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, 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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge.

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to:

demonstrate knowledge of environmental regulations and best practice as they would apply in an automotive workplace or business

identify materials used in an automotive business and assess their environmental impact

identify sustainability practices in an automotive workplace.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment is to occur:

using standard workplace practices and procedures

following safety requirements

applying environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant:

regulatory requirements

Australian standards

industry codes of practice.

The following resources must be made available for the assessment of this unit:

access to environmental legislation, regulations and best practice models

access to an automotive workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects automotive workshop working conditions

access to workplace documents and reference images

access to personal protective and environmental protection equipment of the type intended to be used in response to an environmental incident or accident.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with the application of required skills and knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on required skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other units which together form part of a holistic work role.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate the needs of diverse clients.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

literacy skills to:

read and interpret workplace environmental procedures

read and interpret information in written instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents

numeracy skills to measure and calculate length, area and volume

planning and organising skills to:

identify risk factors and actions to minimise risk

identify planning, checking and inspection techniques to avoid environmental contamination and wastage

problem-solving skills to:

recognise a workplace problem or a potential problem

refer problems outside area of responsibility to appropriate person and suggest possible causes

identify processes which contribute to improvements for environmental issues

self-management skills to:

identify appropriate safety and environmental response equipment, materials, processes and procedures

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
