Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to identify and tag a range of bicycle components. It involves preparing for the work, removing and tagging bicycle components by title, job number and bicycle application, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation for entering the bicycle retail, service and repair industry.
The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Prepare to remove and tag bicycle components | 1.1 Task instruction is interpreted and bicycle to be worked on is identified 1.2 Bicycle component information is sourced and interpreted 1.3 Potential hazards and risks associated with task are identified and reported to workplace supervisor 1.4 Tools and equipment are selected and checked according to workplace procedures |
2. Remove components | 2.1 Bicycle components to be removed are identified 2.2 Components are removed according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or systems 2.3 Removed components are inspected and findings recorded according to workplace procedures |
3. Tag components | 3.1 Tagging procedures are identified 3.2 Removed components are legibly tagged without causing damage and according to workplace procedures 3.3 Tagged components are stored according to workplace procedures |
4. Complete work processes | 4.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets task instruction and workplace standards. Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored 4.2 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures 4.3 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures |

Evidence of Knowledge
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing bicycle components, including procedures for manually handling bicycles
environmental requirements, including procedures for disposing of waste materials
bicycle types and related key terminology
bicycle components and their key features
bicycle accessories and their functions
types and use of specialist bicycle tools and equipment
procedures for removing and tagging bicycle components, including:
component removal
component inspection
component tagging, including key information required on tags
component storage.
Assessment Conditions
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 bicycle components that they have removed and tagged, 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
task instructions
manufacturer bicycle specifications
one bicycle
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and tagging bicycle components.
