Assessment framework

Assessment is defined by the active program.

  • Equipment knowledge assessment
  • Troubleshooting scenarios
  • Maintenance-document interpretation
  • Practical evidence only where the employer scopes it

Possible evidence

Evidence examples for governed delivery.

  • Maintenance task observation
  • Alignment or vibration record
  • Troubleshooting record
  • Knowledge assessment

Choose the delivery relationship

Individual access or a scoped company program.

Current individual learning uses Professional Learning Access. Companies can scope role, equipment and workplace-evidence requirements separately.
