Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to set up and use a universal measuring system to measure vehicle chassis misalignment at pre- and post-repair intervals. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, setting measuring equipment, measuring vehicle upper and underbody in three dimensions, and completing workplace processes and documentation.It applies to those working in the automotive body 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 vehicles that they have measured and repaired using a universal measuring system, 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 workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

OEM or authorised agency specifications and measurements

PPE required to set up and operate a universal vehicle measuring system

universal vehicle measuring system

universal vehicle measuring system operating instructions

two vehicles with different chassis types requiring pre- and post-repair measuring of the misalignment damage specified in the performance evidence

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for setting up and operating universal vehicle measuring systems.
