Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare and clean mechanical components. It involves preparing for the task, cleaning and tagging equipment for repair or storage, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The pre-repair operations include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, mobile plant machinery or motorcycles.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 vehicle components 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:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer cleaning agent specifications

area and equipment, including PPE, for safely cleaning vehicle components

vehicle components for pre-repair operations as specified in the performance evidence

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for carrying out mechanical pre-repair operations.
