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 heavy vehicle engine assemblies that they have removed and installed, 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 repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer engine specifications
- two different heavy vehicles requiring removal and installation of engine assemblies
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and replacing heavy vehicle engines, including engine lifting devices and supporting equipment.
