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 minor adjustments that they have carried out on motorcycle components and equipment, 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
  • task instructions
  • manufacturer motorcycle specifications
  • one motorcycle and the motorcycle components specified in the performance evidence
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for carrying out minor adjustments to motorcycles.
