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 non-electrical components that they have removed, replaced and tested, 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 repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
vehicle manufacturer specifications and repair and service manuals
PPE required to remove, replace and test non-electrical vehicle components and accessories
vehicles requiring the non-electrical components and accessories specified in the performance evidence to be removed, replaced and tested
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing, replacing and testing non-electrical vehicle components and accessories.
