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 motorcycle tyres and tubes 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:
motorcycle repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer tyre and tube repair procedures and specifications
motorcycle tyres, tubes and wheel assemblies specified in the performance evidence
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing, inspecting, repairing and refitting motorcycle tyres and tubes, including:
tyre and tube repair tools and equipment
tyre and tube repair patches and plugs
tyre changing tools and equipment.
