Evidence Required

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to

comply with WHS requirements and safe work practices

ensure electrical and mechanical integrity of the DC to DC converter is maintained when performing tests

diagnose the operation of the DC to DC converter against manufacturer specifications

remove and replace or repair the DC to DC converter

complete relevant documentation for the diagnosis and repair of the DC to DC converter

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting

Assessment is to occur

using standard workplace practices and procedures

following safety requirements

applying environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with relevant

regulatory requirements

Australian standards

industry codes of practice

Competency is to be assessed using a BEV that uses HV and LV ACDC electrical systems Where simulation is used an operational BEV must be included in the simulation

The following resources must be made available for the assessment of this unit

appropriate PPE

a BEV

manufacturer specifications for the BEV

testing equipment

full range of essential tools and equipment

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 the 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 correct interpretation and application

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

Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate the needs of diverse clients

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