and contexts, including the ability to deal with unplanned events.
