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 marine steering systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair 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:
- marine repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer steering system specifications
- marine vessels with faults in the steering systems specified in the performance evidence
- diagnostic equipment for marine steering systems
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing and adjusting marine steering systems.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
