Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to synchronise plant and equipment. It involves preparing for the task, selecting the correct synchronising procedure, carrying out the synchronisation, performing post-synchronising testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The plant and equipment include those of agricultural machinery or mobile plant machinery.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 plant and equipment that they have synchronised, 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

workplace instructions

manufacturer plant and equipment synchronisation specifications

two different pieces of plant and equipment for synchronisation

test equipment for synchronising plant and equipment

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for synchronising plant and equipment.
