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.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Prepare to read and apply vehicle wiring schematics and drawings | 1.1 Workplace instructions are used to determine job requirements 1.2 Wiring schematics and drawings are sourced that relate to the vehicle, vessel or machinery electrical system being tested 1.3 Schematics and drawings are checked to ensure they are current and include latest amendments |
2. Interpret information | 2.1 Electrical circuit information in schematics and drawings is correctly identified 2.2 Information is interpreted and applied to assist when carrying out testing and repair procedures on electrical wiring systems |
3. Complete work processes | 3.1 Schematics and drawings are stored to ensure ease of access and protection from loss or damage 3.2 Damage to schematics and drawings is reported according to workplace procedures |
This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
Electrical circuit information must include: | symbols wiring codes legends diagrammatic representations. |
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in the unit’s elements and performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
read, interpret and apply information from three different vehicle, vessel or machinery wiring schematics and diagrams when testing and fault finding their electrical wiring systems.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
types of information in wiring schematics and drawings, including:
circuit symbols
wiring codes
vehicle zone tables
legends
diagrammatic representations
key components of wiring schematics and drawings, including:
vehicle wiring schematics
electrical component symbols
electrical operational block schematics
controller area network databus (CAN-bus) circuit diagrams
vehicle zoning information tables
electrical component drawings
connector drawings that include connector end view drawings
procedures for identifying currency and version control of wiring schematics and drawings
procedures for maintaining wiring schematics and drawings.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicle or machinery wiring schematics and drawings they have interpreted, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
wiring schematics and drawings relating to three different vehicles, vessels or machinery.
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.
