Requirements for completing this assessment checklist
This checklist may be completed entirely by hand or by typed entry in the personal statement, workplace assessment and competence assessment boxes (including summaries). When typing, the boxes will expand to accommodate the length of the comments. When completing electronically, wherever possible embed the supporting evidence in the marked area; this can be done by clicking on “Insert” from the toolbar menu, then “Object” and on the dialog box select “create from file”, then “display as icon” and “browse” to insert the required file, alternatively hyperlinks can be inserted but they must link to an external data storage that can be passed to the assessor. If completing by hand, the boxes can be enlarged by inserting spaces prior to printing.
Assessment requirements
Evidence must include a self-assessment completed by the applicant in the box headed “Personal statement (how I meet performance requirements n.n)” with a sample of relevant reports and records they have produced. Documents and records of communication with others, including witness testimonies, may also provide evidence with regard to the steps taken to meet the performance requirements.
Meeting all the performance requirements
Performance requirements are grouped together in boxes, each of these (not just the bold statement) must be met and in the context of the unit title.
Surveillance (after 5 years) - Workplace assessment is not required
In addition to their personal statements, the applicant should provide supporting evidence that they have been carrying out licensable work satisfactory for the previous 5 years, cross referenced to relevant entries in their logbook or provide other suitable evidence.
Renewal (after 10 years)
A single level of assessment is permitted by an approved competence assessor for the renewal of this licence. In addition to their personal statements the applicant should provide supporting evidence that they have been carrying out licensable work satisfactory for the previous 5 years cross referenced to relevant entries in their logbook or provide other suitable evidence. The single stage renewal assessment must be carried out within six months of the category expiring otherwise both workplace and competence assessments must be undertaken. The Work Experience Sheets from the logbook must show that the applicant has been undertaking satisfactory licensable work over the previous 5 years.
