SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
SPECIFIED REQUIREMENTS: Specified requirements include legal and legislative specific requirements and are: LEGAL CONTEXT SPECIFIC Resources required for Assessment: SPECIAL NOTES WITH REFERENCE TO LEARNING HOURS REQUIRED WHEN LEARNING TOWARDS A COMBINATION OF UNIT STANDARDS: Should a learner attempt the unit standard: Use of a rifle in combination with the three other unit standards namely, use of a shotgun/handgun/hand machine carbine the total hours required by the learner to achieve the required outcomes of all four standards (in combination) would be: 190 hours. The rational for shortening the total learning hours by more than half is that similar knowledge and skills are present in some of the specific outcomes and assessment criteria. Such similarities is evident in outcomes such as the application of knowledge and understanding of the relevant legislation required for the lawful possession and use of a shotgun/handgun/hand machine carbine/rifle and in the assessment criteria: demonstrate and apply knowledge of safe handling of a shotgun/handgun/hand machine carbine/rifle in accordance with standard safe handling procedures of specific outcome: handle rifles safely. Finally, the learning hours required, combination should be as follows: Learning towards first unit standard: 100 notional training hours. Additional learning towards any one of the three remaining unit standards: 30 notional training hours. Example: First unit: Unit Standard No. 10750: Use of a rifle. 100 notional training hours. Combined with: Unit Standard No. 10754: Use of a shotgun. 30 notional training hours and/or; Unit Standard No. 10748: Use of a handgun. 30 notional training hours and/or; Unit Standard No. 10756: Use of a hand machine carbine. 30 notional training hours. When standards are attempted as a combination total notional training hours required for all four standards should be 190 notional training hours. This unit standard has been replaced by unit standard 119651, which is "Handle and use a manually operated rifle or carbine", Level 3, 2 credits. |
