Use numbers in an automotive workplace

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Work requires individuals to demonstrate entry level proficiency with numerically orientated problem-solving skills as they relate to vehicle repairs or workplace administrative documentation in an automotive workplace or setting.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to make simple calculations and numerical estimations relating to vehicle repairs, parts and labour quotations and preparatory calculations for workplace documentation.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Not applicable.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge.

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to:

identify and source relevant technical information

gather and evaluate mathematical information relating to the problem or job requirement

devise and implement mathematical and numerical solutions for a minimum of three key vehicle or workplace functions

demonstrate mathematical and numerical solutions in workplace documentation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment is to occur:

using standard workplace practices and procedures

following safety requirements

applying environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with relevant:

regulatory requirements

Australian standards

industry codes of practice

The following resources should be made available:

a workplace or simulated workplace

documentation, such as workshop manuals, vehicle repair information, enterprise or sample documents, invoices, statements, stock records, job cards, repair quotations, personnel records, time sheets and supply quotations

equipment for calculations, such as calculators or computers.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with the application of required skills and knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on required skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other units which together form part of a holistic work role.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate the needs of diverse clients.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

use mathematical ideas and techniques to count and measure

select and apply mathematical processes, including at a minimum; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

planning and organising skills to:

plan and organise activities using numbers/calculations in plans and work requirements

plan and organise activities relating to the reading of automotive specific text

problem-solving skills to:

identifying suitable mathematical principles to solve numerical problems

refer problems outside area of responsibility to appropriate person and suggest possible causes

self-management skills to:

select and use appropriate written materials, processes and procedures

recognise limitations and seek timely advice

follow workplace documentation, such as codes of practice and operating procedures

teamwork skills to work with others and in a team by seeing and conveying information relating to the calculating, planning, sequencing and completion of the task

technical skills to collect, organise and understand information relating to collating figures, calculation and analysis

technology skills to:

use available workplace technology relating to using numbers in an automotive workplace

use workplace technology to assist with information transfer

Required knowledge

knowledge of workplace policies and procedures relating to the collection, storage and application of numerical information

basic mathematical concepts

metric and non-metric systems of measurement as they relate to numerical calculations for vehicle repairs

calculations including addition, multiplication, subtraction, division and percentages

calculations involving whole numbers and fractions

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Examples of numerical information may include:

manufacturer/component supplier specifications

vehicle workshop / repair manuals

equipment / component specifications

automotive texts

information sourced from enterprise-specific documents

equipment or material supply quotations.

Calculations may include:

using simple mathematical equations with or without assistance of a calculator, relating to automotive oriented data and equipment, involving the use of:

counting

measurement

addition

subtraction

multiplication

division

whole numbers

fractions

using metric and non-metric measurement systems

using measuring devices.

Information and workplace documents may include:

repair quotations

numerical invoices

statements

stock records

job cards

personal records

time sheets

computer records,

supplier invoices or statements.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
