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

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

interpret workplace instructions and locate and apply information

apply safety requirements including the use of personal protective equipment

identify and select appropriate diagnosis processes to be performed

complete diagnosis of complex faults on a minimum of three different engine management systems with real or simulated faults

document and report outcomes and required actions of diagnosis of complex faults in engine management systems

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 must be made available for the assessment of this unit

workplace location or simulated workplace

vehicles systems with real or simulated engine management system faults

tools and equipment appropriate for the diagnosis of complex faults in engine management systems

technical reference information and workplace instructions

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
