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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations

correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment

follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly fasten a minimum of six (6) different components/sub-assemblies which include:

identifying compatibility/incompatibility of materials, adhesives, fittings and fasteners for the application

selecting and applying assembly, torquing and fastening techniques

ensuring that the assembly satisfies the specification

and where the components/sub-assemblies necessitate, the use of a range of fasteners, sealants and fasteners securing devices

work effectively with others

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

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

The following resources should be made available:

process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines

access to components, fasteners, assemblies, tools and equipment.

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 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 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.

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

Guidance information for assessment

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

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.

Required skills

Required skills include:

technical skills to the level required to use the workplace technology related to torquing and fastening, including tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

literacy skills to the level required to collect, organise and understand information related to torquing and fastening operations, work orders, plans, checklists and safety procedures

numeracy skills to the level required to use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and procedures to team specifications

problem-solving skills to the level required to use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate torquing and fastening problems in order to work efficiently and effectively

team skills to the level required to work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

planning skills to the level required to plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
