Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose and repair faults in the outboard and stern drive transmissions of marine vessels. It involves preparing for the task, selecting the correct diagnostic procedure, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the marine 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 outboard and stern drive transmissions in marine vessels that they have worked on, 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:

marine repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer transmission specifications

two different marine outboard transmissions with faults

one marine stern drive transmission with faults

diagnostic equipment for marine outboard and stern drive transmissions

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for dismantling, repairing, reassembling and adjusting marine outboard and stern drive transmissions.
