Critical Aspects of Evidence 

Describe how assessments meet the critical aspects of evidence 

• accurately apply survey and levelling principles relating to performance of site set-out 

AT1, AT2 and AT3 require the students to undertake levelling activities and report accurate results.  

• apply and interpret relevant documentation, codes and legislation 

AT1, AT2 and AT3 require the students to document SWMS appropriate to the worksite and based on codes and legislation.  They also require the student to read and interpret plans, specifications and procedures for carrying out work.   

• identify typical faults and problems and take necessary action taken to rectify 

AT1, AT2 and AT3 require the students to identify and resolve problems with equipment and measurements.   

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. 

Students will undertake two tests of knowledge evidence.  

Resource implications for assessment include: 

• research resources, including systems information and data 

AT2 provides students with access to research resources and information for conducting 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.
