Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently

observe safety procedures and requirements

communicate effectively with customer to determine requirements

recommend bicycle types to suit customer requirements

identify and assess variables that affect cycling comfort stability efficiency and aerodynamics

complete adjustment of components to optimise cycling comfort stability efficiency and aerodynamics

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment

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

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements including specified Australian standards

Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity age gender demographics and disability

The following resources should be made available

a range of bicycle models and components

equipment and tools appropriate to adjusting bicycles

technical specifications and standards

workplace documentation

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and Knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under projectrelated conditions real or simulated and require evidence of process

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

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

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed
