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 engine components that they have worked on, 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
- multi-cylinder crankshafts, camshafts, and engine cylinder heads specified in the performance evidence
- hand, air and power tools, welding equipment and materials for rebuilding engine components
- precision measuring equipment, including:
- dial indicators
- inside and outside metric and imperial micrometers.
