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 vehicles where they have removed, manufactured or repaired, and then replaced vehicle head lining, 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 trimming workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
PPE required to manufacture or repair head lining
vehicle with head lining requiring replacement or repair
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing, manufacturing or repairing, and then replacing vehicle head lining.
