Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the required performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge and/or the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Collect and organise numerical information |
1.1. Relevant examples of numerical information are sourced 1.2. Numerical information is extracted from automotive workplace documents and compared to job requirements 1.3. Automotive mechanical text and related numerical information collected from other sources is checked and identified as relevant to task |
2. Interpret and present automotive numerical information |
2.1. Procedures are established for the interpretation of numerical information 2.2. Numerical information is identified and interpreted 2.3. Calculations are carried out to establish comparable numerical information 2.4. Calculations are checked for accuracy against numerical information 2.5. Numerical and related information is applied to inspection or repair activity 2.6. Evidence for interpretation of results is presented |
3. Prepare and present other workplace numerical and related information |
3.1. Information and workplace documents that support automotive workplace administrative functions are sourced 3.2. Quantities/resources required in the workplace are estimated 3.3. The time required to complete the task is estimated 3.4. Settings for equipment and machinery are estimated and adjusted 3.5. Estimates or calculations are documented according to workplace documentation procedures |

Overview of assessment |
|
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge. A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting. Assessment is to occur:
Assessment is to comply with relevant:
The following resources should be made available:
|
Method of assessment |
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package. Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with the application of required skills and knowledge. Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on required skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application. Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other units which together form part of a holistic work role. Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate the needs of diverse clients. Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. |
Range Statement
RANGE STATEMENT |
