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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements including the isolation of equipment and the use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection processes to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage and wastage of goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Diagnose gas fuel system faults including one fault from each category listed below

poor engine performance

increased emission levels

impact of a prior system modification

incorrect installation of the gas system

caused by an influence from an external system

Accurately record and report the diagnostic process and findings and recommended rectification

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment material work instructions and deadlines

Access to a realistic requirement and objectives for analysis and evaluation operational gas fuel systems with real or simulated faults monitoring processes and testing equipment appropriate to the objectives research facilities and technical information and a realistic work environment

Method of assessment

Assessment of this competency is most likely to be project related under real or simulated conditions and require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of process Direct evidence may include certification of compliance of the final outcomeproduct or authorisation for use by a competent authority

Assessment must confirm the inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstances but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role
