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 worksite operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria required skills and knowledge and the range statement of this unit and include evidence of the following

knowledge of the requirements procedures and instructions for the establishing and maintenance of maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment

implementation of procedures and techniques for the safe effective and efficient establishing and maintaining of maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment

the identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes

the identification of viable program options and the selection of programs that best meet the required outcomes

working with others to establish and maintain maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment

consistent and timely establishing and maintaining of maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit must be assessed in the context of the work environment Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance including task skills task management skills contingency management skills and job role environment skills

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the participant For example language literacy and numeracy demands of assessment should not be greater than those required on the job

Customisation of assessment and delivery environment to sensitively accommodate cultural diversity

Aboriginal people and other people from a non English speaking background may have second language issues

Assessment of this competency requires typical resources normally used in the work environment Selection and use of resources for particular worksites may differ due to site circumstances

Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed in a holistic way with other units of competency The assessment strategy for this unit must verify required knowledge and skill and practical application using more than one of the following assessment methods

written andor oral assessment of the candidates required knowledge

observed documented andor first hand testimonial evidence of the candidates

implementation of appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe effective and efficient achievement of the required outcomes

identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required

identification of viable options and the selection of option that best meet the required outcomes

consistently achieving the required outcomes

first hand testimonial and documentary evidence of the candidates

working with others to establishing and maintaining of maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment

consistent and timely gaining of approval of maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment

provision of clear timely required support and advice on the implementation of maintenance management system for mechanical plant and equipment
