This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare for and conduct noise surveys and report results:
- Noise evaluation in practice
- Sound and noise measurement
- Basic acoustics principles and noise mapping
You will be able to:
- prepare for and conduct noise surveys using at least one handheld sound level meters and at least one fixed noise monitoring station
- process, evaluate, verify and report data from noise surveys
- apply basic acoustic principles and noise mapping techniques
How you will study:
You are required to complete activities from wherever you are comfortable learning. The activities consist of ‘Knowledge Base’ (theory) Study Modules and Skill-based Practical Work Modules. The Unit is designed for approximately 40 to 50 hours of knowledge base study, with practical work 10 to 20 hours to complete.
- There are three (3) Knowledge Base Study Modules
- There are four (4) Skill-based Practical Work Modules
- Each knowledge base module has a set of 20 review questions and attainment questions
- Practical work requires presentation of monitoring and analysis reports
- A Certificate of Attainment is awarded at the satisfactory completion (90% pass-mark) of each module.
- SPECIALIST MODULE: A specialist skill-based practical work module may be substituted for one of the set practical work modules. The content for this module must be accepted and approved by Acoustar.
- TUTORIALS. Each knowledge-base and practical-work module is supported by a 30-minute online tutorial.
The course covers the skills and knowledge required to competently apply a range of methods and technologies to conduct noise monitoring and evaluation. Our course is designed for:
- field staff, site coordinators, Health & Safety Representatives;
- managers and senior personnel employed by workplaces and unions in a wide range of industry sectors, e.g. manufacturing, building and construction, certification and audit
- regulatory authorities involved with noise assessment, evaluation and compliance
- professionals requiring skill and knowledge validation in the field of practical noise monitoring and evaluation
