Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • obtaining and interpreting system/circuit diagrams, system operation data sheets and control data
    planning and sequencing operations;
  • checking/inspecting system/circuit components for compliance with specifications;
  • undertaking installation of the fluid power system and controls in accordance with manufacturers' specifications and work site procedures;
  • using test equipment to check control and system operation against specification;
  • adjusting the system where appropriate, to ensure that the sequence of operations conforms to operational requirements;
  • recording/reporting any modifications/alterations to the system;
  • checking the operation of the controls and system for conformance to specification;
  • commissioning the system in accordance with work site procedures;
  • identifying and localising components not conforming to operational specification;
  • conducting appropriate maintenance in accordance with work site procedures;
  • repairing control components where appropriate;
  • testing faulty items for conformance to specification;
  • installing repaired/replaced components;
  • selecting replacement items from manufacturers' catalogues;
  • reassembling control components;
  • initiating maintenance and/or service follow-up procedures, and;
  • completing maintenance and/or service reports.
