Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Prepare for inspection | 1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions 1.2 Vehicle specifications are sourced and interpreted from OEM or authorised agency and workplace inspection procedures 1.3 Inspection methods are analysed, and most appropriate option for vehicle and job requirement is selected and prepared 1.4 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed 1.5 Technical and calibration equipment for vehicle system inspection is sourced and checked for serviceability |
2. Inspect damaged vehicle | 2.1 Inspection is carried out according to workplace procedures and safety requirements 2.2 Extent of vehicle damage and damage location are recorded during inspection |
3. Analyse inspection results | 3.1 Results are compared with vehicle specifications to identify compliance or non-compliance 3.2 Preferred repair action is determined following analysis of options 3.3 Repair options are documented with supporting evidence and information 3.4 Final inspection report is completed according to workplace procedures |
4. Complete work processes | 4.1 Technical and calibration equipment is checked and stored according to workplace procedures 4.2 Workplace documentation, including report on repair recommendations, is processed according to workplace procedures |
This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
Specifications must include: | OEM or authorised agency: vehicle design specifications and drawings repair instructions and methods component replacement instructions. |
Inspection methods must include: | testing and operational assessments for defects. |
Safety requirements must include: | work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for: selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE) using hand tools and lifting equipment. |
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
inspect two of the following systems on different vehicles, and recommend suitable repair options:
air conditioning system
braking system
cooling system
electrical system
exhaust system
steering and suspension system.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting damaged vehicle systems and recommending repairs, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using hand tools and lifting equipment
operating principles of vehicle systems, including:
air conditioning system
braking system
cooling system
electrical system
exhaust system
steering and suspension system
original equipment manufacturer (OEM), authorised agency and component supplier specifications, and recommended repair and replacement procedures
procedures for inspecting damaged vehicles and determining repair action, including:
repair quality requirements
inspection and reporting procedures.
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 vehicles that they have inspected, e.g. inspection reports.
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
OEM or authorised agency component specifications and repair methods
workplace instructions
two different vehicles with damaged systems requiring inspection
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting damaged vehicle systems and determining repair action.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
