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 | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to maintain/service analog/digital electronic equipment. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with maintaining/servicing analog/digital electronic equipment, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

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 |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: following relevant circuit diagrams, manuals, specifications, schematics, maintenance records, supplier catalogues etc. locating and reading/recording built-in fault indicators obtaining error code interpretation documents running test functions and recording faults and/or equipment status indicated by built-in test functions/displays checking electronic equipment/sub-assemblies, components, connections and terminations for conformance to specifications removing and replacing components from the electronic equipment isolating electronic sub-assembly from the power supply adjusting/tuning and calibrating electronic equipment/sub-assemblies returning to service and specification of electronic equipment/sub-assembly recording test results |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: function(s) of the electronic equipment electrical principles associated with electronic sub-assemblies implications of electro-static discharge (ESD) upon the electronic equipment procedures for running built-in test functions errors indicated by built-in devices procedures for recording faults and/or equipment status identified by built-in test functions/displays safe work practices and procedures procedures for checking the following for compliance with specifications: electronic equipment/sub-assemblies, components, connections, terminations tools and techniques to be used to remove/replace components from/into electronic equipment procedures for removing faulty components from electronic equipment procedures for fitting replacement components into electronic equipment operational specifications of the electronic equipment equipment and techniques to be used to test the electronic equipment procedures for testing electronic equipment procedures for recording electronic equipment test results procedures for isolating electronic equipment/sub-assemblies electrical hazards associated with electronic sub-assemblies procedures, tools, equipment and techniques to be used to adjust/tune and calibrate the electronic equipment/sub-assembly operational specifications of the electronic equipment/sub-assembly procedures equipment and techniques to be used to return the electronic equipment/sub-assembly back into service procedures for recording/documenting the maintenance servicing of the electronic equipment/sub-assembly procedures, test equipment and techniques to be used to check the electronic equipment/sub-assembly for conformance to specification |
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. | |
Electronic equipment | Amplifiers, analogue/digital hardware, communication, consumer audio/video, electronic appliances, scanning systems, security/fire systems, power supplies and test equipment etc. |
Components | Discrete component, circuit boards, connectors, plug-in items, power supplies and the like |
Test equipment | Includes the use of voltmeters, ammeters, cathode ray oscilloscopes, frequency counters, continuity testers etc. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
