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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge.

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to:

identify automotive mechanical systems and components

source relevant technical information

locate mechanical systems and components on modern motor vehicles

explain the function of at least three major systems of a modern motor vehicle

demonstrate basic knowledge of possible causes of faults or problems with vehicle systems.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment is to occur:

using standard workplace practices and procedures

following safety requirements

applying environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant:

regulatory requirements

Australian standards

industry codes of practice.

The following resources must be made available for the assessment of this unit:

workplace location or simulated workplace

technical reference information

a range of functioning automotive systems and components

vehicles relevant to the qualification being sought

automotive tools and equipment

personal protective equipment and workplace safety equipment.

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 the 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 correct interpretation and application.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other units which together form part of a holistic work role.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate the needs of diverse clients.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

communicate ideas and information in verbal and written report

use questioning and active listening skills, e.g. when clarifying information

initiative and enterprise skills to identify sources of information, assistance and expert knowledge to expand knowledge, skills and understanding

understand workplace safety-related procedures

read and follow information in written instructions, specifications and other applicable reference documents

numeracy skills to use and communicate basic mathematical ideas and techniques that relate to automotive systems and components

planning and organising skills to:

identify risk factors

plan and organise activities that implement and follow standard procedures

problem-solving skills to:

recognise a workplace problem or a potential problem

refer problems outside area of responsibility to appropriate person

self-management skills to:

recognise limitations and seek timely advice
