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 task.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the body film wrapping they have applied to vehicles, 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
PPE to apply vinyl film wrapping
vinyl film supplier specifications and application methods
three different vehicles requiring the application of vinyl film materials
vinyl film wrapping material
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for applying vehicle body film wrapping.
