Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the bicycle steering systems that they have serviced, e.g. service orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

bicycle workplace or simulated workplace, including location to test bicycle steering system

workplace instructions detailing job requirements

manufacturer and steering system component specifications

three different bicycles requiring servicing and testing of their steering systems

PPE required to service bicycle steering systems

tools and equipment appropriate for servicing bicycle steering systems.
