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 having provided a quotation relating to a vehicle or machinery modification, e.g. quotations.
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
three different vehicles or machinery requiring estimates and quotes relating to mechanical and electrical system or body enhancement modifications
OEM specifications and workplace procedures
labour time guides
office equipment, including calculators, computer, internet and software
manufacturer and component refurbishing costing guides.
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.
