2.3 Delivery Strategies and Methods
The Competency Unit may be delivered on-the-job and/or off-the-job. On-the-job delivery can be done at the workplace by a certified on-the-job training instructor who maybe the manager or senior executive. On-the job training should be delivered through a structured approach using documented and approved training blueprints. Off-the-job delivery can be face to face in the classroom in a training organization, or at a workplace venue. Classroom delivery should emphasise interaction and student centred learning and use a flexible range of learning and delivery methods.
If preparations by learners are required prior to commencement of the course, they should be provided with learning materials such as handouts (self-directed learning) or compact disc (e-learning) upon registration of the course. They should also be notified by training organization on what they need to prepare before coming for the course.
Every effort must be made to emphasise the direct relationship between the acquisition and application of the skills, knowledge and attitudes to their workplace.

personnel. These delivery methods should be adjusted according to the different levels of the class group. To enhance the transfer of learning, an andragogical or adult-oriented approach to learning is encouraged in the development and delivery of the Competency Unit. Andragogical instructional techniques are designed with these factors in mind:
� adults are self-directed � adults have acquired a large amount of knowledge and experience
that can be utilised as a resource for learning � adults have acquired a large amount of knowledge and experience
through workplace learning � adults show a greater readiness to learn tasks that are relevant to the
roles they have in life � adults are motivated to learn in order to solve problems or address
needs and they expect to immediately apply what they learn to these problems and needs
Marine Terminal (Ship/Shore Interface) Operations for Oil, Chemical and Gas
Ensure Transfer Operation Continues Safely and Efficiently
17
� adults need to be challenged with varied strategies that maintain interest.
Varied delivery strategies should be utilised to optimise learning. For example:
� lecture presentation � role play � group discussion � case studies � demonstration � practice � observation and feedback � sharing of best practices � computer aided instructions.
3 Assessment Advice
3.1 Suggested Assessment Strategies
Assessment strategy 1
Work Observation – Real work situations or simulations
Candidates are to be observed at approved assessment centre and the observation should cover participants’ ability to ensure transfer operation continues safely and efficiently.
Where real work situation is used for the assessment and where all evidence cannot be gathered in a one time assessment, they can be gathered over a reasonable period of time (maybe within a week) as determined and agreed by the candidate’s manager, assessor and assessment manager. The assessment duration in this case will not apply. However, candidate should complete the assessment within the time frame stipulated in the job sheet or work instruction.
Where it is not possible to assess the learner using real work situations, simulation will be used as an alternative method. Assessor is advised to study the candidate’s work situation very carefully to determine the most appropriate method(s) to use for assessment. Simulation may also be used to gather all or part of the evidence. Where simulation is used to gather all the evidence, the assessment duration specified in the Assessment Plan will apply. Where simulation is used to gather part of the evidence, the assessor will need to determine the assessment duration and inform the candidate accordingly.
Where evidence cannot be gathered during the practical performance, supplementary questions will be asked to ascertain candidate’s competency.

Ensure Transfer Operation Continues Safely and Efficiently
18
Assessment strategy 2
Questioning
Written and/or oral questioning is used to assess knowledge and performance criteria that are not observable during practical performance. Written test could be done through electronic means or question paper.
Where candidates are unable to express a response during oral questioning, other means of response could be used, such as writing, drawing or demonstrating.
Questions will be phrased simply and clearly to aid candidate’s understanding of questions.
Candidates will be assessed based on their correct answers to the questions asked and assessment results are recorded accordingly.
3.2 Certifying and Grading Performance
Not applicable as this unit is un-graded.
3.3 Assessment Instruments and Tools
