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

interpret and apply team requirements controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations

correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment

follow task instructions operating procedures and inspection processes to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly assemble and prepare a minimum of two competition vehicles covering each of the following

install electricalelectronic systems

install fluidpneumaticfire systems

conduct postassembly checks

set vehicle baseline configuration

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

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

work instructions and deadlines

computing operational and inventory support systems

material equipment and work specifications information

customer requirements

organisational procedures

safety procedures and regulations

quality standards

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
