Knowledge-Based Assessments (Theory)
Participants will need to demonstrate their understanding of:
Practical Demonstration (Skills Assessment)
Learners must show their ability to issue a work permit in a simulated or workplace environment. This may include:
Workplace Project/Case Study
Some providers may include a project or case study where learners need to assess and issue permits based on real or simulated worksite scenarios. The focus is on applying knowledge to practical situations.
Verification of Competency (VOC)
In some cases, there may be a final practical assessment that is conducted in the workplace or a simulated environment. This verifies that the participant can apply the learned skills in real-world scenarios and meet compliance standards.
Observation and Workplace Evidence
For those who are already working in a relevant environment, evidence of past work experience (e.g., previous permits issued or safety records) might be used to support assessments. Some providers may require observation in the workplace to ensure skills are applied appropriately.
Upon successfully completing MSMPER300 – Issue Work Permits, you will typically receive a Statement of Attainment for this specific unit of competency. This is a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
While the Statement of Attainment is for this specific unit, it’s important to note that MSMPER300 is often part of broader qualifications, such as the Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (BSB41419) or other safety-related certifications.
All learners have the right to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for any course or unit in which they are currently enrolled. However, RPL applications will only be accepted for units of competency or qualifications that fall within Serco Defence RTO’s scope of registration. While learners may submit an RPL application at any time, it is recommended that applications be made prior to the commencement of training. RPL assessments will be conducted in accordance with the principles of assessment and the rules of evidence and may only be granted for entire units of competency.
