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:

interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations

correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment

follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

correctly assemble and prepare a minimum of two (2) competition vehicles covering each of the following:

install electrical/electronic systems

install fluid/pneumatic/fire systems

conduct post-assembly checks

set vehicle baseline configuration

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment.

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:

work instructions and deadlines

computing, operational and inventory support systems

material, equipment and work specifications information

customer requirements

organisational procedures

safety procedures and regulations

quality standards.

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

literacy skills to the level required collect, organise and understand information related to competition vehicle assembly and preparation, team requirements, manufacturer/component supplier specifications, plans and safety procedures

numeracy skills to the level required to use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and calculations required during assembly of a competition vehicle

problem-solving skills to the level required to use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate assembly problems in order to work efficiently and effectively

team skills to the level required to work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity within strict timeframes

planning skills to the level required to plan and organise activities, including preparation and layout of the work area, and the coordination of equipment, systems and material to avoid backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
