Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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:

communicate effectively with customer to determine requirements

apply mechanical principles and measurements to design a bicycle frame to meet client requirements

select frame components, materials and equipment to meet design requirements

observe safety procedures and requirements

use appropriate construction procedures and techniques to build a bicycle frame to design specifications.

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:

a range of bicycle frame parts and components

equipment and tools appropriate to constructing bicycle frames

BikeCAD or other design tools

technical specifications and standards

workplace documentation.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

technical skills to the level required to use appropriate software, tools and equipment to design and build a bicycle frame

literacy skills to the level required to research information related to bicycle frame design and components and interpret technical information and specifications

numeracy skills to the level required to correctly complete tests and measurements, calculate ratios and interpret specifications

problem-solving skills to the level required to apply bicycle design principles and measurements to specify and select suitable components for a custom bicycle frame and recognise design features that detract from durability

team skills to the level required to work effectively and cooperatively with others to optimise workflow and productivity

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

purpose and requirements of bicycle frame systems and their relationship to braking, wheels, drivetrain and steering system

classification of bicycle frames and identification of system components

materials used in bicycle frames

application of frame design principles

causes of frame failures and design alternatives to reduce likelihood of failure
