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 | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to maintain engine lubrication systems. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with maintaining engine lubrication systems, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

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 |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents planning and sequencing operations checking task-related information checking for conformance to specification checking the lubrication system determining and recording oil flows, pressures and temperatures identifying faulty components using test equipment obtaining/interpreting the results of lubricating oil tests checking auxiliary lubrication systems for correct operation where appropriate selecting replacement components removing, refitting and adjusting lubrication system components reporting and recording test and work activities checking lubrication system components for wear and clearance undertaking calculations and numerical operations within the scope of this unit |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: the operation of the lubrication system the procedures for testing/checking lubrication hazards and control measures associated with checking and rectifying lubrication systems, including housekeeping the tests to be undertaken and equipment and techniques to be used to determine oil flows, pressures and temperatures the procedures for recording lubrication system test results the specifications of the lubrication system components the appropriate corrective action for faulty components the characteristics of lubricants and application of a variety of lubricants the procedures and reasons for analysing lubricating oil samples the likely causes of a range of out of specification test results the appropriate corrective action to be taken the implications of out of specification test results on maintenance schedules and requirements the reasons for installing auxiliary lubrication systems on diesel plant and equipment the operation of the auxiliary lubrication system the procedures for removing/replacing lubrication system components the procedures for adjusting lubrication systems the procedures for recording test and repair activities the procedures for checking lubrication systems for leaks the measuring equipment/techniques used to determine lubrication system component wear and clearances safe work practices and procedures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Faults | Typical symptoms of faults would be lubrication pressures/temperatures that are too low/high; excessive or too little consumption/flow, etc. |
Test equipment | Pressure/temperature and/or flow meters |
Adjustments | May include setting of bypass/regulating/relief valves to specified pressures of flows |
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.
