Conditions
    Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
    
    Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the tools and equipment that they have used and maintained, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
· automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
· workplace instructions
· workplace hand and power tools and equipment as specified in the performance evidence
· PPE required to use workplace tools and equipment
· vehicles, components or materials that require the use of tools and equipment

    Terminology used
    The following terms are used in each assessment task to guide the student and assessor as to what is expected from each assessment task:
1. Instructions: Provides a brief description about the assessment task and broadly indicates what the Student is required to do.
2. Conditions of assessment: Outlines the conditions in which the assessment must be undertaken. In some cases, it will give options for the student about what to base the assessment task on and whether it is practical demonstration or project.
3. Description of task/decision making rules: Advises the student and the assessor of the task description and the criteria that the assessment must meet in order for a satisfactory result to be awarded.
4. Due Date - the date on which assessment falls due.
    Completing the assessments/Ex pectations
    Assessors must ensure that students completely understand the assessment process and various assessment tasks before undertaking the assessments. This assessment tool is structured in a way that each assessment task clearly outlines the:
· Instructions for completing the assessment task;
· Conditions in which the assessment must be conducted;
    
    · Evidence that must be presented by the student; and
· Decision-making rules by which the evidence will be judged.
Every assessment task will require satisfactory completion in order for students to be deemed Competent. The students will need to adhere to any guidelines on length of answers required where stipulated. Please note, a paragraph is three or more sentences.
This unit is being offered as a part of Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology. You will not qualify to receive Certificate of completion until you attain competency in all the units offered as part of
this qualification.
    Assessment
    Each assessment task has a section for the assessor recording the assessment outcome as either ‘Satisfactory’ (S) or ‘Not Satisfactory’ (NS). Once the student satisfactorily completes all assessment tasks, the assessor will complete the assessment summary cover sheet and record either a “Competent” (C) or “Not Competent” (NC) outcome.
When awarding any assessment result, assessors must ensure that feedback for the student is recorded in the spaces provided after each assessment
task and on the record of assessment outcome.

    Required resources
    Each assessment task in this assessment tool outlines specific resources that the student must have access to as part of the assessment process. Assessors must ensure that students have appropriate access to these
resources before any assessment is conducted.
    Reasonable adjustment
    Acumen Education enables reasonable adjustments to be made to assessment procedures for students with special needs, such as people with disabilities or with language or literacy difficulties. Assessing knowledge is usually assessed through written or oral, short-answer tests where assessors seek to determine the extent of the student’s knowledge.
Following are some of the examples of adjustments that can be made for the students:
· Ask questions orally instead of in a written format
· Provide equipment such as text enlargers, image enhancers, and voice recorders.
· Give the student more time to complete the assessment;, allocate a different time for completion of the assessment;
· Offer a separate, quiet room.
· Modifying or providing equipment
· Adapting delivery strategies
· Ensuring    that    course    activities    are    sufficiently    flexible,    providing additional support to student where necessary
· Customising resources and activities within the training package or accredited course
· Monitoring the adjustments to ensure student needs continue to be met
