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 wheel and tyre assemblies 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:
automotive workplace or simulated workplace
task instructions
manufacturer motorcycle wheel and tyre assembly specifications
one motorcycle
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and refitting motorcycle wheel and tyre assemblies.
