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 vehicle thermoplastic components that they have repaired, 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 location or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

SDS for thermoplastics

OEM or authorised agency repair specifications

thermoplastic components specified in the performance evidence requiring repair

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing vehicle thermoplastic body panels and components, including required PPE.
