The topics that will be covered in the assessment are: Prepare to diagnose and repair exhaust systemsDiagnose an exhaust systemRepair an exhaust systemComplete work processes This assessment will ensure that the elements, performance criteria, performance evidence and knowledge evidence required, and conditions are adhered to demonstrate competency in this unit assessment task. Read the assessment carefully before commencing.Your Assessor will use the assessment criteria in this document and will provide feedback / comment. You MUST answer all the questions in the assessment tasks in your own words and own handwriting.

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 exhaust systems that they have worked on, 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 Manufacturer exhaust system specificationsTwo different vehicles with faults in the exhaust system components specified in the performance evidenceDiagnostic equipment for exhaust systems Tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing exhaust systems, including metal heating equipment.Resources requiredLearning Resources available to students include: Automotive Technology (A System Approach) 6th Edition – Chapters 5, 6, 7, 32 and 33WebsitesTrainer HandoutsResults/Re-assessmentThe Assessor will grade the assessment and record the result on the front page of this document (S) – Satisfactory if all observable behaviours are correct and (NS) not satisfactory if any areas are left incorrectFeedback will be provided on either resultWhere a student receives a ‘NS – Not Satisfactory’ result, the assessor will discuss the area of the non-compliant observable behaviour and an opportunity given for re-assessment. This may be through direct observation or a different method of assessment e.g. verbal/oral questioning, problem solving exercise. If the outcome is again not satisfactory the student result will be deemed (NYC) not yet competent. Additional feedback will be given, and a time agreed upon for further assessment after additional training and skills practice has taken place, this information will be recorded, dated and signed in the re-assessment area on the last page of this documentWhere all the assessment tasks have been graded (S) Satisfactory, the student will be deemed C – Competent for the practical component and the result recorded and signed in the area indicated on the last page of this documentReasonable AdjustmentIf the participant is unable to undertake the written assessment as designed, an interview (verbal questioning) may be used as an alternate approach.
