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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to plan and implement aviation maintenance activities and evaluate and report on the outcome of the activities while complying with all relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that maintenance requirements are fully identified and that all applicable aspects of planning and implementation are identified and applied to meet organisational priorities and minimise workplace disruptions.

Evidence is required of underlying knowledge and skills in the planning and implementation of maintenance activities, and in the associated compliance with airworthiness regulatory requirements.

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved on a task representative of Groups 1 to 7 in the Range Statement. This shall be established via simulated activities at the CASR Part 147 MTO and performance during supervised workplace activities.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed under supervision without intervention in the work environment, and/or by use of simulated activities in a CASR Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO), covering the full range of maintenance planning and implementation.

Method of assessment

This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the exercise of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence or Aircraft Maintenance Specialist Certificate privileges in the actual maintenance of aircraft.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

application of the procedures for the identification of specific maintenance requirements through the review of:

maintenance releases
