Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to demonstrate initiative and effectively manage their own workload and professional development while engaged in the management of aviation maintenance and/or related integrated logistic support activities.

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.
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.
Competency in this unit underpins competency in other aspects of the workplace role of employees with managerial responsibilities in aviation maintenance and related integrated logistic support activities. It may be appropriate to assess parts of this unit in conjunction with units relating to the performance of such aspects of the role.

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 candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
