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:
identify and source relevant technical information
gather and evaluate mathematical information relating to the problem or job requirement
devise and implement mathematical and numerical solutions for a minimum of three key vehicle or workplace functions
demonstrate mathematical and numerical solutions in workplace documentation.
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:
using standard workplace practices and procedures
following safety requirements
applying environmental constraints
Assessment is to comply with relevant:
regulatory requirements
Australian standards
industry codes of practice
The following resources should be made available:
a workplace or simulated workplace
documentation, such as workshop manuals, vehicle repair information, enterprise or sample documents, invoices, statements, stock records, job cards, repair quotations, personnel records, time sheets and supply quotations
equipment for calculations, such as calculators or computers.
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.
