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 task.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the COB refinishing materials they have applied to vehicle body components, 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
  • paint and vehicle manufacturer specifications, paint codes
  • TDS and SDS for COB multi-layer and pearl refinishing materials
  • PPE, including positive air feed masks
  • materials to apply COB multi-layer and pearl refinishing materials
  • COB refinishing materials
  • three different vehicles or panels requiring painting with COB multi-layer and pearl refinishing materials
