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 | Plan the work | 1.1 | Review the requirements of the work, including insurance requirements and customer needs |
| 1.2 | Examine the suspect timber and confirm it is affected by dry rot |
| 1.3 | Establish the possible cause, extent and impact on structural integrity of the dry rot |
| 1.4 | Determine what needs to be done and how to do it |
| 1.5 | Check required tools and jigs are available at the worksite |
| 1.6 | Check required materials and components are available at the worksite |
| 1.7 | Identify any hazards and the related hazard controls |
| 1.8 | Check that hazard controls are in place and operational |
| 1.9 | Query any items that are different to usual and clarify requirements |
2 | Expose and remove the dry rot in accordance with devised procedures | 2.1 | Use relevant hazard controls, including personal protective equipment (PPE) |
| 2.2 | Remove items as required to expose the dry rot, maximising the potential for reuse |
| 2.3 | Temporarily store items which are to be reused |
| 2.4 | Examine all removed items and the adjacent parts of the caravan which have been revealed |
| 2.5 | Remove damaged timber as required |
| 2.6 | Identify any additional damage revealed and decide how it can be made good |
| 2.7 | Negotiate with customer over any changes in job scope and cost |
| 2.8 | Segregate and handle waste in accordance with procedures |
3 | Treat and replace damaged timber in accordance with devised procedures | 3.1 | Use relevant hazard controls, including PPE |
| 3.2 | Treat remaining timber as required |
| 3.3 | Replace removed timber ensuring adequate structural integrity |
| 3.4 | Trim as required |
| 3.5 | Ensure new timber is attached as required |
4 | Rectify cause of dry rot | 4.1 | Identify source of water causing dry rot |
| 4.2 | Reseal to prevent ingress of water |
5 | Make good area of work in accordance with devised procedures | 5.1 | Reinstate/replace removed items |
| 5.2 | Check items are fixed appropriately |
| 5.3 | Apply seals/sealing materials as required |
| 5.4 | Trim as required |
| 5.5 | Check items function as intended and make adjustments as required |
6 | Finish dry rot repair | 6.1 | Check work undertaken and make any required adjustments |
| 6.2 | Clean up recreational vehicle and make ready for hand back to customer |
| 6.3 | Clean up work area, leaving it ready for the next job |
| 6.4 | Segregate and handle waste in accordance with procedures |
| 6.5 | Complete any required documentation/records |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
repair dry rot in at least three (3) recreational vehicles
interpret requirements and plan work
identify hazards and apply relevant hazard controls
recognise situations requiring action and take the appropriate action
communicate effectively with customers, team/work group and supervisors.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
hazards that may arise in the job/work environment
repair procedures and the reasons for those procedures
materials and tools to be used and their correct usage
checks and adjustments to be made.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operation
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report or other evidence, focusing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency
may use industry-based simulation for all or part of the unit particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
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.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
