EVIDENCE GUIDE

The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to
confirm competency for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and
should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement.

Critical aspects of
evidence

• prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

• achieve required outcomes within team time and quality

standards

• Correctly construct and test hose/pipe assemblies

according to application on a minimum of two (2)
occasions. Each of the following must be covered:

• identify suitable hose/pipe and fittings for the

application

• select and apply appropriate construction and assembly

techniques

• test assembly to required specification

• Work effectively with others

• Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace

context and environment

Underpinning knowledge

• Team requirements/job specifications, supplementary

regulations and component supplier specifications are
interpreted

• Types of and selection of hose/pipes and fittings. This may

include:

• sizing of hose/pipes and fittings (e.g. AN dash number,

SAE, NPT etc)

• swaged and re-useable fittings

EVIDENCE GUIDE

Underpinning skills

These include a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life, which are
required in most jobs. Some of these are covered by the national key competencies, although
others may be added. The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this
competency unit. The number in brackets indicates the level to which the key competency
needs to be demonstrated where (1) is where work is within set conditions and process, (2) is
where the management or facilitation of conditions or process is exercised, and (3) is where
the design and/or development of conditions or process is required.

How will the candidate
apply the following key
competency in this unit?

The candidate will need to:

Collect, analyse and
organise information

Collect, organise and understand information related to data
acquisition, team requirements, manufacturer/component
supplier specifications, plans and safety procedures.

(Level 2)

Communicate ideas and
information

Communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the
requirements, coordination of work with site managers,
supervisors, and other workers, and the reporting of work
outcomes and problems.

of the work site and the coordination of equipment, systems and
material to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or
wastage.

(Level 2)

Work with others and in
a team

Work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies
and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and
productivity.

(Level 1)

Use mathematical ideas
and techniques

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete
measurements and calculations required during the construction
of hose/pipe assemblies for competition vehicles.

(Level 2)

Solve problems

Use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate
assembly problems, in order to work efficiently and effectively.

(Level 2)

Use technology

Use the workplace technology related to the construction of
hose/pipe assemblies for competition vehicles including tools,
equipment, calculators and measuring devices.

(Level 1)

EVIDENCE GUIDE

Resource implications

• Access to hose/pipe construction and testing tools and

equipment involved in the construction of hose/pipe
assemblies for competition vehicles and related computing,
operational and inventory support systems

This includes real or simulated work areas, material,
equipment and information on work specifications,
customer requirements, organisation procedures, relevant
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
relevant 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
