INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to the Plan & Perform Basic Vehicle Servicing Operations course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in planning and carrying out basic vehicle servicing operations, interpreting manufacturer specifications and workplace requirements, identifying hazards and applying risk controls, selecting and checking tools and equipment, servicing major vehicle systems and components, identifying and reporting faults, completing final inspections, and finalising servicing activities in line with workplace, WHS, and environmental requirements.
Planning and performing basic vehicle servicing operations involves preparing for service work correctly, following manufacturer and workplace requirements, and carrying out routine servicing tasks across a range of vehicle systems in a safe, accurate, and organised manner. In real workplace practice, this requires workers to interpret service instructions, assess servicing hazards and risks before work begins, confirm the serviceability of tools, equipment, and lifting devices, and complete checks and servicing activities on engines, exhaust systems, drive belts, cooling systems, transmission and final drive systems, tyres, suspension, steering, fuel and intake systems, electrical systems, braking systems, and other basic service items. This work is important because basic servicing supports vehicle safety, reliability, performance, and roadworthiness, while also helping to identify worn components and faults before they develop into more serious mechanical problems.
The course assessment focuses on your ability to plan servicing tasks from work instructions and vehicle service requirements, interpret manufacturer specifications, servicing procedures, and workplace requirements, identify hazards, assess risks, and apply workplace control measures, and select and check the serviceability of tools, equipment, and lifting devices. It also evaluates your ability to service engine and exhaust systems, drive belts, cooling systems, transmission and final drive systems, tyres, suspension and steering systems, fuel and intake systems, electrical systems, braking systems, body fittings, pedal rubbers, and other basic service items including wipers, washers, HVAC operation, mirrors, panels, and exhaust condition. In addition, the assessment examines your ability to identify, record, and report worn components, faults, and issues requiring further investigation, complete final vehicle inspections, confirm vehicle readiness, record servicing operations, and clear the work area and complete housekeeping, disposal, recycling, storage, tagging, and documentation processes in line with workplace, WHS, and environmental requirements.
By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can plan and perform basic vehicle servicing operations by preparing work correctly, following manufacturer and workplace servicing requirements, servicing a range of vehicle systems and components safely and effectively, identifying and reporting faults and wear, completing final inspections and service records, and finalising work areas and materials in accordance with workplace, safety, and environmental expectations.
