Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: June 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to measure, develop patterns and templates, and fabricate body panels and components. It involves preparing for the task, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment, selecting and cutting materials according to patterns, templates and specifications, preparing cut edges, fabricating panels, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and body repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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:
fabricate two different vehicle body panels and their components, including vehicle door skin lower half.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to fabricating vehicle body panels and components, including procedures for:
selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE)
using tools and equipment
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste materials
panel fabrication methods and techniques, including:
type of panel materials and application
marking out and cutting procedures
type and correct use of panel fabrication tools and equipment
techniques for producing paper patterns and templates
panel fabrication methods
wheeling and shaping techniques
procedures for final inspection of fabricated body panels and components.
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 body panels and components that they have fabricated, e.g. work 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
PPE required to fabricate body panels
materials to fabricate body panels and components
two different vehicle body panels and components requiring fabrication
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for fabricating vehicle body panels and components.
