Assessment Conditions
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the bicycle suspension systems that they have serviced, e.g. service orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
- bicycle workplace or simulated workplace, including location to test bicycle suspension system
- workplace instructions detailing job requirements
- manufacturer specifications for suspension systems
- PPE required to service bicycle suspension systems
- three different bicycle suspension systems specified in the performance evidence and requiring servicing and testing
- tools and equipment appropriate for servicing bicycle suspension systems.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
