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

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of practical demonstration in the workplace or in a simulated environment conducting minor maintenance and repairs on waste processing plant and equipment

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to

organise and conduct maintenance and repairs of waste processing plant and equipment

assess performance characteristics of plant equipment and materials

secure availability of plant equipment and materials

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an offsite context It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards requirements

Resource implications for assessment include

work plans and approved specifications

forms and procedures manuals

reports

Method of assessment

Minor maintenance and repairs on waste processing plant and equipment must be undertaken in line with industry expectations in the particular client environment If the environment is narrowly defined or is not representative of industry needs it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies of a variety of maintenance and repair requirements to assess competency in minor maintenance and repairs

Assessment methods must

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments

Guidance information for assessment

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources and the provision of appropriate assessment support

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units of competency relevant to the job function for example
