The Australian Qualifications Framework What is the Australian Qualifications Framework? A brief overview of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) follows. For a full explanation of the AQF see the AQF Implementation Handbook, 3rd Edition 2002. You can download it from the Australian Qualifications Advisory Board (AQFAB) website ( www.aqf.edu.au) or obtain a hard copy by contacting AQFAB on phone 03 9639 1606 or by emailing AQFAB on [email protected] The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications in post-compulsory education and training in Australia. In the vocational education and training (VET) sector it assists national consistency for all trainees, learners, employers and providers by enabling national recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment. Training Package qualifications in the VET sector must comply with the titles and guidelines of the AQF. Endorsed Training Packages provide a unique title for each AQF qualification which must always be reproduced accurately. Qualifications Training Packages can incorporate the following eight AQF qualifications. • Certificate I in ... • Certificate II in ... • Certificate III in ... • Certificate IV in ... • Diploma of ... • Advanced Diploma of ... • Vocational Graduate Certificate of ... • Vocational Graduate Diploma of ...

On completion of the requirements defined in the Training Package, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may issue a nationally recognised AQF qualification. Issuance of AQF qualifications must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and the Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularly Standard 10. Statement of Attainment Where an AQF qualification is partially achieved through the achievement of one or more endorsed units of competency, an RTO may issue a Statement of Attainment. Issuance of Statements of Attainment must comply with the advice provided in the AQF Implementation Handbook and the Australian Quality Training Framework Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularly Standard 10. Under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, RTOs must recognise the achievement of competencies as recorded on a qualification or Statement of Attainment issued by other RTOs. Given this, recognised competencies can progressively build towards a full AQF qualification. AQF Guidelines and Learning Outcomes The AQF Implementation Handbook provides a comprehensive guideline for each AQF qualification. A summary of the learning outcome characteristics and their distinguishing features for each VET related AQF qualification is provided below.

Qualification Pathways

Qualification Titles Each qualification has a title which meets the required format of the Australian Qualifications Framework. The titles have been determined by industry to ensure that they describe meaningful and easily-recognised industry outcomes. These titles must be used by RTOs responsible for issuing qualifications. These are listed in this document and include the words: • Certificate I, II, III, IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma to reflect the level of the qualification • industry descriptor (Tourism), except in the area of Meetings and Events where the word "Tourism" has been removed to reflect the cross-industry focus. • main functional area or specialist stream (eg Tour Wholesaling, Visitor Information Services)

Some examples are: • Certificate III in Tourism (Retail Travel Sales) • Certificate IV in Tourism ( Sales and Marketing ) • Diploma of Tourism (Marketing and Product Development)

The qualifications issued by an RTO must list of all the units of competency achieved, as detailed in the Assessment Guidelines document for this training package (refer to 'Reporting Assessment Outcomes').

Format of Qualifications Each qualification clearly lists all the units of competence required for that particular qualification. This means, for example, that the core units of competence required for a Certificate II in Tourism (Operations) still appear as core units of competence for a Diploma of

Pathways To Qualifications There are many different ways in which a person may gain a national qualification. Existing employees, trainees, apprentices, or pre-employment students may obtain qualifications. The achievement of competence is what matters, not the way in which it is achieved. For example, a young person entering the industry may benefit most from a mixture of on-the-job and off-the-job learning while an experienced worker may choose an assessment-only pathway. Possible pathways are as follows: • Assessment-only pathway • Combination of on-the-job training and institution based training • Institution-based training programs • On-the-job training

The tourism industry favours training which maximises workplace experience. RTOs are strongly encouraged to form close links with industry to increase learning benefits and employment outcomes for pre-employment students.

Customisation of Qualifications Tourism Industry national qualifications may be customised by including elective units of competency from a range of areas, including other relevant training packages. Within the Tourism Training Package, it is possible to achieve a general or a specialist outcome by selecting either units focussed on a particular specialist area or units covering a wider range of skills. The packaging maximises choice, giving individuals and enterprises the opportunity to combine competencies in ways that suit them. For example, the Tourism (Operations) qualifications are specifically designed for those seeking maximum choice and flexibility. A qualification like the Certificate III in Tourism (International Retail Travel Sales), on the other hand, is quite prescriptive in nature to reflect the very specific skills required in that sector of the industry. In addition to Tourism Industry competency standards, the Training Package allows for the selection of relevant units of competence from other industry packages. For example: • Hospitality • Food Processing (wine sector) • Transport • Sport and Recreation • Retail • Business Services • Assessment and Workplace Training

When units are selected from other packages the assessment requirements of those packages must be met.

Volume 4 of 5 Page 12 of 514 © Commonwealth of Australia, 2002 To be reviewed by: 31 January 2005 THT02 Tourism Training Package (Version 2) Date this PDF was generated: 02 July 2007 Qualifications Framework Some units from the National Assessment and Workplace Training Package should be achieved in holistic clusters which will count as one elective within a qualification. This encourages the acquisition of training and assessment skills within qualifications without inhibiting the selection of sufficient industry-specific units. The following clusters apply: • BSZ405A plus BSZ407A plus BSZ408A (= one elective) • BSZ401A plus BSZ402A plus BSZ403 (= one elective).

A full list of standards in both the Tourism and Hospitality Training Packages is found in this volume. Standards from other industries not published in this package may be obtained from the relevant national ITAB, the National Training Information Service website or from Australian Training Products.

Linkages To Other Units and Pre-Requisites The requirement to achieve some competency standards prior to or in conjunction with other units is identified in the evidence guides for individual units of competence . However, these ' pre-requisites' have been kept to a minimum to give RTOs flexibility in packaging the qualifications and to ensure that the requirements for each qualification can be understood easily. Where there is a pre-requisite requirement, this is reflected in the National Qualifications, so that all required units are explicitly stated in the core of each qualification. When RTOs select electives, they should carefully check for any pre-requisite requirements when structuring a course. A table showing pre-requisite requirements for all units is found in Appendix D. In determining how they will implement the training package, RTOs will select appropriate learning strategies, identify the sequence in which units of competence will be achieved and identify any pre-requisites. The evidence guides for each unit also identify other units that are closely linked and may be assessed concurrently. The recommended linkages are provided as a non-prescriptive guide to assessors .

New Apprenticeships The term 'new apprenticeships' incorporates both apprenticeships and traineeships. Trainees or apprentices may be employed full time or part time. Generally, they will undergo a combination of training and assessment at work and at a training institution, or undertake all their training in the workplace. Trainees and apprentices are employed by an enterprise under a training contract which sets out the training to be provided. Alternatively, the employer can be a group training company, which employs trainees and rotates them between a number of employers. Training can be provided at set times (such as one day a week), in negotiated blocks of time or through other arrangements agreed by the enterprise and the training organisation. This industry training package offers traineeships and apprenticeships at any qualification level. While the package does not preclude any of the qualifications being achieved via this pathway, it is unlikely that the industry will offer apprenticeships and traineeships at the higher levels of Diploma and Advanced Diploma in the foreseeable future. All Certificate II and III and IV level qualifications listed in this training framework would be appropriate for apprenticeships and traineeship delivery. A training and assessment pathway combining on and off-the-job components is defined by the industry as the most suitable pathway for those undertaking formal traineeships or apprenticeships. In cases, where training is provided on-the-job followed by assessment off-the-job, it may be appropriate for assessment to be supported by a portfolio of evidence

Supporting evidence of competency from the employer would also be appropriate. Development of apprenticeships and traineeships should take account of the characteristics of the industries at local level. Estimation of the time taken to complete an apprenticeships or traineeship pathway to a qualification should be negotiated at State/Territory level and, more meaningfully, on a case by case basis. Local and enterprise consultation will ensure that apprenticeships and traineeships are linked to local industry needs, to particular job functions for which specific units can be chosen and to specified training and assessment pathways.

Assessment Guidelines

Introduction These Assessment Guidelines provide the endorsed framework for assessment of units of competency in this Training Package. They are designed to ensure that assessment is consistent with the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Assessments against the units of competency in this Training Package must be carried out in accordance with these Assessment Guidelines. Assessment System Overview This section provides an overview of the requirements for assessment when using this Training Package, including a summary of the AQTF requirements; licensing/registration requirements; and assessment pathways. Benchmarks for Assessment Assessment within the National Training Framework is the process of collecting evidence and making judgements about whether competency has been achieved to confirm whether an individual can perform to the standards expected in the workplace, as expressed in the relevant endorsed unit of competency. In the areas of work covered by this Training Package, the endorsed units of competency are the benchmarks for assessment. As such, they provide the basis for nationally recognised Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). Australian Quality Training Framework Assessment Requirements Assessment leading to nationally recognised AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment in the vocational education and training sector must meet the requirements of the AQTF as expressed in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. The Standards for Registered Training Organisations can be downloaded from the DEST website at www.dest.gov.au or can be obtained in hard copy from DEST. The following points summarise the assessment requirements under the AQTF. Registration of Training Organisations Assessment must be conducted by, or on behalf of, an RTO formally registered by a State or Territory Registering/Course Accrediting Body in accordance with the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. The RTO must have the specific units of competency and/or AQF qualifications on its scope of registration. See Section 1 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Quality Training and Assessment Each RTO must have systems in place to plan for and provide quality training and assessment across all its operations. See Standard 1 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Assessor Competency Requirements Each person involved in training, assessment or client service must be competent for the functions they perform. See Standard 7 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations for assessor competency requirements. Standard 7 also specifies the competencies that must be held by trainers.

See Standard 8 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Assessment Strategies Each RTO must identify, negotiate, plan and implement appropriate learning and assessment strategies to meet the needs of each of its clients. See Standard 9 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Mutual Recognition Each RTO must recognise the AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTO. See Standard 5 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Access and Equity and Client Services Each RTO must apply access and equity principles, provide timely and appropriate information, advice and support services that assist clients to identify and achieve desired outcomes. This may include reasonable adjustment in assessment. See Standard 6 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Partnership Arrangements RTOs must have, and comply with, written agreements with each organisation providing training and/or assessment on its behalf. See Standard 1.6 of Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Recording Assessment Outcomes Each RTO must have effective administration and records management procedures in place, and must record AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued. See Standards 4 and 10.2 of the Standards for Registered Training. Issuing AQF Qualifications and Statement of Attainment Each RTO must issue AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment that meet the requirements of the AQF Implementation Handbook and the endorsed Training Packages within the scope of its registration. An AQF qualification is issued once the full requirements for a qualification, as specified in the nationally endorsed Training Package are met. A Statement of Attainment is issued where the individual is assessed as competent against fewer units of competency than required for an AQF qualification. See Standard 10 and Section 2 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

In addition to the above, it is recommended that assessors have comprehensive current knowledge of the industry and the job or role against which performance is being assessed. They should also have appropriate interpersonal and communication skills and knowledge of language, literacy and numeracy issues in the context of assessment. These skills, knowledge and attributes may be developed and demonstrated through: participation in professional development; relevant work experience; participation in professional/industry networks; recent planning and review of assessment activities; participation in assessment validation processes; recent assessment and/or workplace training activities. All assessors who are engaged in assessing against this Training Package must be: • employed by an RTO, or acting under the registration of an RTO (for example, an assessor working in an enterprise that has a partnership arrangement with the RTO). All assessors who are engaged in assessing against this Training Package must be: • employed by an RTO, or • acting under the registration of an RTO (for example, an assessor working in an enterprise that has a partnership arrangement with the RTO).

This Training Package provides a range of options for meeting these assessor requirements. Assessments can be undertaken in a variety of workplace and institutional contexts by individual assessors, partnerships involving assessors and technical experts, and teams of assessors.

Pathways The competencies in this Training Package may be attained in a number of ways including through: • formal or informal education and training • experiences in the workplace • general life experience, and/or • any combination of the above.

Assessment under this Training Package leading to an AQF qualification or Statement of Attainment may follow a learning and assessment pathway, an assessment-only or recognition pathway, or a combination of the two as illustrated in the following diagram.

Volume 4 of 5 Page 19 of 514 © Commonwealth of Australia, 2002 To be reviewed by: 31 January 2005 THT02 Tourism Training Package (Version 2) Date this PDF was generated: 02 July 2007 Assessment Guidelines

Each of these assessment pathways leads to full recognition of competencies held - the critical issue is that the candidate is competent, not how the competency was acquired. Assessment, by any pathway, must comply with the assessment requirements set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. Learning and Assessment Pathways Usually, learning and assessment are integrated, with assessment evidence being collected and feedback provided to the candidate at anytime throughout the learning and assessment process. Learning and assessment pathways may include structured programs in a variety of contexts using a range of strategies to meet different learner needs. Structured learning and assessment programs could be: group-based, work-based, project-based, self-paced, action learning-based; conducted by distance or e-learning; and/or involve practice and experience in the workplace. Learning and assessment pathways to suit New Apprenticeships have a mix of formal structured training and structured workplace experience with formative assessment activities through which candidates can acquire and demonstrate skills and knowledge from the relevant units of competency. Assessment-Only or Recognition of Prior Learning Pathway Competencies already held by individuals can be formally assessed against the units of competency in this Training Package, and should be recognised regardless of how, when or where they were achieved. In an assessment-only or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, the candidate provides current, quality evidence of their competency against the relevant unit of competency. This process may be directed by the candidate and verified by the assessor, such as in the compilation of portfolios; or directed by the assessor, such as through observation of workplace performance and skills application, and oral and/or written assessment. Where the outcomes of this process indicate that the candidate is competent, structured training is not required. The RPL requirements of Standard 8.2 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations must be met. As with all assessment, the assessor must be confident that the evidence indicates that the candidate is currently competent against the endorsed unit of competency. This evidence may take a variety of forms and might include certification, references from past employers, testimonials from clients, and work samples. The onus is on candidates to provide sufficient evidence to satisfy assessors that they currently hold the relevant competencies. In judging evidence, the assessor must ensure that the evidence of prior learning is:

Volume 4 of 5 Page 20 of 514 © Commonwealth of Australia, 2002 To be reviewed by: 31 January 2005 THT02 Tourism Training Package (Version 2) Date this PDF was generated: 02 July 2007 Assessment Guidelines • authentic (the candidates own work) • valid (directly related to the current version of the relevant endorsed unit of competency) • reliable (shows that the candidate consistently meets the endorsed unit of competency) • current (reflects the candidates current capacity to perform the aspect of the work covered by the endorsed unit of competency), and • sufficient (covers the full range of elements in the relevant unit of competency and addresses the four dimensions of competency, namely task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills, and job/role environment skills).

The assessment only or recognition of prior learning pathway is likely to be most appropriate in the following scenarios: • candidates enrolling in qualifications who want recognition for prior learning or current competencies • existing workers • individuals with overseas qualifications • recent migrants with established work histories • people returning to the workplace, and • people with disabilities or injuries requiring a change in career.

Combination of Pathways Where candidates for assessment have gained competencies through work and life experience and gaps in their competence are identified, or where they require training in new areas, a combination of pathways may be appropriate. In such situations, the candidate may undertake an initial assessment to determine their current competency. Once current competency is identified, a structured learning and assessment program ensures that the candidate acquires the required additional competencies identified as gaps. Assessor Requirements This section identifies the mandatory competencies for assessors, and clarifies how others may contribute to the assessment process where one person alone does not hold all the required competencies. Assessor Competencies The Standards for Registered Training Organisations specify mandatory competency requirements for assessors. For information, Standard 7.3 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations follows: 7.3 a The RTO must ensure that assessments are conducted by a person who has:

• the following competencies* from the Training Package for Assessment and Workplace Training, or demonstrated equivalent competencies: • TAAASS401A Plan and organise assessment; • TAAASS402A Assess competence; • TAAASS404A Participate in assessment validation; • relevant vocational competencies, at least to the level being assessed.

b However, if a person does not have all of the competencies in Standards 7.3 a (i) and the vocational competencies as defined in 7.3 a (ii), one person with the competencies listed in Standard 7.3 a (i), and one or more persons who have the competencies listed in Standard 7.3 a (ii) may work together to conduct assessments.

* A person who holds the competencies BSZ401A Plan assessment, BSZ402A Conduct assessment, and BSZ403A Review assessment from the Training Package for Assessment and Workplace Training will be accepted for the purposes of this standard. A person who has demonstrated equivalent competencies to BSZ401A and BSZ402A and BSZ403A in the period up to 12 months following publication of the Training and Assessment Training Package will also be accepted for the purposes of this standard.

Designing Assessment Tools This section provides an overview on the use and development of assessment tools. Use of Assessment Tools Assessment tools provide a means of collecting the evidence that assessors use in making judgements about whether candidates have achieved competency. There is no set format or process for the design, production or development of assessment tools. Assessors may use prepared assessment tools, such as those specifically developed to support this Training Package, or they may develop their own. Using Prepared Assessment Tools If using prepared assessment tools, assessors should ensure these are benchmarked, or mapped, against the current version of the relevant unit of competency. This can be done by checking that the materials are listed on the National Training Information Service (http://www.ntis.gov.au). Materials on the list have been noted by the National Training Quality Council as meeting their quality criteria for Training Package support materials. Developing Assessment Tools When developing assessment tools, assessors must ensure that they: • are benchmarked against the relevant unit or units of competency • are reviewed as part of the validation of assessment strategies as required under 9.2 (i) of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations • meet the assessment requirements expressed in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, particularly Standards 8 and 9.

A key reference for assessors developing assessment tools is TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package and the unit of competency TAAASS403A Develop assessment tools. There is no set format or process for the design, production or development of assessment materials. Conducting Assessment This section details the mandatory assessment requirements and provides information on equity in assessment including reasonable adjustment. Mandatory Assessment Requirements Assessments must meet the criteria set out in Standard 8 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations. For information, Standard 8 from the Standards for Registered Training Organisations is reproduced below. 8 RTO Assessments

Volume 4 of 5 Page 22 of 514 © Commonwealth of Australia, 2002 To be reviewed by: 31 January 2005 THT02 Tourism Training Package (Version 2) Date this PDF was generated: 02 July 2007 Assessment Guidelines

The RTOs assessments meet the requirements of the endorsed components of Training Packages and the outcomes specified in accredited courses within the scope of its registration.

8.1 The RTO must ensure that assessments (including RPL):

i. comply with the assessment guidelines included in the applicable nationally endorsed Training Packages or the assessment requirements specified in accredited courses;

ii. lead to the issuing of a statement of attainment or qualification under the AQF when a person is assessed as competent against nationally endorsed unit(s) of competency in the applicable Training Package or modules specified in the applicable accredited course;

iii. are valid, reliable, fair and flexible;

iv. provide for applicants to be informed of the context and purpose of the assessment and the assessment process;

v. where relevant, focus on the application of knowledge and skill to standard of performance required in the workplace and cover all aspects workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills;

vi. involve the evaluation of sufficient evidence to enable judgements to be made about whether competency has been attained;

vii. provide for feedback to the applicant about the outcomes of the assessment process and guidance on future options in relation to those outcomes;

viii. are equitable for all persons, taking account of individual needs relevant to the assessment; and

ix. provide for reassessment on appeal.

8.2 a The RTO must ensure that RPL is offered to all applicants on enrolment

b The RTO must have an RPL process that:

i. is structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants; and ii. provides adequate information, support and opportunities for participants to engage in the RPL process.

Access and Equity An individuals access to the assessment process should not be adversely affected by restrictions placed on the location or context of assessment beyond the requirements specified in this Training Package. Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities. Adjustments include any changes to the assessment process or context that meet the individual needs of the person with a disability, but do not change competency outcomes. Such adjustments are considered reasonable if they do not impose an unjustifiable hardship on a training provider or employer. When assessing people with disabilities, assessors are encouraged to apply good practice assessment methods with sensitivity and flexibility.

For example: • Where? How many times? How quickly? • Does it need to be done in more than one place or industry context? • Does it have to be undertaken over a period of time? • Do you have to actually do it, just know about it or plan it? • What equipment, materials and documentation do you have to use? • What other people should be involved? • How many customers do you need to serve? • What are the special industry conditions and restraints?

Below are some explanations of terms used in this section of the competency standards. industry-realistic timeframes / typical workplace time constraints / work conditions, ratios of staff to customers • Tasks must be completed within a timeframe that would be acceptable in a real workplace and with the presence of daily work realities such as interruptions. For example, how long should it take to issue a single coach ticket in a busy workplace? • Staff to customer ratios must reflect those generally used by a commercially viable business on an average day. For example, how many customers would a waiter be reasonably expected to serve, or how many meals would a cook generally prepare during a lunch period? project or work activities conducted over a period of time • The competency requires the application of monitoring skills, ongoing supervision or implementation of a plan or policy, so an activity that extends over a length of time is required. For example, the development and management of an event, function or tour would be appropriate (eg running an end of term excursion for a class). involvement of customers or suppliers, interaction with others • Involvement of other people such as customers, team members and passengers is required to allow the candidate to demonstrate the interactive or customer service aspects of the competency. For example, working with other members of a kitchen brigade, or role-playing answering of customer questions. • In units dealing with project-based or management skills, consultation with or leadership of others may be a key unit requirement, and this must be reflected in assessment. For example, developing a proposal for an event would require consultation with suppliers. on more than on occasion • This statement has been used sparingly and is only included when a totally separate performance occasion is considered essential. For example, the preparation of specialised food items may require demonstration on different occasions to ensure an appropriate range. across a full service period • Demonstration of skills across a normal food and beverage service period will enable the

Volume 4 of 5 Page 24 of 514 © Commonwealth of Australia, 2002 To be reviewed by: 31 January 2005 THT02 Tourism Training Package (Version 2) Date this PDF was generated: 02 July 2007 Assessment Guidelines candidate to demonstrate ability to respond to a range of typical service issues and problems, handle different customer requests and so forth. For example, a candidate would may provide service during a breakfast, lunch or dinner period in a restaurant. fully-equipped operational commercial kitchen /dining room, industry-current equipment • The equipment required for a commercial operation, particularly for a kitchen or restaurant will vary depending on the size and style of operation, but it is vastly different to that required in a domestic setting. To demonstrate competence, candidates must have access to a range of suitable equipment which is currently used in the industry. Lists of suggested equipment are found in the Appendices. • An operational environment is one which is actually in operation under commercial conditions ie. is producing and serving food and beverage for customers. to address differing....., to address a range..... • It is impossible to define range precisely as the standards are relevant to so many different contexts. However, adherence to general business norms should apply. For example, many different reservations from different types of customer and for varying services would need to be processed, as no business would be viable without reservations staff able to do this. which reflects local industry practice • Activities should be tailored to local industry needs. For example, in a tour guiding situation, the numbers of people involved as customers and the type of environment in which the assessment is conducted should reflect the relevant style of products and services offered. For a National Parks guide this may mean assessment in a natural area with a small group whereas a guide in the city might be assessed on a coach during an urban tour. commercially-realistic environment • The environment must be one in which the activity would take place in the real world of work. For example, a guide might run an activity or deliver a commentary at a tourist site, on a coach or on a beach.

Customising Units of Competence Competency standards are packaged and aligned to qualifications in the Australian Qualifications Framework. Individual units of competence, however, do not specify levels since it is the combination of a group of standards that forms a qualification at a particular level. The qualification and job outcome will indicate the level at which a unit is assessed. The national competency standards apply industry-wide. They have been written so that they can be applied and adapted to a broad range of enterprise types and industry contexts. Trainers and assessors therefore need to customise the content and training/assessment activities to suit particular workplaces or training situations. The Range Statement includes statements about the required scope of performance, but also includes guidance and examples which can be adjusted to suit local industry, sector and enterprise needs. For example, an organisation may wish to customise the standards to ensure that assessment is undertaken on equipment, and according to organisational procedures, unique

However, the Evidence Guide of each unit, plus the content of all elements and performance criteria, stipulate the requirements for achievement of competency. Therefore all of these requirements must be met.
