This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
Wheel and tyre combinations must include: | wheel rim sizes wheel material wheel diameters tyre sizes tyre compounds tyre tread designs. |
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
provide advice to three different customers on the effects of different wheel and tyre combinations on their vehicles’ ride and handling characteristics
demonstrate effective communication techniques when discussing technical information with above customers.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
principles of wheel and tyre technology, including:
directional tyres
wheel offsets
wheel track
tyre to road contact
effects of wheel and tyre combinations on vehicle comfort, handling and safety
Australian Design Rules (ADRs) relating to wheels and tyres
legislation concerning ADR compliance.
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 wheel and tyre advice that they have provided, e.g. work 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:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
three different customers requiring advice on wheel and tyre combinations
manufacturer wheel and tyre specifications
ADRs relating to wheel and tyre combinations.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
