Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to identify, select and use leather in the trimming of automotive and marine components. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, checking leather quality, calculating required quantities, matching leather, fabricating and attaching covers and trim to manufacturer and customer instructions, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working in the automotive and marine trimming industry.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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 automotive and marine trimming they have made using leather, 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:

workplace instructions

PPE required to fabricate leather components

leather and materials to carry out trimming activities

component of one vehicle or vessel requiring leather trim

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for selecting and using leather in automotive and marine trimming.
