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

Evidence of the following is essential

plans effectively within tour constraints and guides and monitors group to maintain safety and group cohesion

applies effective modifications and contingency management techniques to deal with a range of problems or variable factors that arise during offhighway motorcycling tours

encourages and responds to group feedback and evaluates and reflects on own guiding performance to identify strengths weaknesses and areas that need improvement

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure leading day and or overnight offhighway motorcycling tours that are of sufficient breadth and duration to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

Assessment must also ensure access to

a location with suitable tracks and trails for day and or overnight offhighway motorcycle tours

participants to take part in tour

offhighway motorcycles and equipment such as helmets lights reflectors protective clothing and footwear

resources and information regarding participants and location to accurately plan guide and document offhighway motorcycling tours for a variety of participants

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

observation of interacting with participants including conveying information for safe participation

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the application of relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures to enable safe conduct of all offhighway motorcycling activities throughout tour

observation of dealing with contingencies such as changing weather conditions and equipment failure

review of motorcycling tour plans

thirdparty reports from a supervisor detailing performance

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example
