Remove and refit driveline components

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


The unit applies to all types of driveline components fitted to light vehicles, which includes 4WD vehicles and light commercial vehicles.

The unit includes identification and confirmation of work requirement, preparation for work, removal and refitting of driveline components and completion of work finalisation processes, including clean-up and documentation.

Work involves removing and refitting various driveline system components to carry out required rectification procedures for steering and suspension systems.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem-solving skills in undertaking environmentally sound work practices.

Work is carried out in accordance with award provisions.

This unit covers the competence required to remove and refit driveline components during rectification of faults in steering and suspension systems.

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

Employability Skills

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, 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

Competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual circumstances in the critical aspects of:

observing safety procedures and requirements

communicating effectively with others involved in or affected by the work

selecting methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances

completing preparatory activity in a systematic manner

conducting removal and refitting in accordance with workplace and manufacturer/component supplier requirements

accurately interpreting test results

completing removal and refitting of driveline components and associated components within workplace timeframes

equipment is presented to customer in compliance with workplace requirements

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Application of competence is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated worksite

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with regulatory requirements, including Australian Standards

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

material relevant to the removal and refitting of driveline components

equipment, hand and power tooling appropriate to the removal and refitting of driveline components

activities covering mandatory task requirements

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the automotive industry's RS&R Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competence is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying quality circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements

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