Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to having constructed basic electronic circuits, e.g. circuit diagrams.

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, including a safe work area for constructing electronic circuit boards

personal protective equipment appropriate to the workplace, including safety glasses

electronic components and materials, including:

heat sinks

electronic wiring

terminals

solders

switches

lamps

relays

diodes

resistors

capacitors

transistors.
