Candidate section
General guidance
This is a formal assessment that you will be marked and graded on. You will be marked on the
quality and accuracy of your practical performance and any written work you produce. It is
therefore important that you carry your work out to the highest standard you can. You should
show how well you know and understand the subject and how you are able to use your
knowledge and skills together to complete the tasks.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the failure to acknowledge sources properly and/or the submission of another
person’s work as if it were the candidate’s own. Plagiarism is not allowed in this assignment.
This is an assessment of your abilities, so the work must be all your own work and carried out
under the conditions stated. You will be asked to sign a declaration that you have not had any
outside help with the assessment.
Your tutor is allowed to give you some help understanding the assignment instructions if
necessary, but they will record any other guidance you need and this will be taken into account
during marking.
Where research is allowed, your tutor must be able to identify which work you have done yourself,
and what you have found from other sources. It is therefore important to make sure you
acknowledge all sources and clearly reference any information taken from them.

Timings and planning

Where you have to plan your time, you should take care to make sure you have divided the time
available between tasks appropriately. In some assignments, there are specified timings which
cannot be changed and which need to be taken into account. You should check your plan is
appropriate with your tutor.
If you have a good reason for needing more time, you will need to explain the reasons to your
tutor and agree a new deadline date. Changes to dates will be at the discretion of the tutor, and
they may not mark work that is handed in after the agreed deadlines.

Health and Safety

You must always work safely, in particular while you are carrying out practical tasks.
You must always follow any relevant Health and Safety regulations and codes of practice.
If your tutor sees you working in a way that is unsafe for yourself or others, they will ask you to
stop immediately, and tell you why. Your tutor will not be able to reassess you until they are sure
you are ready for assessment and can work safely.
Presentation of work
Presentation of work must be neat and appropriate to the task.
You should make sure that each piece of work is clearly labelled with your name and the
assignment reference.
All electronic files must be given a clear file name that allows your tutor to identify it as your work.
Written work eg reports may be word processed but this is not a requirement.

Assignment Brief
You have applied for a position at a local vehicle service and repair centre and have been selected
for an interview.

Your potential employer has set up three tasks to enable you to demonstrate your ability and
apply your knowledge. The two vehicles you will be working on have just been booked in by their
owners.

You will be required to carefully plan out each task, ensuring that you take account of all relevant
health and safety requirements, including completing a risk assessment for each task.

Tasks

Task A

You are required to carry out an inspection on Vehicle One.

Vehicle One

The vehicle has been booked in by the customer. The customer has complained of a judder on
braking. It is suspected that one of the brake discs is warped.

You will be required to visually inspect the brake discs and measure and record run-out.

You will need to raise the vehicle from the ground and measure and record the disc run-out
against manufacturer’s tolerances.

The vehicle will need to be returned to the customer as presented.

What must be handed in for assessment:

 Procedure plan for carrying out the task
 Completed risk assessment document
 Completed list of tools and equipment used
 Completed record sheet for disc run-out details.

Additional records to support your performance:

 Your tutors notes about your working practices, this will include the standards and
accuracy of your information gathering, selection and use of equipment against the
task requirements.
 Photographs/video of your skills in action where appropriate.

Task B

You have now been asked to carry out an inspection on Vehicle Two.

Vehicle Two

The vehicle has been booked in by the customer because of a problem where the rear lights are
displaying at a reduced intensity. The customer has replaced the bulb but the fault is still
present.

You will be required to investigate the fault and record specific readings.

You are required to test the circuit using the necessary equipment and record your readings.

What must be handed in for assessment:

 Procedure plan for carrying out the task
 Completed risk assessment document
 Completed record sheet with your electrical readings.

Additional records to support your performance:

 Your tutors notes about your working practices, this will include the standards and
accuracy of your information gathering, selection and use of equipment against the
task requirements.
 Photographs/video of your skills in action where appropriate.

Task C

Both vehicles will require workshop repairs before they can be handed back to the customer.
However, before you can work on the vehicles, your employer requires you to demonstrate your
skills in measurement and fabrication.

You have been presented with a mild steel bar of a minimum dimension of 50 x 25 x 5 mm.

The task will require you to file one of the cut edges square, select the correct drill bit and drill a
hole in the centre of the steel bar to take an M8 thread. You will then need to tap the thread and
insert the appropriate bolt.

What must be handed in for assessment:

 Completed risk assessment document
 A completed list of tools and equipment used
 The completed product

Task instructions for centres

Time
The recommended time to be allocated for the completion of the tasks will be between seven to
ten hours, however it will depend on the complexity of the vehicles used. Candidates should be
required to plan their work and have them confirmed by the assessor for the appropriateness in
relation to the task.

Resources
Candidates should have access to a range of suitable materials and resources for carrying out all
of the tasks. Centres may wish to devise risk assessment documentation for these specific tasks or
use industry standard risk assessment templates where appropriate.

Vehicles used for assessment can include light vehicles, heavy vehicles, motorcycles, All-Terrain
Vehicles (ATVs) or a combination of these.

Task A
The vehicle should be presented ready for assessment (eg a light vehicle on a ramp or for a heavy
vehicle an axle or support stand may be used) and all tools and equipment should available and in
good working order. Relevant technical information should be available.

Task B
This task can be carried out on a vehicle or an appropriate assessment rig. The fault must be
present on either the supply or earth circuit. All tools and equipment should be available and in
good working order.

Task C
The mild steel bar should be pre-cut for each candidate to the required dimensions. Mild steel is
preferred but other metals may be used where appropriate.

The filed edge of the bar should be checked using an engineer’s square to ensure precision of
filing.

The material must be marked-out by the candidate prior to drilling the centre of the product.

Data needs to be available to the learner to select the correct drill bit from a selection available (eg
different sizes or types). The selection should contain a minimum of three and a maximum of
five.

The candidate must select the appropriate taps to complete the task.

There are no specific stated tolerances required however candidates must demonstrate a good
application of skills when carrying out the task.

All required tools and equipment should available and in good working order. It is important to
ensure that drill bits are sharpened before assessments take place. A hand power drill is
preferable but other drill types may also be used.

Centre guidance
This synoptic assessment is designed to require the candidate to make use their knowledge,
understanding and skills they have built up over the course of their learning to tackle
problems/tasks/challenges.
This approach to assessment emphasises to candidates the importance and applicability of the full
range of their learning to practice in their industry area, and supports them in learning to take
responsibility for transferring their knowledge, understanding and skills to the practical situation,
fostering independence, autonomy and confidence.
Candidates are provided with an assignment brief. They then have to draw on their knowledge
and skills and independently select the correct processes, skills, materials, and approaches to take
to provide the evidence specified by the brief.
During the learning programme, it is expected that tutors will have taken the opportunity to set
shorter, formative tasks that allow candidates to be supported to independently use the learning
they have so far covered, drawing this together in a similar way, so they are familiar with the
format, conditions and expectations of the synoptic assessment.
You should explain to candidates what the Assessment Objectives are and how they are
implemented in marking the assignment, so they will understand the level of performance that will
achieve them high marks.
The candidate should not be entered for the assessment until the end of the course of learning for
the qualification so they are in a position to complete the assignment successfully.

Health and safety

Candidates should not be entered for assessment without being clear of the importance of
working safely, and practice of doing so. The tutor must immediately stop an assessment if a
candidate works unsafely. At the discretion of the tutor, depending on the severity of the incident,
the candidate may be given a warning. If they continue to work unsafely however, their
assessment must be ended and they must retake the assessment at a later date.

Observation
Where the tutor is required to carry out observation of performance, detailed notes must be taken
using the Practical observation (PO) form provided. This may be a generic form or tailored to the
specific assignment. The centre has the flexibility to adapt the form, or produce their own to suit
local requirements as long as this does not change or restrict the type of evidence collected (eg to
use tablet, hand-written formats, or to ease local administration).
Observation notes form part of the candidate’s evidence and must describe how well the activity
has been carried out, rather than stating the steps/ actions the candidate has taken. The notes
must be very descriptive and focus on the quality of the performance in such a way that
comparisons between performances can be made and which provide the evidence on which the
award of marks can be made by the marker and, if sampled, the moderator.
Identifying what it is about the performances that is different between candidates can clarify the
qualities that are important to record. Each candidate may carry out the same steps, so a checklist
of this information would not add information to help differentiate between them, but qualitative
comments on how well they do it, and quantitative records of accuracy and tolerances would.
The tutor should refer to the marking grid to ensure appropriate aspects of performance are
recorded. These notes will be used for marking and moderation purposes and so must be
detailed, accurate and differentiating.
Tutors should ensure that any required additional supporting evidence including eg photographs
or video can be easily matched to the correct candidate, are clear, sufficiently well-lit and showing

8 City & Guilds Level 2 Technical Award in Automotive

the areas of particular interest for assessment (ie taken at appropriate points in production,
showing accuracy of measurements where appropriate).
If candidates are required to work as a team, each candidate’s contribution must be noted
separately. The tutor may intervene if any individual candidate’s contribution is unclear or to
ensure fair access (see below).
See the Technical qualifications – marking and moderation centre guidance document for
further information on gathering evidence suitable for marking and moderation.

Minimum evidence requirements

The sections:
 What you must produce for marking, and
 Additional evidence of your performance that must be captured for marking
in the assignment list the minimum requirements of evidence to be submitted for marking and
moderation.
Evidence above and beyond this may be submitted, but should provide useful information for
marking and moderation.
Where candidates have carried out some work as a group, the contribution of each candidate
must be clear. It is not appropriate to upload identical information for each candidate without
some way for the moderator to mark the candidates individually.
Where the minimum requirements have not been met, the moderation remark and any
subsequent adjustment will be based on the evidence that has been submitted. Where this is
insufficient to provide a mark on moderation, a mark of zero may be given.

Preparation
Candidates should be aware of which aspects of their performance (across the AOs) will give them
good marks in assessment. This is best carried out through routinely pointing out good or poor
performance during the learning period, and through formative assessment. Candidates should
be encouraged to do the best they can and be made aware of the difference between these
summative assessments and any formative assessments they have been subject to. Candidates
may not have access to the full marking grids, as these may be misinterpreted as pass, merit
distinction descriptors. See the Technical qualifications – teaching, learning and
assessment centre guidance document for further information on preparing candidates for
Technical qualification assessment.

City & Guilds Level 2 Technical Award in Automotive 9

Guidance on assessment conditions
The assessment conditions that are in place for this synoptic assignment are to:
 ensure the rigour of the assessment process
 provide fairness for candidates
 give confidence in the outcome.

They can be thought of as the rules that ensure that all candidates who take an assessment are
being treated fairly, equally and in a manner that ensures their result reflects their true ability.
The conditions outlined below relate to this summative synoptic assignment. These do not affect
any formative assessment work that takes place. Formative assessment will necessarily take a
significant role throughout the learning programme where support, guidance and feedback (with
the opportunity to show how feedback has been used to improve outcomes and learning) are
critical. This approach is not, however, valid for summative assessment. The purpose of
summative assessment is to confirm the standard the candidate has achieved as a result of
participating in the learning process.

Authentication of candidate work

Candidates are required to sign declarations of authenticity, as is the tutor. The relevant form is
included in this assignment pack.
The final evidence for the tasks that make up this synoptic assignment must be completed under
the specified conditions. This is to ensure authenticity and prevent malpractice as well as to
assess and record candidate performance for assessment in the practical tasks. Any aspect that
may be undertaken in unsupervised conditions is specified. It is the centre’s responsibility to
ensure that local administration and oversight gives the tutor sufficient confidence to be able to
confirm the authenticity of the candidate’s work.
Candidate evidence must be kept secure to prevent unsupervised access by the candidate or
others. Where evidence is produced over a number of sessions, the tutor must ensure learners
and others cannot access the evidence without supervision. This might include storing written
work or artefacts in locked cupboards and collecting memory sticks of evidence produced
electronically at the end of each session.
Where the candidate or tutor is unable to, or does not confirm authenticity through
signing the declaration form, the work will not be accepted at moderation and a mark of
zero will be given. If any question of authenticity arises eg at moderation, the centre
may be contacted for justification of authentication.

Accessibility and fairness

Where a candidate has special requirements, tutors should refer to the Access arrangements and
reasonable adjustments section of the City& Guilds website.
Tutors can support access where necessary by providing clarification to any candidate on the
requirements or timings of any aspect of this synoptic assignment. Tutors should not provide
more guidance than the candidate needs as this may impact on the candidate’s grade, see the
guidance and feedback section below.
All candidates must be provided with an environment and resources that allows them access to
the full range of marks available.
Where candidates have worked in groups to complete one or more tasks for this synoptic
assessment, the tutor must ensure that no candidate is disadvantaged as a result of the
performance of any other team member. If a team member is distracting or preventing another
team member from fully demonstrating their skills or knowledge, the tutor must intervene.

Guidance and feedback

10 City & Guilds Level 2 Technical Award in Automotive

Guidance must only support access to the assignment and must not provide feedback for
improvement. The level and frequency of clarification & guidance should be recorded fully on the
candidate record form (CRF), must be taken into account along with the candidate’s final evidence
during marking and must be made available for moderation. Tutors must not provide feedback on
the quality of the performance or how the quality of evidence can be improved. This would be
classed as malpractice. Tutors should however provide general reminders to candidates
throughout the assessment period that they must check their work thoroughly before submitting
it to be sure that they are happy with their final evidence as it may not be worked on further after
submission.
Candidates can rework any evidence that has been produced for this synoptic assignment during
the time allowed. However, this must be as a result of their own review and identification of
weaknesses and not as a result of tutor feedback. Once the evidence has been submitted for
assessment, no further amendments to evidence can be made.
Tutors should ensure that candidates’ plans or completion of the tasks distribute the time
available appropriately and may guide candidates on where they should be up to at any point in a
general way. Any excessive time taken for any task should be recorded and should be taken into
account during marking if appropriate
It is up to the marker to decide if the guidance required suggests the candidate is lacking in any
AO, the severity of the issue, and how to award marks on the basis of this full range of evidence.
The tutor must record where and how guidance has had an impact on the marks given, so this is
available should queries arise at moderation or appeal.

What is, and is not, an appropriate level of guidance

 A tutor should intervene with caution if a candidate has taken a course of action that will
result in them not being able to submit the full range of evidence for assessment. However
this should only take place once the tutor has prompted the candidate to check that they
have covered all the requirements. Where the tutor has to be explicit as to what the issue
is, this is likely to demonstrate a lack of understanding on the part of the candidate rather
than a simple error, and full details should be recorded on the CRF.
 The tutor should not provide guidance if the candidate is thought to be able to correct
the issue without it, and a prompt would suffice. In other words only the minimum support
the candidate actually needs should be given, since the more guidance provided, the
larger the impact on the marks awarded.
 A tutor may not provide guidance that the candidate’s work is not at the required
standard or how to improve their work. In this way, candidates are given the chance to
identify and correct any errors on their own, providing valid evidence of knowledge and
skills that will be credited during marking.
Both prompts and details of the nature of any further guidance must be recorded and reviewed
during marking and moderation.
Guidance on marking
Please see the Technical qualifications – marking and moderation centre guidance
document for further information on gathering evidence suitable for marking and moderation, and
on using the following marking grid.

The Candidate Record Form (CRF) is used to record:

 Details of any guidance or the level of prompting the candidate has received during the
assessment period
 Rough notes made while reviewing the evidence – alternatively these may be captured on
the marking and moderation platform.
 Summary justifications when holistically coming to an overall judgement of the mark.
