EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to interpret and apply quality systems in the workplace and interface quality requirement with OH&S procedures and identification systems for aircraft hardware, materials and components.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The relationship between broader quality standards requirements and service specific procedures must be clearly linked. It is essential that actual and potential defects within the quality system are considered, together with ongoing abnormalities of equipment or systems as they affect the quality system.
Evidence of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the general application of quality standards is required to supplement evidence of ability to integrate these processes in conjunction with other personnel in the workplace.
A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the Unit of Competency are being achieved under routine supervision in both single and multiple tasks involving more than one person. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry .
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be assessed in the work environment, or by use of simulated activities, covering the application of quality standards in situations within the aircraft maintenance environment.
This unit must be related in its assessment and application to all other units.
