Depending on the specialist area, guidance from mentors and experienced practitioners could be expected.
Performance Evidence :evaluate own skills and knowledge against planned strategies and career goals, apply planned strategies to develop and enhance own skills and knowledge, research trends in area of specialisation. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
Knowledge Evidence - describe commonly used research methodologies and explain how the following apply to own area of specialisation: copyright, intellectual property issues, work health and safety (WHS) requirements. Discuss implications for self or organisation of adopting emerging trends in own area of specialisation. Describe key aspects of theoretical and historical contexts relevant to area of specialisation.
