Unit of Competency AHCMOM212 - Operate quad bikes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to operate and maintain quad bikes as well as load and unload them onto trailers or other vehicles used for their transport.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety requirements manufacturer’s specifications and operator manuals and sustainability practices.Working with quad bikes is an inherently dangerous activity. Individuals who work at this level must be thoroughly instructed in all work health and safety aspects of operating quad bikes.This unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision and exercise limited autonomy with some accountability for own work. They undertake defined activities and provide solutions to a limited range of predictable problems.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting. All evidence collected must meet minimum requirements including industry standard timeframes for performance of tasks.

Assessment must be conducted in a range of riding surface conditions and in a range of terrains appropriate for the safe use of quad bikes.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
