1. Discuss the assessment process with your assessor and plan your first assessment.
  2. You should complete 3 assessed work activities for each unit of competence, covering all of the performance criteria in the competence. This does not mean all the performance criteria 3 times.
  3. An assessment may cover more than one competence. For example, if a technical or operational competence is being assessed, criteria from teamwork, safety, emergency response competencies (usually competencies 1-3 respectively) may be assessed at the same time.
  4. At least 70% of the assessment must be demonstrated to your assessor by observation or by assessment of your work product. The other 30% may be assessed by other means explained to you by your assessor, such as:
    1. A simulated activity
    2. A report by you on how you would do something.
    3. Written or oral questioning
  5. Your assessor should assess your knowledge as well as your skill. This may be done by oral or written questioning and should be specific to the work being undertaken.
  6. Your assessor should meet with you and give you feedback on your performance. Your assessor should tell you: if you are competent yet, or what you still need to do to become competent or improve.
  7. File all of your evidence (either in paper or, preferably electronic format) for forwarding to MTCS:
    1. Assessment Plan / Decision & Feedback form - named and dated
    2. Performance Criteria observation report including your assessor's details
    3. Evidence of knowledge assessment including your assessor's details
    4. Any supplementary evidence that was produced during your assessments (relevant to you with your name / signature on them). For example:
      1. Copies of dive/video logs
      2. Copies of pre/post-dive checks
      3. Copies of maintenance activities completed
      4. Copies of faults diagnosed & repaired
      5. Pictures of you working etc
    5. Copies of Medical & Survival certificates
    6. Copies of logbook pages showing:
      1. Days worked offshore
      2. Work activities undertaken offshore
    7. The signature sheet with your assessor's name and signature on it (this is the only document which must be scanned for original signatures - all other documents can be provided electronically).
