Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to having provided technical guidance to co-workers in the automotive workplace, e.g. on-the-job training program.

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

three different co-workers requiring technical instruction on different tasks
