Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to service and repair bicycle mechanical braking systems. It involves preparing for the work, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, planning, inspecting, servicing and repairing, and testing the bicycle braking system, and completing workplace processes and documentation. It applies to those working in the bicycle retail, service and repair industry.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements 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.

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 bicycle mechanical braking systems that they have serviced and 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:

bicycle workplace or simulated workplace, including location to test bicycle braking system

workplace instructions detailing job requirements

PPE required to service and repair bicycle mechanical braking systems

manufacturer or brake component specifications and technical information for mechanical braking system

components and parts to suit different mechanical braking systems

three different bicycles with mechanical braking systems specified in the performance evidence and requiring repair and servicing

tools and equipment appropriate for servicing and repairing bicycle mechanical braking systems.
