Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to fabricate and test exhaust systems and their components. It involves preparing for the task, selecting procedures for fabrication, performing post-fabrication testing, and completing processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The exhaust systems and components that are fabricated are for internal combustion engines.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 exhaust systems that they have fabricated, 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

exhaust system fabrication material, including:

exhaust pipe

exhaust flanges

exhaust brackets

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for exhaust system fabrication, including:

exhaust pipe benders

pipe cutters

formers

welding equipment.
