Skills Assessment (Practical Tasks)
| ASSESSOR NOTE These instructions must be followed when assessing the student in this unit. The checklist on the following page is to be completed for each student. Please refer to separate mapping document for specific details relating to alignment of this task to the unit requirements. This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. Resource implications for assessment include: • an induction procedure and requirement • realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements • relevant specifications and work instructions • tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices • support materials appropriate to activity • workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies • material safety data sheets • research resources, including industry related systems information. Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. |
What happens if your result is ‘Not Yet Competent’ for one or more assessment tasks?
The assessment process is designed to answer the question “has the participant satisfactorily demonstrated competence yet?” If the answer is “Not yet”, then we work with you to see how we can get there.
In the case that one or more of your assessments has been marked ‘NYC’, your Trainer will provide you with the necessary feedback and guidance, in order for you to resubmit/redo your assessment task(s).
What if you disagree on the assessment outcome?
You can appeal against a decision made in regards to an assessment of your competency. An appeal should only be made if you have been assessed as ‘Not Yet Competent’ against specific competency standards and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as competent.
You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to meet the requirements of the unit you are appealing against the assessment of.
You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your Trainer, the Course Coordinator, or an Administration Officer. The RTO will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the form.
What if I believe I am already competent before training?
If you believe you already have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate competence in this unit, speak with your Trainer, as you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Credit Transfer
Credit transfer is recognition for study you have already completed. To receive Credit Transfer, you must be enrolled in the relevant program. Credit Transfer can be granted if you provide the RTO with certified copies of your qualifications, a Statement of Attainment or a Statement of Results along with Credit Transfer Application Form. (For further information please visit Credit Transfer Policy)
There are number of Program Management frameworks that exist; as example, PMI (Project Management Institute) based SPM (Standard for Program Management) framework, TSO (The Stationary Office, UK Government) based MSP (Managing Successful Programs) framework, University of Oxford Program Management framework, George Washington University Program Management framework, Big 4 consultancy firm’s Program Management framework etc.
Select one of the frameworks and develop a report that will:
compare evaluation and moderation methods applied to program management
identify legislation and regulation related to the program context
document program and project resource types, characteristics and supply
explain program funding models
prepare a model for risk management standards and methodology.
Assume that the report is to be provided to your organisation’s senior management team and as part of a program is managing the following 3 projects:
| Project 1 - Website redevelopment and hosting and maintenance services for Destination: Australia This project is for the technical upgrade of the Archives’ website Destination: Australia. In order to ensure the best value for money and optimal functionality (for the website and related exhibition interactive) going forward, it is necessary for the website to be transferred from a proprietary CMS to a commonly available CMS (including, but not limited to, an Open Source CMS). The website will enable the National Archives of Australia to collect user contributed data about the photographic collection featured on the site. The interface must be modern, engaging and user-friendly, designed to meet the needs of people of all ages, and differing levels of computer and English literacy. The website must interact successfully with an exhibition interactive via an existing API. There is an option for hosting, maintenance and support services to be provided from contract execution until 31 December 2019. |
| Project 2 – Re-development of Intranet A redevelopment of the Clean Energy Regulator staff Intranet into SharePoint 2013 |
| Project 3 - Database for community engagement - Software As A Service Customer Relationship Management system (SAAS CRM) The National Radioactive Waste Management Facility project is currently in Phase 2, best described as the technical assessment and continued community consultation phase. One site has been chosen to progress to this stage while other as yet unknown sites may also progress to this stage. The project team requires a database (Software As A Service Customer Relationship Management system (SAAS CRM) to effectively and confidentially manage large volumes of data, including names, addresses, opinions of community members and contact details. This will assist in ongoing community engagement. |
The completed report for the program and specific projects within the program must outline how the selected framework will be applied to:
1. Secure program funding
2. Resource the program
3. Measure, evaluate, and coordinate program progress
4. Ensure relevant legal and regulatory requirements are addressed
5. Anticipate and respond to changes
6. Manage program risks
The report must also outline all implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes.
