Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
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 | It is essential that competence is fully observed and there is ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual situations in the critical aspects of: observing safety procedures and requirements communicating effectively with others involved in or affected by the work selecting methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances completing preparatory activity in a systematic manner. Carry out repairs to electrical circuits covering open and short circuits and earthing, ensuring: safe and correct use of tooling and equipment isolating power supply to components testing and identification of faults electrical connections, including crimping and soldering to specification electrical repairs to specification. |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | Application of competence is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated worksite. Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment is to comply with regulatory requirements, including Australian Standards. The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace material relevant to repairing electrical circuits equipment, hand and power tooling appropriate to repairing electrical circuits activities covering mandatory task requirements specifications and work instructions. |
Method of assessment | Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of AUR05 Automotive Industry Retail, Service and Repair Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and must reinforce the integration of key competencies Assessment may be applied under project related conditions and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competence is able to be under the particular circumstance, and is able to be transferred to other circumstances It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying quality circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, plans and safety procedures for circuit and component testing, and repair/component replacement technical literacy and communication skills sufficient to interpret and apply common industry terminology, and interpret technical information and specifications research and interpretive skills to locate, interpret and apply operational and safety information communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plain English literacy and communication skills in relation to dealing with others involved in the work questioning and active listening skills, for example when obtaining information on electrical repairs/replacement procedures plan and organise activities, including preparation and layout of worksite and obtaining of equipment and material to avoid backtracking or workflow interruptions work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete tests and measurements to determine electrical circuit/ component repair/replacement requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate planning and scheduling problems and avoid wastage of time and material manipulative and dexterity skills to perform electrical testing and repair/replacement procedures problem-solving skills for a range of procedural issues use workplace technology related to repairing electrical circuits, including use of specialist tooling, measuring equipment, computerised technology and communication devices and the reporting/documenting of results |
Required knowledge |

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
