Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant OH&S, environmental legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and enterprise policies and procedures

maintaining a working knowledge of current work systems and practices

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

identifying and following OH&S and environmental policies and procedures

correctly selecting and using personal protective equipment

applying approved manual handling techniques

responding effectively to hazards and potential hazards in the workplace

completing incident/accident reports correctly

following enterprise emergency procedures

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

underpinning skill, knowledge and attitudes for each unit of competency in each work area, and for specific job roles within work areas, will differ between enterprises, and will alter from time to time depending on factors such as changes in equipment, technology and culture

before skill, knowledge and attitudes development and assessment of the trainee begins, key operators in the area, in conjunction with trainers, union representatives and other stakeholders, must list the underpinning knowledge, skill and attitudes required to perform the unit competently (to standard). This will be used as a guide for training and assessment

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

assessment of the underpinning knowledge should be combined with assessment of the skill

assessment of the underpinning knowledge may take place on- or off-the-job

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process.

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:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related 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.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed.
