1. Learning and Assessment Plan Overview Competency Standard

Unit (CSU)

UEENEEK142A – Apply environmentally and sustainable procedures in the energy sector

CSU

Descriptor

This competency standard unit requires the worker to undertake

methods of work practice that minimises energy and material usage and to seek energy reduction strategies in the energy sector workplace. The unit seeks to minimise negative impacts on the environment.

Purpose of

LAP

The purpose of the LAP is to define the depth and breadth of knowledge

and skills required for the competency standard unit listed and the minimum assessment requirements. It also provides a list of resources

suitable in the delivery of the material using a blended method of delivery approach.

Suggested duration

It is anticipated 20 hours of structured/supervised learning will be required to impart this Learning and Assessment Plan.

Note: This duration includes the time taken to impart and assess the

learning content areas. It does not include the necessary workplace assessment and experience that augments learning in this part and

before competence is determined.

Learning
