Supplementary Information: Assessment Statement Assessment is the process of collecting evidence and making judgments on the extent and nature of progress towards the achievement of the performance standard outlined in this unit. Assessment against this unit of competency may involve any of the following techniques: Guidance of assessment Evidence of competency is best obtained by observing activities in the field and in the office and reviewing fault finding in security equipment/system under normal industry operating conditions. If this is not practicable, observations in realistic simulated environments may be substituted. Evidence of competency will include: Resources required for Assessment |

| PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: |
| This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here. |
