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 vehicle sunroofs they have installed, e.g. work 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
sunroof installation instructions, methods and specifications
materials to fabricate templates to sunroof specifications
vehicle or frame requiring the installation of a sunroof
vehicle sunroof
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for installing vehicle sunroofs, including required PPE.
