Part PERS - ANNEX XIII - Requirements for Service Providers Concerning
Personnel Training and Competence Assessment

(e) ability to communicate effectively.
ATSEP.OR.400 ATSEP training instructors
A service provider employing ATSEP shall ensure that:
(a) ATSEP training instructors are suitably experienced in the field where instruction is to be
given;
(b) on-the-job training instructors have successfully completed an on-the-job-training course
and have the skills to intervene in instances where safety may be compromised during
the training.
ATSEP.OR.405 Technical skills assessors
A service provider employing ATSEP shall ensure that technical skills assessors have successfully
completed an assessor course and are suitably experienced to assess the criteria defined in point
ATSEP.OR.305(b).
ATSEP.OR.405 AMC1 Technical skill assessors
EXPERIENCE
To be considered suitably experienced, technical skills assessors should:
(a) have clear understanding of the service provider's assessment process and procedures
applicable;
(b) have clear understanding of the performance required of the ATSEP during the
assessment and/or on-going assessment;
(c) have the ability to evaluate, in an objective and independent manner, whether the ATSEP
has achieved or is maintaining the level of performance required;
(d) have the ability to assess and, if required, act when intervention is necessary to ensure
that safety is not compromised;
(e) have the ability to analyse and accurately describe and/or record strengths and
weaknesses of an ATSEP performance; and
(f) use appropriate interpersonal and communication skills to brief and debrief an ATSEP, if
required.
ATSEP.OR.405 GM1 Technical skills assessors
GENERAL
The technical skills assessor is the person who is considered suitable to determine whether an
ATSEP is technically competent to operate, maintain, release from and return into operations
systems that are necessary for the provision of services. This assessment may be in any context
where assessment of technical skills is required, e.g. assessment of first competence, ongoing
competence.
ATSEP.OR.405 GM2 Technical skill assessors
ASSESSMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) Where a technical-skill assessor works regularly with an ATSEP and he or she is
required to assess the ATSEP, then continuous assessment may be appropriate, i.e.
assessment may be achieved by the technical assessor observing the standard of an
ATSEP’s work on a continuous basis during normal operational duties. In that case, the
technical-skill assessor should inform the ATSEP of when they will be assessed.
(b) If the appointed technical assessor also acts as line manager to the individual ATSEP, the
service provider should have in place a process to reduce biases. Responsibility for
determining competence lies with the person having the safety accountability for the
ATSEP function.
