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 vehicles or machinery 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:
- automotive workplace or simulated workplace
- workshop or task instructions
- information regarding basic mechanical principles and fundamentals
- information regarding vehicle mechanical systems and components
- workplace safety equipment, including PPE
- vehicle or a range of automotive mechanical systems and components
- automotive tools and equipment.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
