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 starting 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:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer specifications for vehicle, vessel or machinery starting systems

two different vehicles, vessels or machinery with starting system faults

diagnostic equipment for vehicle, vessel or machinery starting systems, including multimeter

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing vehicle, vessel or machinery starting systems.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
