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 bicycle steering systems that they have repaired and overhauled, 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:

  • bicycle workplace or simulated workplace, including location to test bicycle steering system
  • workplace instructions detailing job requirements
  • manufacturer specifications and technical information for bicycle steering systems
  • PPE required to repair and overhaul bicycle steering systems
  • component parts as required
  • three different bicycles with steering systems requiring repair and overhaul
  • tools and equipment appropriate for repairing and overhauling bicycle steering systems.
