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

Evidence of the following is essential:

identifies off-highway motorcycle features, parts and tools correctly

refers to appropriate sources regarding off-highway motorcycle selection to select a suitable motorcycle that meets the needs, size and proportions of the rider

follows written and verbal instructions to accurately apply knowledge of correct off-highway motorcycle functioning and safety based on the manufacturers recommendations

selects and safely utilises tools to repair common off-highway motorcycle deficiencies such as dirty oil and air filters and punctured tyres or refers motorcycle to be serviced as required.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure application of routine checks, maintenance and repairs that are of sufficient breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

resources, such as relevant information on off-highway motorcycle selection

off-highway motorcycles in a suitable outdoor environment that allows motorcycle repairs and maintenance to take place

personal protective equipment

appropriate equipment, such as off-highway motorcycle tools, repair kits and spare parts.

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:

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the application of relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures

observation of pre-routine safety checks of off-highway motorcycle parts and appropriate repairs made to any deficiency

observation of safe participation and demonstration of repair and maintenance skills, such as a puncture repair

portfolio showing evidence of research into off-highway motorcycle options.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SISOTBR202A Demonstrate basic off- highway motorcycling skills.
