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 are required.

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

The candidate will need to:

Collect, analyse and
organise information

Research, organise and understand technical information
related to contemporary motorcycle braking systems,
monitoring and testing processes, diagnostic methods and
options and safety procedures.

(Level 3)

Communicate ideas and
information

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of
work requirements and specifications, coordination of work
with site supervisor, other workers and customers, the reporting
of work outcomes and the completion of regulatory,
commercial and vehicle information systems inputs.

(Level 2)

Plan and organise
activities

Plan and organise activities including the planning of analytical
processes, the establishment of evaluative (success) criteria, the
preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of
testing equipment and material to avoid any back tracking,
workflow interruptions or wastage.

(Level 2)

Work with others and in
a team

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

(Level 2)

Use mathematical ideas
and techniques

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete
measurements, calculate analytical requirements, calibrate and
establish testing equipment and present analytical results.

(Level 2)

Solve problems

Establish analytical processes, including diagnostic processes,
which anticipate and allow for risks, cater for both direct and
indirect evidence, avoid or minimise reworking and avoid
wastage.

Resource implications

•

Access to a realistic requirement and objective(s) for
analysis and evaluation, motorcycle braking systems with
real or simulated faults, monitoring processes and testing
equipment appropriate to the objective(s), research
facilities and technical information and a realistic work
environment

Method of assessment

•

Assessment of this competency is most likely to be
project related under real or simulated conditions and
require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of
process. Direct evidence may include certification of
compliance of the final outcome/product or authorisation
