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 apply hand skills, use maintenance publications and apply borescope inspection techniques to inspect piston or gas turbine engine internal components on fixed or rotary wing aircraft or in workshops while applying all relevant safety precautions.

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

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of remote visual inspection applications associated with internal engine components. It is essential that inspection procedures take into account all safety precautions associated with borescope inspection techniques and the applicable engine.

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to borescope inspection and assessment of results is essential. This may be demonstrated through application across a number of engine types. Ability to interpret inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits) and apply them in practice is critical.

Demonstrated knowledge of both borescope inspection techniques and of the subject engine will be necessary before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.

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 Ccompetency are being achieved under routine supervision on representative range of borescope inspection tasks. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement, or where appropriate, an equivalent Industry .

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that general purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

selecting applicable borescope equipment and assembling it for use

identifying required borescope inspections and required techniques using applicable maintenance data

setting up the applicable system component or engine in accordance with applicable maintenance data for safe borescope inspection

applying borescope inspection techniques to safely perform required inspections without damage to engine components

identifying and correctly assessing and reporting/recording defect indications

maintaining and correctly storing borescope equipment after use

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

types of borescope and their applications

how to assemble borescope equipment and prepare it for use

use of associated imaging and recording equipment, such as video and digital camera

use of maintenance data to identify borescope inspection requirements

borescope inspection techniques and safety
