Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

assessing risks and applying skills for crash avoidance and management while riding assisting learner riders to develop lowrisk riding behaviours communicating effectively with others from all ages, educational backgrounds, diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences completing and maintaining documentation dealing with and adjusting to diverse riding environments delivering information about instructions, procedures and other information relevant to riding a motorcycle demonstrating road positioning, speed and traffic management skills demonstrating slow speed manoeuvres demonstrating time and space management in a range of traffic situations to accommodate other road users engaging and motivating learner riders guiding and controlling a motorcycle while instructing a learner rider identifying hazards and human factors that may impact on riding situations and implementing responsive safe motorcycle riding practices implementing contingency plans implementing work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and practices when: conducting prestart-up checks anticipating and identifying hazards minimising, controlling or eliminating hazards observing and interpreting learner rider behaviour that may put people at risk locating and complying with appropriate legislative, regulatory and procedural requirements making correct response judgements maintaining personal skill development maintaining records of learner progress managing time effectively to: ensure all learning objectives are covered pace learning modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments monitoring learner rider progress by: assessing learner rider interaction with others identifying learner rider concerns monitoring learner rider acquisition of new skills, knowledge and competency requirements recognising learner rider readiness to take on new skills and tasks monitoring motorcycle performance and taking appropriate action as required negotiating complex traffic and road conditions obeying road rules, making safe decisions in stressful situations, and instructing learner riders to take appropriate action observing and interpreting the riding behaviour of others reading and analysing learner rider information reading and following learning programs and plans recognising and interpreting road signs and signals, and implementing pertinent action to enable safe motorcycle riding reporting promptly and/or rectifying identified problems, faults or malfunctions responding appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace teaching, facilitating learning and demonstrating skills in the development of safe motorcycle riding behaviours, using a learner-centred approach using relevant state/territory rider licensing and testing standards using verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to: ask relevant and appropriate questions demonstrate skills listen provide explanations provide clear information working effectively with learner riders by: establishing trust maintaining a calm demeanour maintaining appropriate relationships maintaining tolerance providing constructive feedback recognising and being sensitive to individual difference and diversity using appropriate body language working collaboratively with other road users when riding a motorcycle.
