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.
This is an open book assessment and will be conducted at your designated campus / workshop /
specialised lab.
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.
Your Trainer / Assessor will inform you of the due date for this assessment task.
Your Assessor will grade as either S – Satisfactory or NS – Not Satisfactory for the assessment. In all
cases your Assessor will provide you with feedback.
Only when all assessment tasks have been graded as S – Satisfactory you will be deemed C – Competent in the
final result of the unit of competency; if you do not satisfactorily complete all the assessment tasks you will be
deemed NYC – Not Yet Competent.
Re-Assessment Conditions
If the evidence is graded as NS – Not Satisfactory you will be required to re-submit the evidence. In this
case, you will be provided with clear and constructive feedback based on the assessment decision so that
they can improve your skills / knowledge prior to reassessment.
Where a ‘NS – Not Satisfactory’ judgement is made, you will be given guidance on steps to take to improve
your performance and provided the opportunity to resubmit evidence to demonstrate competence. The
assessor will determine and discuss the reasons for NS – Not satisfactory on any of the criteria and will
assess you through a different method of assessment e.g. verbal/oral questioning, problem solving
exercises.
You will be notified between 10-30 working days of undertaking an assessment of their result in achieving
competency
o If a student does not complete the assessment, they should notify their trainer as to why they did
not complete the assessment and if due to illness, a medical certificate must be produced.
o In the above scenario, student will be given an opportunity for reassessment within 5 working days
with no reassessment fee charged.
o Students who are deemed to be Not Yet Competent (NYC) will be provided with information
identifying the areas in which they failed to achieve competency. Students will then have the
opportunity to repeat the assessment task within 5 working days of notification with no
reassessment fee charged.
o If a student is deemed NYC in the reassessment or if the student did not approach the AIBT’s
within five working days with a valid reason for not availing themselves of the reassessment
opportunity, then those students will be given a final chance to re-sit the assessment and will be
charged a reassessment fee as per AIBT rule.
o After this no further reassessment attempt will be provided to the student and the student will be
required to repeat the whole unit with full fee for the unit. The student will be made aware of the
impact of repeating the unit may have on their student visa.
o If a student is found to be cheating or plagiarising their assessment, a reassessment fee will be
charged for reassessing the assessment within 5 working days.
o If the student is found to be plagiarising or cheating again after conclusion of the Intervention
meeting with the Course Co-ordinator, the matter will be referred to the Academic Management
Committee which may result in the suspension or cancellation of their enrolment
o AIBT’s has intervention strategies, including student support services available to enable students to
complete qualification in the expected time frame. Students at risk of not completing within this time
frame are identified as early as possible and an intervention strategy is put in place.
Your assessor will assess the evidence submitted for the following elements, performance criteria, performance
evidence and knowledge evidence to confirm that the student evidence submitted demonstrates validity,
sufficiency, authenticity and confirms current skills and knowledge relevant to the unit of competency.
Your assessor will be looking for the following in this assessment task: -

possibility of coolant scalding, Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
7. As per the WSM, Inspect and test the cooling system using the cooling system pressure test; including the
radiator cap. Also, inspect the following:
Inspect the radiator and the A/C condenser cooling fins for swarf or any other obstruction.
Inspect the drive belt system and the drive belt tensioner for proper operation in order to ensure that
the coolant pump is rotating properly.
Inspect for loose, damaged and/or missing air deflector(s).
