Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes required to service air compressors, pressure regulators, water traps, filters and air lines. It involves cleaning and replacing filters, making necessary adjustments, and completing workplace processes and documentation as part of the day-to-day maintenance of the system.It applies to those working in the automotive 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 air compressor systems that they have serviced, e.g. service 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

manufacturer air compressor specifications

two different air compressor systems and components requiring service

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for servicing air compressors and air lines.
