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 or others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly determine material suitability for a minimum of two (2) competition vehicle components. At least one (1) component must be made from metal and one (1) from a composite material. Each of the following must be covered:

selection, development and recording of material and component performance specifications and evaluation criteria before undertaking component production and testing

selection, development and validation of component production methodology, processes and specifications

application of the component production specifications and testing against predetermined criteria

recording and reporting of outcomes

work effectively with others

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

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, material, work instructions and deadlines.

Access to competition vehicles and associated assembly tooling in real or simulated situations involving the application of assembly techniques and to the related computing, operational and inventory support systems.

Access to material, testing equipment and fabrication equipment to confirm component appropriateness.

Access to real or simulated work areas, material, equipment and information on work specifications, customer requirements, organisational procedures, safety procedures and regulations and quality standards.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

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:

research, collect, organise and understand information related to the suitability of material for competition vehicle components including the technical, regulatory, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of requirements, coordination of work with supervisors and other workers and the reporting of work outcomes and resolution of problems

plan and organise activities including the development of specifications, checklists and schedules and the coordination of appropriate persons, equipment, systems and material to avoid back-tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise communication, workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate technical specifications, calibrate and establish test equipment and evaluate test results against pre-established criteria

create and apply systematic problem-solving techniques to anticipate problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage

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.
