Details of required rectification relating to element 1.5.1

Actions:

The RTO is required to record evidence of observation on each student’s file to support their assessment of competency against the unit requirements.

POST AUDIT

The RTO provided an observation checklist that supported the record of two separate observations.

This checklist contained the required details and information. The RTO must ensure that this checklist is used to record observation of the candidate as part of their assessment.





apply chemicals

use and maintain PPE

dispose of surplus chemical and containers

use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

prepare an application/spray plan

prepare and apply chemicals. There was a worksheet on the calibration of a boom spray.

The Candidate Assessment instructions state that observation will be used to assess competency - The candidate will be observed demonstrating required skills and application of knowledge for the unit of competency by their trainer in a simulated workplace. There was no evidence on the file of the candidate being observed.

The Final assessment record states that the candidate has demonstrated the skills, knowledge and critical aspects of assessment, however there is no evidence on the file of the candidate having been observed.

Structured Task 5 – Chemical Use Strategy

Structured Task 6 – Chemical Register

Structured Task 7 – Chemical Storage

Structured Task 8 – Boomspray Calibration

Structured Task 9 – Calibrating a Knapsack

Spray

Structure Task 10 Final assessment - written

and multiple choice

the final assessment only

Not all the tasks were used in the assessment – tasks 3, 5,& 9 were crossed out. No evidence that the impact of dropping out these tasks would have on the final assessment.

As the files audited did not contain this checklist or any other evidence of an observation occurring, the ruling still stands.


The RTO is Non-Compliant with Element 1.5. 2.

The approach to validation has not been applied systematically across all training and assessment. Neither the 22275VIC Course in Minimising Risks in
