Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
Analysis of given details related to various mine ventilation and occupational hygiene systems are identified in all instances where the systems do not comply with legislative best practices and the most appropriate ways of correcting the defects in the system are indicated.
Drafted ventilation layouts for specific mining work areas are made to comply with the code of practice requirements and are feasible in terms of airflow dynamics and ventilation principles.
Analysis of the impact/risks of given layouts on the existing ventilation infrastructure are identified in all the short, medium and long term risks and the ventilation resources required to deliver the specified requirements are described.
All recourses are identified and the description indicates the related implementation implications.
The specific ventilation, fire and explosion prevention requirements for a specific ventilation district are determined in accordance with the risk assessment and an interpretation of the mine plans. All hazards identified in the risk assessment are adequately dealt with and the requirements meet all the specifications of the code of practice.
Construction and installation schedules and plans are developed indicating the resources to implement the layouts and all requirement in terms of Material, labour, supervision, time, and transport are accurately specified.
Troubles shooting identify all the possible causes of poor performing ventilation systems and appropriate improvements are recommended. All performance deviations are identified and the root causes of the poor performance is specified and verified.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
Indications of where given emergency preparedness and response plans for various types of mines deviate from the mandatory codes of practice are accurate and all deviations are specified and the appropriate corrective actions identified.
Descriptions of all the operating and maintenance principles for all the emergency and rescue equipment used for the full range of mine emergencies comply with the regulations and standard operating procedures.
The effectiveness of various blasting schedules for various mining conditions is correctly interpreted using the data from telemetry systems.
Potential deviations from regulatory requirements relating to ventilation standards and practices are accurately identified and explanations of what must be done to ensure that the various situations are corrected comply with accepted professional practices for the specific type of mine.
Identification of all the essential components that must be inspected from a Ventilation and Occupational hygiene perspective for given mining areas and conditions is done to ensure that they meet the minimum regulatory requirements.
The potential risks associated with a range of inspection findings that covers the full spectrum of potential risks and descriptions of what must be done to mitigate these risks are identified in line with leading professional practices.
The Interpretation of the survey results is compared with the standards to identify discrepancies. All discrepancies are grouped in terms of severity according to the globally accepted risk assessment classifications and standards.
The possible causes of the discrepancies are identified and appropriately verified.
Technical reports with recommendations to deal with the identified discrepancies are drafted and meet the regulatory requirements and mine specific standards.
Implementation plans with a process to monitor the success of the implementation are developed and presented to decision makers using appropriate terminology, accurate assessments and findings and feasible and professionally sound recommendations;
Potential future discrepancies are identified and plans to prevent these discrepancies from occurring are developed in line with organisational standards and professional leading practices.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
All the legally required reports that must be submitted regarding mine ventilation and occupational hygiene are listed and the purpose and use of each report as set out in the relevant legislative requirements are described.
The key information that must be contained in each of the identified reports is listed and the source of the information is accurately identified.
The legally allowed exposure limits for various occupational hygiene situations on different types of mines are correctly identified and for each of the situations the short, medium and long term consequences are for non-compliance to these limits are described in terms of factual case examples.
Various occupational hygiene monitoring programmes for different mining scenarios are analysed and all the deficiencies in the programmes are accurately identified.
The short, medium and long term consequences of the identified deficiencies are described and feasible actions to deal with the identified deficiencies are explained according to leading mine ventilation standards and practices.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
Analysis of various technical reports is correctly outlined and areas where the structure of the reports can be improved are indicated.
Suggested ways of improving the structure and quality of various reports are highlighted and all obvious technical errors improve the quality of the reports.
Hand drafted reports are accurately captured on a commonly used word processing device and appropriate graphs are added and the report is presented in an acceptable format that meets regulatory and organisational requirements and standards.
The performance of a team of Ventilation observers is reviewed using appropriate processes and all the performance problems are identified.
Appropriate action is initiated to resolve the performance problems according to legislative and organisational specific human resource requirements and standards.

Integrated Assessment:
Integrated formative assessment:
The skills development provider will use the curriculum to guide them on the stipulated internal assessment criteria and weighting. They will also apply the scope of practical skills and applied knowledge as stipulated by the internal assessment criteria. This formative assessment leads to entrance into the integrated external summative assessment.

Integrated summative assessment:
The external assessment will take place once the candidate has successfully completed all the theory and practical skills modules and gained the experience as set out in the curriculum. The assessment will be conducted by a panel of registered assessors at an approved assessment site.
