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, the Range Statement and the Assessment section in Section B of the accreditation submission.

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 and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:

calculate the mass and dimension of work function pertaining to the job role using fractions, percentages and mixed numbers

demonstrate the calculation of a load limit

interpret and analyse a workplace mathematical symbol

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

Method of assessment

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate assessments using written, practical and oral assessments

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment consistent with current industry practice, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required knowledge:

Relevant OH&S responsibilities

Advanced mathematical operations and techniques

Ways of representing advanced and complex mathematical information

Procedures for identifying and using relevant workplace technology when carrying out workplace calculations

Advanced mathematical problems, and appropriate action and solutions

Required skills:

Interpret and follow operational instructions and prioritise work

Complete documentation relating to work activities

Work collaboratively with others when carrying out advanced workplace calculations

Modify activities depending on differing operational contingencies and environments

Work systematically with required attention to detail

Operate and adapt to differences in equipment in accordance with standard operating procedures

Estimate working load limits

Make accurate estimates in a range of situations in the transport and logistics and heavy recovery industry

Complex numeracy around job functions within transport and logistics

Reading complex legislative and regulatory requirements

using ratios and proportion and applying rates

using multiple pieces of mathematical information to perform complex mathematical processes

reading complex dials and indicators, non standard units of measurement, metric and imperial unit conversion, more advanced time estimates

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any 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.

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.
