Critical Aspects of Evidence 

Describe how assessments meet the critical aspects of evidence 

• comply with OHS and organisational quality procedures and processes within the context of this unit of competency 

AT1 requires students to identify and comply with OHS and organisational qualified procedures and processes.  

• accurately apply principles relating to performance of service installations 

AT2 requires the students accurate apply the principles they identify in AT1.  

• identify service installations and hazard categories according to Australian standards, Building Code of Australia (BCA) and job specifications. 

AT1 requires students to identify relevant frameworks for building in general and then apply them to the specified project.  

Context of and specific resources for assessment 

Describe how assessments meet the context of and specific resources for assessment 

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. 

AT3 requires students to undertake knowledge based assessment in theory and offsite.  

Resource implications for assessment include: 

• research resources, including systems information and data 

Students are assisted to identify relevant sources in AT1 and AT2.  Students also use different systems for recording and producing information in response to research.  

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. 

Please refer to RMIT guidelines for reasonable adjustment.
