Assess and quote to service a recreational vehicle

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to assess and quote a job to repair and/or service a recreational vehicle.

This unit of competency applies to an individual who will identify the customer’s requirements, determine other specifications for the job, calculate costs, prepare a quote and, once approved, arrange for the job to proceed.

This unit of competency applies in enterprises conducting recreational vehicle servicing and repairs and may be applied in different workplaces, sectors and circumstances.

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

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element

1

Assess job requirements

1.1

Assess any damage and/or identify service requirements

1.2

Select and review relevant plans, drawings or manuals according to type and model of recreational vehicle

1.3

Determine accurately the service and/or repair requirements of the job

1.4

Provide advice or make recommendations on repair and/or service on request

1.5

Identify any options to meet customer preferences and specific job requirements

1.6

Consider and recommend any additional services which may be required

2

Quote the job

2.1

Select repair or service options and agree on scope in consultation with customer

2.2

Identify and calculate materials, parts and equipment required to meet the job requirements and appropriate sources

2.3

Calculate the costs of the job

2.4

Prepare quotation and present to customer in a professional manner

2.5

Obtain customer's agreement to quotation, details of work to be completed and timeframes

2.6

Order parts, materials and equipment, where required, according to enterprise procedures

2.7

Liaise with colleagues and others, where required, to organise the job

2.8

Complete any documentation and file appropriately according to enterprise procedures

2.9

Schedule the job, as appropriate, in agreement with customer and follow booking procedures according to enterprise practices

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:

plan, organise and schedule work activities

determine job requirements

apply customer service, negotiation and communication skills

estimate and calculate all aspects of repair/service costs to meet job requirements

read and interpret typical floor plans, drawings and manuals of recreational vehicles

identify and assess problems and recommend appropriate remedies

communicate effectively with colleagues and customers on job requirements.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

regulatory framework

features of different recreational vehicle types and makes, and their design and structural features

recommended service and maintenance requirements, and schedules for recreational vehicles

details, features and current costs of components, materials and parts

required equipment for the job and any associated costs and transport requirements.

The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.

The collection of performance evidence:

should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operations

will typically include a supervisor/third-party report focusing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency

must include the use of appropriate tools, equipment, data and documentation

may use industry-based simulation for all or part of the unit particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of:

walk-throughs

demonstration of skills

industry based case studies/scenarios

‘what ifs’.

Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.

The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.

Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
