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 steering, suspension and braking system components that they have removed and tagged, 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:
- task instructions
- manufacturer steering, suspension and braking component specifications
- vehicle with the components specified in the performance evidence requiring replacement and refitting
- tools, equipment and materials for replacing and refitting steering, suspension and braking system components
- PPE required to replace and refit steering, suspension and braking system components
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
