Introduction
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to observe fauna characteristics for identification in the field using reference material. This is not an animal surveying unit; it focuses on observation skills and the identification of fauna from these observations. This unit is about observing fauna in the wild and identifying the fauna that you are observing. You will learn about the characteristics of different fauna in Western Australia using a variety of reference materials.
The unit applies to individuals who work in the conservation and ecosystem management industry under broad supervision and who take responsibility for their own work. They use discretion and judgement in the selection, allocation and use of available resources and for solving problems.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Pre-requisite Unit
Nil.
Learning Outcomes
- Prepare for fauna identification
- Identify fauna
- Complete identification of fauna
Assessments Overview
This Assessment Booklet includes all your tasks for the assessment in this unit of competency and you must complete all assessment tasks.
Assessment Task | About this Task |
---|---|
Assessment Task 1: Written Questions | You must correctly answer all |
questions to show that you understand the knowledge required for this unit.
Assessment Task 2: Practical Project| You will undertake the practical
project in the field following the tasks prescribed and submit a Logbook of
activities.
How to submit your Assessments
When you have completed each assessment task, submit all evidence listed to
your Assessor either in hardcopy, electronically by email or uploading to the
RTO’s Assessment Portal or as otherwise instructed by your Assessor.
Make sure you keep a copy of all submitted work as your Assessor will not
return these to you. It is your responsibility to keep this copy until you
have completed the course.
Assessment Cover Sheet
Each Assessment Task has a cover sheet that you need to complete and sign the declaration. Submit this with your evidence for each Assessment Task. Ensure you answer all questions and complete all details prior to submitting this form.
Feedback from your Assessor
Your Assessor will provide feedback on the Record of Outcome for each
Assessment Task. This form will be provided to you and you must return this
form to the Assessor for storage. Sign and Date this form.
Provide any comments that you wish your Assessor to know.
Resubmission of any Assessment Task
If you get something wrong and have to resubmit a part of your evidence or re- do a task again, the Assessor will discuss this with you and provide a deadline for you to resubmit the evidence by.
Deadlines for submission of evidence
Your Assessor will notify you of the last possible date of submission of evidence. There are no extensions provided unless there are extenuating circumstances. You would need to apply for an extension with your Assessor stating the grounds for the request. Do not assume an extension will be approved. It rarely is.
Purpose of the Assessments
All assessments have been created for you to be able to demonstrate your competency levels in each area. When you are graded Satisfactory in each Assessment Task, this leads to a competent result in the entire unit.
Assessment decisions
Your Assessor will mark each assessment task against the performance and knowledge criteria in the unit. Each aspect of the criteria being tested is listed in the section of the assessment “You will be required to have a good understanding of the following areas”.
