ATSEP.OR.305 Assessment of initial and ongoing competence

INITIAL COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT If the competence assessment is done by the same person training the ATSEP learner during the S/E training phase, the service provider should have in place a process to reduce biases.

SUPERVISION OF NON-COMPETENT PERSONNEL Supervision of personnel for lack of competence may be necessary due to a number of circumstances including but not restricted to:

(a)the ATSEP still being trained;

(b)the ATSEP undergoing remedial training due to loss of competence; and

(c)the ATSEP having lost competence due to extended absence from tasks that require competence.

BEHAVIOURAL SKILLS Behavioural skills are non-technical skills and attitudes that ATSEP need to perform effectively. Examples of potential behavioural skills criteria related to initial and ongoing competence are:

(a)cooperation within a team;

(b)attitudes towards safety and security;

(c)flexibility;

(d)analytical thinking; and

(e)ability to communicate effectively.
