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

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Implement environmental regulations and best practice

Identify materials used in an automotive workplace or business and assess their environmental impact

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage and wastage of goods, equipment and products

maintain production output and product quality

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Use of a spill kit

Conduct operator maintenance on tooling and equipment to ensure environmental efficiency

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines

The following resources should be made available:

an automotive mechanical workplace or business with a range of vehicles or mechanical components

spill kits, recycling drums, vacuum cleaners/brooms/mop and bucket, quick break degreasing agents, undercover bunded or drained areas liquid, sludge and solid wastes

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and should be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competence

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills
