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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations
correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment
follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment
achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards
correctly determine material suitability for a minimum of two (2) competition vehicle components. At least one (1) component must be made from metal and one (1) from a composite material. Each of the following must be covered:
selection, development and recording of material and component performance specifications and evaluation criteria before undertaking component production and testing
selection, development and validation of component production methodology, processes and specifications
application of the component production specifications and testing against predetermined criteria
recording and reporting of outcomes
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 process equipment, material, work instructions and deadlines.
Access to competition vehicles and associated assembly tooling in real or simulated situations involving the application of assembly techniques and to the related computing, operational and inventory support systems.
Access to material, testing equipment and fabrication equipment to confirm component appropriateness.
Access to real or simulated work areas, material, equipment and information on work specifications, customer requirements, organisational procedures, safety procedures and regulations and quality standards.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
