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 marine electrical systems and components they have installed in vessels, e.g. repair 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:
workplace location or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer electrical system and component specifications
two different vessels requiring installation of marine electrical systems and components
the following electrical components:
switch and fuse panels
bilge pump
lighting
depth sounder or fish finder
GPS
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for installing marine electrical systems and components.
