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 chassis, frames and components that they have repaired, 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
- workplace instructions
- OEM specifications and repair instructions
- PPE required to repair chassis, frame and components
- one chassis requiring repair, and its frame and associated components
- measuring and alignment equipment
