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 bearings, seals, gaskets, sealants and adhesives they have selected and used, 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 specifications relating to bearings, seals, gaskets, sealants and adhesives
vehicle or equipment requiring the application of bearings, seals, gaskets, sealants and adhesives
bearings, seals, gaskets, sealants and adhesives as specified in the performance evidence
tools, equipment and material appropriate for installing bearings, seals and gaskets.
