Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to carry out basic repairs to vehicle body panels. It involves planning and preparing for the task, identifying and using abrasives, body fillers, and heat shrink and metal finishing procedures, selecting and using tools and equipment, and maintaining the work area, tools and equipment.
It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation to entering the automotive service and repair or automotive manufacturing industry. The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

3.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures, or tagged and reported as required
3.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
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:
carry out basic repairs on two different vehicle body panels, including:
one vehicle mud guard
one vehicle door.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to carrying out basic repairs to vehicle body panels, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, ear protection and safety footwear
using hand tools
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste produced during body panel repair processes
types and construction of vehicle body panels
body panel repair procedures, including:
basic panel beating
types and application of body fillers
basic body filler repair.
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.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the body panels that they have repaired, 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:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
PPE for carrying out panel repairs
one vehicle mud guard
one vehicle door
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing body panels.
