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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Calculate fuel consumption and storage | 1.1 | Information required for calculations related to fuel consumption and storage is obtained from relevant sources |
1.2 | Calculations are completed to accepted working tolerances |
1.3 | Results of calculations are verified |
1.4 | Results of calculations are applied to managing fuel as required |
2 | Complete calculations related to engine performance | 2.1 | Information required for calculations related to engine performance is obtained from relevant sources |
2.2 | Calculations are completed to accepted working tolerances |
2.3 | Results of calculations are verified |
2.4 | Results of calculations are applied to managing engine performance as required |

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
area and circumference of a circle
calibration tables
common SI units such as kilogram, tonne, Newton, Newton metre, Pascal, joule, watt and metre
relationship between theoretical vessel speed, propeller pitch and revolutions per minute (RPM)

work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and work practices.
Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements.
Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Resources for assessment must include access to:
tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
applicable documentation such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals
range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations.
