communication skills to the level required to communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of requirements coordination of work with supervisors and other workers and to report work outcomes and resolution of problems

literacy skills to the level required to collect organise and understand information related to the analysis and repair of complex performance driveline systems including technical regulatory environmental and safety requirements

numeracy skills to the level required to use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and calculations required during the analysis and repair of complex performance driveline systems

problemsolving skills to the level required to create and apply systematic diagnostic and problemsolving techniques to anticipate problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

team skills to the level required to work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise communication workflow and productivity

planning skills to the level required to plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the coordination of equipment systems and material to avoid backtracking workflow interruptions or wastage

equipment safety requirements

OHS policies and procedures

applicable commonwealth state or territory legislation regulations standards and codes of practice including OHS personal safety and environment relevant to complex fuel systems

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently

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

apply safety requirements including the isolation of equipment and the use of personal protective equipment

follow task instructions operating procedures and inspection processes to

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly analyse repair and conduct postrepair checks on a minimum of four driveline systems faults which could involve

selection noise vibration harshness or slipping faults

faults which give the same effects but may have multiple causes

the scope of the faults necessitates the use of a range of testing equipment

work effectively with others

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

access to competition vehicles driveline systems and associated test instruments

material and equipment

information on work specifications

team requirements

organisational procedures

safety procedures regulations and 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
