Who is this Guide for?

The Implementation Guide is designed to assist assessors, trainers, registered training organisations (RTOs)
and enterprises to deliver nationally endorsed industry training packages.
Nationally endorsed training packages are developed to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012 ratified
by Commonwealth and state/territory ministers, and their two accompanying policies which were updated in
2019.
As well as information relevant to all training packages, it provides specific information and advice about the
history, structure, key features and application of the AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training
Package.

What is in the Guide

This AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package Implementation Guide provides:
• information relevant to all training packages
• lists of qualifications, skill sets and units of competency
• mapping information for qualifications, skill sets and units of competency
• specific information and advice about the history, structure, key features and application of the AUR
Training Package.

What is a training package?

A training package is a set of nationally endorsed qualifications, units of competency and their assessment
requirements developed for a specific industry or sector. A training package:
• specifies the skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in the workplace
• provides consistent components for training, assessing or recognising skills
• enables nationally recognised qualifications to be awarded through direct assessment of
workplace competencies
• promotes flexible modes of training to suit individual and industry requirements
• encourages learning and assessment in a work-related environment that leads to verifiable
workplace outcomes
• may also provide support materials.
While a training package does specify workplace skills and knowledge requirements, it does not suggest how a
learner should be trained. Users of training packages, such as trainers or assessors, must develop learning and
assessment strategies that support the needs of their particular learners.

Components of PwC’s Skills for Australia training packages

Training packages consist of the following endorsed components.
• Qualifications that consist of units of competency packaged into meaningful groups to meet
workplace roles and aligned to vocational qualification levels identified in the Australian Qualifications
Framework (AQF).
• Units of competency that specify the standards of performance required in the workplace.
• Assessment requirements that specify the performance evidence, knowledge evidence and conditions
for assessment for each unit of competency.
• Credit arrangements which specify details of existing credit arrangements between vocational and
higher education qualifications in accordance with the AQF. Currently no credit arrangements exist
between any PwC’s Skills for Australia training package qualifications and higher education qualifications.

Training packages may also include non-endorsed components.

• Skill sets, which are groups of endorsed units of competency that address a defined industry need or
licensing or regulatory requirement.
• Companion volumes (including this Implementation Guide), which provide support for delivery and
assessment.
• User guides, which provide information about specific components.

Training package development and endorsement process

Nationally endorsed training packages are developed to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012 ratified
by Commonwealth and state/territory ministers, and their two accompanying policies. More information about
training package standards and policies is available on the Department of Education, Skills and Employment
websites: https://www.dese.gov.au and https://docs.employment.gov.au/documents/training-package-
development-and-endorsement-process-policy- 0
Training packages are developed to meet the training needs of specific industries and sectors. They differ from
education and training courses in that they must be created with industry involvement and extensive national
consultation. They are regularly reviewed through a continuous improvement cycle and updated to ensure they
remain current and relevant. The following diagram demonstrates PwC’s Skills for Australia
development/review process.

Who can deliver and assess a qualification?

For the purpose of national recognition, training delivery and assessment must be conducted by an RTO with
the qualifications or specific units of competency on its scope of registration.
All RTOs must comply with the requirements set out in applicable national frameworks and standards. The
current registering bodies, frameworks and standards, and which type of RTO they apply to, are shown in the
table on the following page. Users of this Implementation Guide are advised to check the applicable standards
for their particular circumstances.
More information about national standards and standards for non-referring states can be found at:
https://www.asqa.gov.au/about/australias-vet-sector/vet-quality-framework
RTOs must make sure that training and assessment comply with the relevant standards. This includes ensuring
that training delivery and assessment is conducted by those who:
• have the necessary training and assessment competencies
• have the relevant vocational competencies at least to the level being delivered or assessed
• can demonstrate current industry skills directly relevant to the training/assessment being delivered

© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia

17 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

• continue to develop their vocational education and training (VET) knowledge and skills, industry currency
and trainer/assessor competence.
In some cases, RTOs may need to use team-based or collaborative approaches to bring together all the
necessary skills and knowledge to train and assess the full range of skills within a program of vocational
training.

Check for specific assessor requirements in the Assessment conditions section of the
assessment requirements for the unit of competency.

Mapping to previous version of the training package

Mapping information can be useful for delivery and assessment as it:
• explains the extent of changes to help users identify how previous training materials can be adapted
• shows whether the outcomes of the previous and current versions are equivalent or not; and
• shows newly created components, as well as any components removed from the training package.

Key to mapping tables below

E Equivalent Where the workplace outcomes of the superseded and superseding training package components are equivalent.
NA Not Where mapping information is not applicable. Minor updates do not require an equivalence determination.
applicable
NE Not Where a training package component is superseded, and the workplace outcome of the component has changed.

Key work and training requirements in the industry

The Automotive Retail, Service and Repair AUR Training Package is a critical element in the Vocational
Education and Training (VET) system, playing central role in the training of learners that engage in the
automotive industries. A productive and valuable Automotive Training Package is essential in providing
learners with work ready skills for the labour force and flexible training pathways to gain new skills to progress
their careers and employability.
Ongoing structural changes to the Automotive industry have resulted in far fewer independent or
unincorporated automotive body, service and repair businesses. Those enterprises seeking to remain in the
industry will need to have innovation at the core of their business models, along with modern workshop
facilities, ongoing investment in staff training and capital equipment, and a keen customer focus and service
outlook.
Modern motor vehicle repair and servicing require costly investment in state-of-the-art diagnostic and
servicing equipment and skills training. The fact that the average age of registered motor vehicles on
Australia’s roads is 10 years has enabled many businesses to continue to trade in ‘older’ technology
vehicle repairs and servicing, thus avoiding decisions on their future. However, with the increasing
affordability of new and later model motor vehicles, there may well be a greater turnover of newer
vehicles in the market, which may hasten the exit of many operators.
The role of VET in the Australian automotive industry must evolve in response to emerging market demand for
reskilling and training. Key trends impacting the automotive industry and, subsequently, the automotive
workforce, include:
• technological developments of the equipment used to service and repair vehicles as well as the vehicles
themselves that must be reflected in the content of vocational training,
• structural changes within the industry and workplaces has led to changing workforce demand, in
particular, the decline of the automotive passenger vehicle manufacturing industry,
• changing consumer preferences have resulted in increased demand for certain sub-sectors within the
industry such as marine and motorcycle,
• legislation, in particular, consumer rights and environmental regulations that must be reflected in the
content of
vocational training,

• learner cohort changes are placing pressure on the VET workforce to meet an array of learner needs
and ensure workers have the requisite foundational skills to meet industry needs.

Regulation and licensing implications for implementation

This section provides information on licensing/regulation requirements for this training package.

Relevant legislation and regulatory requirements

In developing the AUR Training Package components, legislative and regulatory requirements were considered.
Legislative and regulatory requirements differ between States and Territories in Australia and are subject to

Implementation information
Key features of AUR Training Package and the automotive
industry
The industry at glance
The automotive industry is pivotal to the Australian economy, businesses and individuals, touching the lives of
all Australians. The automotive industry is estimated to have contributed $36.4 billion to the Australian
economy in 2014-15, employing approximately 321,000 workers, and comprising between 69,200 and 79,800
businesses. Please note that determining the parameters of the automotive industry is difficult given the
breadth of activities that take place within the various sectors.
The automotive industry comprises of two distinct sectors – the manufacturing sector and the retail, services and
repair (RS&R) sector. The automotive manufacturing sector encompasses the manufacture of motor vehicles,
including:
• cars
• sport utility vehicles (SUVs)
• light commercial vehicles
• buses
• vans
• medium, heavy and special-purpose highway trucks.
The AUR Training Package covers the breadth of the automotive retail service and repair sector and the related
areas of the automotive industry, including occupational areas covering:
• Automotive Electrical
• Automotive Accessory Fitting
• Battery Electric Vehicles
• Bicycles
• Marine
• Mechanical and Specialisation
• Mechanical Heavy Vehicle
• Outdoor Power and Equipment
• Sales, Parts, Administration and Management
• Vehicle Body Repair.

Industry sectors and occupational outcomes of qualifications

Industry sectors
Since 2017, Australia’s automotive industry predominantly comprises of sales, servicing and repair activities.
Ongoing structural change will result in far fewer independent or unincorporated automotive body, service and
repair businesses. Those enterprises seeking to remain in the industry will need to have innovation at the core
of their business models, along with modern workshop facilities, ongoing investment in staff training and
capital equipment, and a keen customer focus and service outlook.
The automotive retail, service and repair sector encompasses:
• light vehicle repair and servicing
• automotive accessory fitting
• battery electric vehicle service and repair
• heavy vehicle repair and servicing
• vehicle and vehicle parts sales
• vehicle maintenance through regular servicing
• the repair of damaged vehicles
• the supply of aftermarket equipment
• vehicle recycling and disposal
© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia
48 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

• fuel retailing
• motorsport
• marine
• bicycles
• outdoor power and equipment.
Furthermore, to survive and prosper, such businesses will need to be regular employers of apprentices and offer
career progression as well as financial and other incentives in order to attract and retain staff. Many argue that
this corporatised, professionally managed and clean workshop image is exactly what is required to change
public perceptions and help entice future recruits into the automotive industry.
Modern motor vehicle repair and servicing require costly investment in state-of-the-art diagnostic and servicing
equipment and skills training. The fact that the average age of registered motor vehicles on Australia’s roads is
10 years has enabled many businesses to continue to trade in ‘older’ technology vehicle repairs and servicing,
thus avoiding decisions on their future. However, with the increasing affordability of new and later model
motor vehicles, there may well be a greater turnover of newer vehicles in the market, which may hasten the exit
of many operators.

Pathways advice
A pathway is the route or course of action taken to get to a destination. A training pathway generally means the
learning activities or experiences used to attain the competencies needed to achieve career goals. There is no
single pathway that applies to everyone; everyone has specific needs and goals.
Within the automotive industry, there is the ability for a person to gain skills, knowledge and experience to
move into other job roles and challenges. Clearly defined pathways are attractive to new entrants, help retain
current workers in the industry and can keep apprentice's enthusiasm levels in what can be seen to be a long
training experience. The training package has pathways built into its design, reflecting job roles in the industry.
When new job roles emerge, or existing ones change, the training package will be modified to mirror this.
There are many different paths to follow to achieve a qualification. Candidates can choose to directly enter a
qualification, such as AUR30520 Certificate III in Marine Mechanical Technology, when a person begins an
apprenticeship as a Marine Technician. They can follow a path through high school until they begin their
apprenticeship, by first completing one or more Vocational Preparation qualifications. Post-trade qualifications

106 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia |

(Certificate IV and Diploma) are available for those wishing to further their skills and knowledge and, perhaps,
move into owning or managing a workshop. Most Certificate IV qualifications have as an entry requirement
a Certificate III qualification.
AUR qualifications include elective units that should be selected according to the learning and pathway needs of
the learner. The choice of elective units is generally negotiated between the learner and/or employer, and the
RTO conducting the training program.
Elective units can be selected from within the training package, or from other endorsed training packages or
accredited courses.
Elective units should be used to provide a vocational focus for the qualification and should be relevant to the:
• qualification level
• job role
• work outcomes
• local industry needs
• area of specialisation (if required).

Qualification pathways and occupational outcomes

Achievement of AQF qualifications provides opportunities for individuals to pursue and achieve their career
goals. Qualifications can be achieved in various ways, including:
• off-the-job training, e.g. attending classroom-based learning programs
• on-the-job training, e.g. apprenticeships, traineeships
• recognition of prior learning
• credit transfer.
The qualification pathways shown on the following pages provide insight into the automotive industry’s career
pathways and entry-level career options. The qualification pathway tables are provided for each sector and can
be used for a variety of purposes, for example:
• the recognition of job roles
• increasing the knowledge of qualification structures for those already in the sector
• increasing the knowledge of career options for those entering the industry
• succession planning
• relating vocations to qualifications or skill sets.

Assessment pathways
The competencies in this training package may be attained in a number of ways, including through:
• formal or informal education and training;
• experiences in the workplace;
• general life experience; and/or
• any combination of the above.
Assessment under this training package leading to an AQF qualification or Statement of Attainment may follow
a learning and assessment pathway, or a recognition pathway, or a combination of the two as illustrated in the
following diagram:

Each of these assessment pathways leads to full recognition of competencies held – the critical issue is that the
candidate is competent, not how the competency was acquired.
Assessment, by any pathway, must comply with the assessment requirements set out in the Assessment
Guidelines of the Training Package, the National Standards for Training Packages and, where relevant, the
Australian Qualifications Framework.

Learning and assessment pathways

Usually, learning and assessment are integrated, with evidence being collected and feedback provided to the
candidate at any time throughout the learning and assessment process.
Learning and assessment pathways may include structured programs in a variety of contexts using a range of
strategies to meet different learner needs. Structured learning and assessment programs could be group-based,
work-based, project based, self-paced, action learning based; conducted by distance or e-learning; and/or
involve practice and experience in the workplace.
Learning and assessment pathways to suit Australian Apprenticeships have a mix of formal structured training
and structured workplace experience with formative assessment activities through which candidates can
acquire and demonstrate skills and knowledge from the relevant units of competency.

Credit pathways
Credit is the value assigned for the recognition of equivalence in content between different types of learning
and/or qualifications which reduces the volume of learning required to achieve a qualification.
© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia
117 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia |

Credit arrangements must be offered by all RTOs that offer training package qualifications. Each RTO must
have a systematic institutional approach with clear, accessible and transparent policies and procedures.
Competencies already held by individuals can be formally assessed against the units of competency in this
training package, and should be recognised regardless of how, when or where they were acquired, provided that
the learning is relevant to the unit of competency outcomes.

© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia

118 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia |

Currently no credit arrangements exist between any training package qualifications and higher education
qualifications.

Recognition of prior learning

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) as explained in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) involves
assessing a candidate’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal) to determine
current competency outcomes. RPL facilitates the progression of candidates through qualifications by giving
advanced standing for learning outcomes they have already achieved or competency they can demonstrate as
already being held. Advanced standing may allow for entry into a qualification and/or provide competency
recognition towards the qualification and may reduce the time required for a candidate to achieve the
qualification.
The recognition of prior learning pathway is appropriate for candidates who have previously attained skills and
knowledge and who, when enrolling in qualifications, seek to shorten the duration of their training and either
continue or commence working. This may include the following groups of people:
• existing workers
• individuals with overseas qualifications
• recent migrants with established work histories
• people returning to the workplace
• people with disabilities or injuries requiring a change in career.
RPL assessment should be conducted by academic or teaching staff with expertise in the subject, content of
skills area, as well as knowledge of and expertise in RPL assessment policies and procedures.
Assessment methods used for RPL should provide a range of ways for individuals to demonstrate that they have
met the required outcomes and can be granted credit. These might include:
• questioning (oral or written)
• consideration of a portfolio and review of contents
• consideration of third-party reports and/or other documentation such as articles, reports, project material,
papers, testimonials or other products prepared by the RPL applicant that relate to the learning outcomes
of the relevant qualification component
• mapping of learning outcomes from prior formal or non-formal learning to the relevant qualification
components
• observation of performance
• participation in structured assessment activities the individual would normally be required to undertake if
they were enrolled in the qualification component/s.
In a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, the candidate provides current, quality evidence of their
competency against the relevant unit of competency. This process may be directed by the candidate and verified
by the assessor. Where the outcomes of this process indicate that the candidate is competent, structured
training is not required. The RPL requirements of the National Standards for Training Packages must be met.
As with all assessment, the assessor must be confident that the evidence indicates that the candidate is
currently competent against the endorsed unit of competency. This evidence may take a variety of forms and
might include certification, references from past employers, testimonials from clients, work samples and/or
observation of the candidate. The onus is on candidates to provide sufficient evidence to satisfy assessors that
they currently hold the relevant competencies. In judging evidence, the assessor must ensure that the evidence
of prior learning is:
• authentic (the candidate’s own work)
• valid (directly related to the current version of the relevant endorsed unit of competency)
• reliable (shows that the candidate consistently meets the endorsed unit of competency)
• current (reflects the candidate’s current capacity to perform the aspect of the work covered by the endorsed
unit of competency)
• sufficient (covers the full range of elements in the relevant unit of competency and addresses the four
dimensions of competency, namely task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills, and
job/role environment skills).

Credit transfer
Credit transfer is a process which provides learners with agreed and consistent credit outcomes based on
equivalences in content between matched qualifications.
This process involves education institutions:
• mapping, comparing and evaluating the extent to which the defined learning outcomes and assessment
requirements of the individual components of one qualification are equivalent to the learning outcomes and
assessment requirements of the individual components of another qualification
• making an educational judgment of the credit outcomes to be assigned between the matched components of
the two qualifications
• setting out the agreed credit outcomes in a documented arrangement or agreement
• publicising the arrangement/agreement and credit available.

Combination of pathways
Credit may be awarded on the basis of a combination of credit transfer plus an individual RPL assessment for
additional learning. Once credit has been awarded based on RPL, subsequent credit transfer based on these
learning outcomes should not include revisiting the RPL assessment but should be based on credit transfer or
articulation or other arrangements between providers.
Where candidates for assessment have gained competencies through work and life experience and gaps in their
competence are identified, or where they require training in new areas, a combination of pathways may be
appropriate.
In such situations, the candidate may undertake an initial assessment to determine their current competency.
Once current competency is identified, a structured learning and assessment program ensures that the
candidate acquires the required additional competencies identified as gaps.

Access and equity considerations

Access and equity relate to the approaches used to make sure training and assessment practices consider and
respond to the individual support needs of learners so that potential learning barriers are eliminated or
minimised. Individual support needs that learners could present with could relate to their:
• age
• gender
• cultural or ethnic background
• disability
• sexuality
• language, literacy or numeracy skills
• employment status
• geographical location.

The design and content of this training package support equitable access and progression for all learners. It is
the responsibility of the RTO delivering and assessing qualifications to:
• ensure that training and assessment processes and methods do not disadvantage individual learners
• determine the support needs of individual learners and to provide access to any educational and support
services necessary.

Some practical ways that access and equity issues could be addressed include:
• modifying assessment processes and techniques for learners who are located at a distance from a campus
location
• checking that materials are culturally appropriate for learners
• activities and assessments are suitable for the language, literacy and numeracy skill levels of learners (while
meeting the requirements of the unit of competency).

Considerations specific to learners with disability

A legislative and regulatory framework underpins and supports the delivery of VET across Australia. Under this
framework, VET providers must take steps to ensure that learners with recognised disabilities can access and
participate in education and training on the same basis as learners without disabilities.
RTOs have obligations to support learners with disability under the Standards for RTOs 2015, Disability
Discrimination Act 1992, and the Disability Standards for Education 2005. RTOs need to provide advice and
information to learners with disability about the suitability of a course, any inherent requirements for the
course, reasonable adjustments that can be made, and support that is available.
Training and assessment practices must give due consideration to learners with disability, and in particular
recognise the diverse range of disabilities and individualised impact that disability has on learners. Disability is
broad and diverse, and can include physical and learning disabilities, chronic medical condition, or mental
illness. RTOs must take an individualised approach to supporting learners with disability, recognising that each
learner’s disability will be specific to that person, and will have a specific impact on their learning experience.
An individual’s disability may necessitate the implementation of specific supports to allow them to participate
in learning.
It is recommended to ask universally (and also on an individual basis) whether a person requires adjustments
to undertake their course. Make it clear that all personal information will be handled confidentially and that
this question is only asked for the purposes of being able to offer support and arrange reasonable adjustments.
Learners with disability do not have to disclose their disability, but by making it clear that disclosure is only for
the purposes of providing support so they can access and participate in VET equally, learners are more likely to
feel comfortable disclosing. If a learner does choose to disclose, they must be consulted to determine what
supports or reasonable adjustments should be put in place for them.
It is important that all staff are made aware of what their responsibilities are in negotiating and implementing
adjustments and supports.
Examples of educational and support services that can assist learners with disability meet course requirements
include:
• offering study support and skills programs, including language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) programs
• providing equipment, resources and/or programs to increase access for learners with disability
• using trained support staff including specialist teachers, note-takers and interpreters
• flexible scheduling and delivery of training and assessment, including allowing longer time where
appropriate, and adjusting delivery methods and communication techniques
• providing learning and assessment materials in alternative formats.

Reasonable adjustment for learners with disability

Reasonable adjustments can be made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning resources and/or
assessment tasks to accommodate the support needs of a learner with disability. The purpose of reasonable
adjustments is to make it possible for learners to participate fully. It is not to give learners with additional or
different needs an advantage over others, to change course standards or outcomes, or to guarantee success.
A reasonable adjustment in learning and assessment activity needs to be justifiable and uphold the integrity of
the unit/qualification. An adjustment is reasonable if it can accommodate the learner’s support needs while also
considering factors such as the views of the learner, the potential effect of the adjustment on the learner and
others, the costs and benefits of making the adjustment. Reasonable adjustments should be negotiated on an
individualised basis, recognising that each person with disability will have specific learning needs and
requirements for adjustment.
Inherent requirements are the fundamental parts of a course that must be met by all learners in order for them
to be deemed competent. They are the abilities, skills and knowledge learners need to undertake the course —
those components which, if removed, would compromise the learning outcomes. Learners with disability
should be provided with reasonable adjustments to enable them to meet these inherent requirements, provided
this would not cause unjustifiable hardship to the RTO. However, if a learner cannot meet the inherent
requirements, even with adjustments, then they cannot undertake the course. Learners should be given as
much information as possible to allow them to make informed decisions about whether they will be able to meet
inherent course requirements.
Adjustments must:
• be discussed with and agreed to by the learner with disability
• benefit the learner with disability

120 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

• maintain the integrity of the competency standards

• be a reasonable expectation in a workplace or training and assessment environment.

Adjustments are not required if they could:

• cause the RTO unjustifiable hardship
• harm other learners.

Making reasonable adjustments requires the RTO to balance the need for change with the expense or effort
involved in making this change. If an adjustment requires a disproportionately high expenditure or disruption,
it is not likely to be reasonable.
Reasonable adjustments can encompass a range of areas including the physical environment, teaching delivery
and format, utilisation of assistance equipment and reduction of study load. Examples of reasonable
adjustments that can assist learners with disability to participate fully in training and assessment include:
• accessible classrooms
• changes to class scheduling
• note-taking or interpreting support
• modification to presentation mediums and techniques or teaching practices
• course materials, information and learning tasks in alternative formats
• alternative assessment formats, timeframes or tasks
• availability of assistive technologies or specialised equipment
• allowing a carer or support person to be present in the learning environment.

People with low level foundation skills

The way in which foundation skills are used in the workplace must be considered. To find out what these
requirements are, consider the workplace documentation, communication, and numeracy required for the task.
It is also important to consider what are points of ‘key risk’ to a workplace around the application of these skills?
Where can things go wrong if something is not:
• Read and interpreted correctly?
• Written down correctly?
• Said clearly to the right person?
• Interpreted properly when following an instruction?
• Measured accurately?
This will change from industry context to industry context; and differ from sector to sector. It may also differ
between workplace contexts within each of those sectors.
Assessment tasks need to be designed to accurately assess competence. To be fair, valid, reliable and flexible
they must allow candidates to demonstrate all the skills. The assessment task must only require the same level
of foundation skills as the unit of competency, and not become a barrier to the candidate being able to
demonstrate competence.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners

It is very likely that aspects of this training package will be delivered to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
peoples.
Non-Aboriginal trainers and assessors should acknowledge that Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
peoples experiences of the world can differ greatly from mainstream Australian experiences. Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander culture is a well-established, complex, proud, adaptive and adoptive, deserving of respect.
Many Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and their families have had negative experiences in
mainstream education. These experiences often have a negative impact on learners’ self-confidence, so
strategies to rebuild positive learning experiences and attitudes need to be an integral part of training and
assessment programs for Indigenous people.
Showing respect of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander culture requires an understanding of the protocols
of the local community. Protocols vary between different groups and trainers and assessors should always check
with a contact, or an Elder in the local community about issues to be aware of in the training and assessment
environment.

Foundation skills
Foundation skills are the non-technical skills that support an individual’s participation in the workplace, in the
community and in education and training. They describe the language, literacy, numeracy (LLN) and
employment skills that are essential to performance and are explicitly identified in the foundation skills field of
a unit of competency, which:
• identifies the essential foundation skills that are not explicit in the performance criteria of the unit
• describes the application of each skill in context of the performance criteria
• should be considered as an integrated part of the unit for assessment purposes.

The language, literacy and numeracy skills are represented by the five core skills set out in the Australian Core
Skills Framework (ACSF): Learning, reading, writing, oral communication and numeracy.
The employment skills are described using:
• the skills set out in the employability skills framework: Teamwork, Initiative and enterprise, Planning
and organising, Problem solving, Self-management, and Technology.

Key features of the ACSF

The ACSF describes each of the five core skills across three interactive dimensions as outlined in the table below:
1. Five levels of performance ranging from 1 (low level performance) to 5 (high level performance)
2. Four performance variables that may influence a person’s performance at any time:
• The nature and degree of support available,
• Familiarity with context,
• Text complexity, and
• Task complexity.
3. Three Domains of Communication, broad contexts within which the core skill may be used:
• Personal and community (related to expressing personal identity and achieving personal goals, and
understanding and interacting within the wider community),
• Workplace and employment (refers to activities that an individual may be involved in as a member of
an organisation or that may be conducted by someone working alone), and
• Education and training (refers to any form of structured learning).

Describing performance
ACSF levels of performance are described using:
• Indicators, which are statements that provide an overview of exit performance at each level,
• Focus Areas, which are the strands within each Indicator against which Performance Features are
organised,
• Performance Features, which are detailed descriptors of what an individual is able to do at each level, and
• Sample Activities, which are specific examples of what a person may be able to do at a particular level of
performance within each of the Domains of Communication.
The units of competency that were updated as part of this version specify within each unit those foundation
skills essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

The ACSF in Action Assessment

An individual’s level of performance in any core skill is determined by whether they can demonstrate
performance in each of the Indicators at that level. Performance in an Indicator is determined using the
Performance Features. In a single assessment task, it is highly unlikely that all or most of the Performance
Features can be covered or demonstrated. Consistent with good practice, performance of an Indicator should be
determined over time and across a number of different assessment tasks.
When using the ACSF to determine performance levels, specialist LLN practitioners will need to use their
professional judgement, taking context and purpose into account and recognising that certain Performance
Features will be more important than others in specific contexts. Also, while Performance Features are
represented as developing progressively, in reality an individual’s performance may fluctuate depending on a
range of factors.
When using the ACSF for assessment, an assessor should also be confident that there is sufficient evidence to
support the assessment decision. This is particularly important for summative assessment where performance
should be demonstrated on several occasions in a range of text types and/or contexts.
In an initial assessment it is often not possible to generate this range, so decisions will be made on less evidence
and may need to be confirmed in the early weeks of training.

124 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

Spiky profiles
The ACSF recognises that an individual may be operating across different levels within a core skill,
demonstrating some Performance Features across two or more levels, or performing more strongly in one
Domain of Communication than in another. It is also likely that an individual will not perform at the same
ACSF level across all five core skills. This can be captured visually in what is called a ‘spiky profile’ (Bateson
2001).
Using the ACSF, an individual’s performance across the five core skills can be benchmarked and a spiky profile
constructed. This provides valuable information about an individual’s areas of strength and specifically
identifies any areas where further training could be beneficial.

Scenario1: Helping meet the core skill requirements of a new job

Dean has been offered the opportunity to undertake training to prepare for a lead technician position in an
automotive manufacturing plant. He has enrolled in Certificate IV in Automotive Manufacturing. An LLN
specialist used the ACSF to compare the core skills required for this Certificate with Dean’s current skills.
In the assessment, the teacher/trainer chose texts and tasks from Dean’s workplace context. However, when he
introduced some unfamiliar texts and tasks relevant to the training, which involved using technical language for
report writing, it was clear that Dean was not confident and requested additional support. This was particularly
marked in the Writing assessment.
The spiky profile shows that Dean would benefit from developing his Reading, Writing and Oral
communication skills, and the LLN specialist will work with the workplace trainer to integrate targeted core
skill development with the Certificate IV training.
The following chart demonstrated Dean’s core skills profile.

125 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

Scenario 2: Pinpointing strengths and learning needs

Greg has enrolled in the Certificate III in Automotive Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology. He attends a pre
assessment interview at the local TAFE institute and an LLN specialist assesses his skills as shown in the figures
below. Greg’s overall spiky profile shows that his ACSF level of performance vary across the five core skills. The
assessor knows that the numeracy requirements of the Certificate III are moderate with a number of units at
level 3 and 4 of the ACSF.

Although his overall Numeracy level is assessed at ACSF level 3, further analysis of Greg’s Numeracy skills
against the three Numeracy Indicators identifies that he would benefit from some pre training and support in
Numeracy and mathematics, particularly in relation to Indicators .09 and .11. This would help him to better
identify the mathematics required within a task and improve his skills in representing mathematical outcomes
and communicating them to others.

Health and safety implications in the industry

Work health and safety (WHS) requirements are covered either by:
• embedding requirements in the elements/performance criteria of units of competency
• including specific WHS units in qualifications.
In jurisdictions where model WHS laws have not been implemented, RTOs are advised to contextualise units of
competency by referring to the existing WHS legislative requirements.
In the automotive industry, health and safety is an integral part of every work function. Safety has been
imbedded in the training package at the unit of competency level and individual safety units have been
developed and included at the qualification level.
Each unit of competency explicitly identifies health and safety requirements in the performance criteria. The
assessment requirements prescribe health and safety evidence requirements in the performance and knowledge
evidence.
For example, at the lower qualification levels, the identification of hazards and the use of personal protective
equipment are essential requirements. Individuals should not only perform the task as required, but also use
appropriate safety equipment and clothing and be capable of identifying hazards.
At the higher qualification levels there is a strong focus on not only identifying hazards, but also on assessing
and controlling risks (adverse outcomes associated with hazards). These risks range from death, injury and
illness, to financial loss and prosecution. Risk management covers facilities and equipment, planning, training,
labour organisation and work procedures.

Safety in the workplace

Manual handling injuries are the most common type of injury occurring in automotive workshops. The injuries
occur from handling heavy or awkward objects, heavy lifting, and prolonged or sustained work in awkward
postures. This injury trend occurs across all types of vehicle repair, maintenance or installation work, and on all
types of vehicles.
Given the nature of the work there is always the risk of severe injury or fatality. Some risks are obvious, such as
vehicles falling from hoists or jacks, being hit by a passing vehicle while carrying out roadside work, or tyres
exploding during inflation. Other risks are less obvious such as the long-term effects of breathing asbestos
fibres or fumes from solvents and automotive paints. While there may be risks associated with this type of work,
these risks can be avoided.
Employers have a duty to minimise the risk of injury at their workplace. This duty is set out in detail in the
Occupational Health and Safety Act 1985. Under this Act an employer can be held responsible for the safety of
the workshop (workplace), its equipment and its contents, the safety of the systems of work used by employees
and the proper training and supervision of employees to keep them safe at work.
Regulations made under the Act provide additional instruction on how particular hazards, such as asbestos,
hazardous substances, manual handling and plant, are to be managed.
Employees also have a duty to take reasonable care for their own health and safety at work and to avoid
endangering the health and safety of any other person by anything they do, or fail to do, at the workplace.
Guidance material that is available from Safe Work Australia (https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/about-us)
may help employers fulfil their obligations. Other sources of information include your industry association,
suppliers’ and manufacturers’ advice, Australian Standards, training courses, advice from consultants,
experienced practitioners, unions, insurers, rehabilitation providers, legal practitioners, researchers, inventors,
auditors and others.
Together these contribute to the ‘state of knowledge’ about hazards in automotive workshops and how to
eliminate or control them.

Resource and equipment requirements

RTOs must make sure that all resources and equipment required to train and assess units of competency are
available.
Details of specific resources, including equipment and materials essential for assessment, are listed in the
Assessment conditions sections of the assessment requirements for each unit of competency.

Legal considerations for AUR learners in the workplace/on

placements
Legal requirements that apply to specific industries and VET vary across each state and territory and can
regularly change. Contact the relevant state or territory department/s to check what legal requirements apply.
There are also several responsibilities, both legal and ethical, of the individual working in the automotive
industry, for example working as a used car salesperson, a technician or a first-year apprentice, the worker
must be aware of his or her responsibilities as well as those of their employer and of the public.

Other information relevant to implementing AUR Training

Package
Requirements for assessors
Assessor requirements are identified in the Assessment Conditions section of assessment requirements for each
unit of competency. All assessors must meet the requirements set by the applicable registering body (refer to
the section ‘Who can deliver and assess a qualification?’ in this Guide).

Training and assessment in simulated environments

Units of competency in the AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package may be delivered and
assessed in the workplace or in a simulated environment.

© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia

127 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

To maintain the integrity of training and assessment RTOs, trainers and assessors need to keep pace with
industry technologies and ensure that learning activities and assessments accurately reflect workplace activities.
RTOs will need regular contact with industry to ensure the currency and validity of all activities conducted in
simulated environments.
All assessors must consider relevant care and due diligence when assessing units of competency.
The AUR Training Package identifies in the assessment conditions where simulation can be used for assessment
purposes.
Where simulation is identified in the Assessment Conditions of a unit of competency it must be realistic and
fully replicate the sector’s work environment. It must be sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of the sector’s
workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills, and job
role environment skills.

Workplace simulation criteria

In conducting training and assessment in a simulated workplace environment, trainers and assessors must
make sure that the simulated environment gives the learner the opportunity to meet the following critical
criteria:
1. Quality – The work is of the standard required in the industry.
2. Productivity – The work is performed within a timeframe appropriate in the industry.
3. Safety – The work is performed in a manner that meets industry safety standards.
Where simulations meet these criteria, RTOs can be confident that learners are ‘work ready’ on successful
completion of units of competency.
Simulations should provide opportunities for integrated assessment of competence that include:
• performing the task (task skills)
• managing a number of tasks (task management skills)
• dealing with workplace irregularities such as unexpected problems, breakdowns and changes in routine
(contingency management skills)
• fulfilling the responsibilities and expectations of the job and workplace, including working with others
(job/role environment skills)
• transferring competency to new contexts.
To further enhance the validity of assessment processes using simulation, the assessor should consider:
• assessments covering a range of interconnected units of competency
• use of assessment checklists to ensure that all performance evidence and knowledge evidence requirements
have been met
• use of self-assessment, peer assessment and debriefing activities
• use of authentic workplace documentation.
Assessment activities must be realistic and reasonable in terms of scale.

Assessment with direct observation

Advice in this section of the Guide is intended to supplement guidance and standards applied by VET regulatory
authorities. In all instances, advice about compliance of assessment practice should be sought from the
appropriate regulator.
Assessors must be able to clearly demonstrate current and relevant industry knowledge and experience to
satisfy the mandatory regulatory standards as set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations
(RTOs) 2015/Australian Quality Training Framework.
The Standards for Training Packages support robust assessment and assessor requirements and the AUR
Training Package describes the automotive retail, service and repair industry’s requirements for assessors and
assessment.
Assessment requirements in the AUR Training Package aim to strengthen industry’s confidence that candidates
who have been deemed competent against components of the AUR Training Package are able to demonstrate
the skills and knowledge described in units of competency in the workplace in a range of conditions and to
industry’s standards. To achieve this aim, all units of competency contain Assessment Requirements that
stipulate in the Assessment Conditions that: ‘Assessment must include direct observation of tasks’.

© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia

128 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia

To address this requirement, the qualified assessor would observe the demonstration of assessment tasks either
in the workplace or in a simulated environment. It is also acceptable for the appropriately qualified assessor to
use a workplace supervisor in order to collect evidence for assessment in a manner specified and supervised by
the assessor. This is regarded as supplementary evidence.
Assessment of evidence, and judgement about competency, must be undertaken by the qualified assessor.1 The
qualified assessor is permitted to use both direct observation and evidence collected by the workplace
supervisor when undertaking assessment. Industry members have advised that the workplace supervisor must
be able to provide evidence of industry experience, such as a resume or equivalent documentation, and have
current industry skills directly relevant to the training and assessment being provided.

Australian apprenticeships
Apprenticeships and traineeships are legally binding training arrangements between an employer and an
employee that that combine training with paid employment.
Apprenticeships and traineeships are established and administered by State or Territory Training Authorities
(STAs). STAs are the government departments in each state or territory responsible for the operation of the
VET system (including Australian Apprenticeships).
The Australian Apprenticeships website offers information about apprenticeships and traineeships and includes
links to the websites for STAs. Visit www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au for more information.

VET for secondary school students

VET programs enable school students to acquire workplace skills and knowledge while till at secondary school.
Successful achievement of a VET program provides a school student with a nationally recognised AQF
qualification, usually as part of a senior secondary certificate.
VET programs are packaged and delivered in various ways across Australia. The three main delivery
arrangements used are:
• schools hold RTO status
• school sectoral bodies (such as Boards of Studies or regional offices) hold RTO status on behalf of a group
of schools
• schools work together in partnership with RTOs.
In some state and territory school systems, school students who work part-time in an appropriate workplace
may use this to fulfil work placement requirements. Virtual or simulated work placements may also be

Training and assessment issues for the school sector

© 2021 Commonwealth of Australia

130 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia |

Implementation of the AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package within the school sector,
while encouraged, needs to ensure:
• the currency of skills and knowledge of those who train and assess school students – particularly as
expressed in the Standards for RTOs
• access to current industry equipment, facilities and training resources so that students acquire a realistic
view of workplace realities and conditions
• comprehensive coverage of foundation skills, performance and knowledge as outlined in the unit of
competency and assessment requirements for each unit of competency
• current and realistic learning and assessment experiences.

Qualifications
Qualifications are created by grouping units of competency into combinations that meet workplace roles.
Qualifications come with packaging rules that set out the overall requirements for delivering the qualification,
for example, the number of core units, and the number and source of elective units.
Qualifications are aligned to Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualification types. VET qualifications
are at levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 of the AQF.
The AQF provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent framework for all qualifications in post-compulsory
education and training in Australia. In the VET sector it assists national consistency for all trainees, learners,
employers and providers by enabling national recognition of qualifications and Statements of Attainment.
For a full explanation of the AQF, see the AQF website: http://www.aqf.edu.au.

Qualification structure
The structure of qualifications is based on templates prescribed by the Standards for Training Packages 2012.
The contents of each qualification field in this training package are explained below.

Qualification code
Each qualification has a unique eight-character code:
• the first three characters identify the training package
• the first number identifies the qualification level
• the next two numbers identify the qualification’s position in the sequence of qualifications at that level
• the last two numbers identify the year in which the qualification was endorsed. (Where qualifications
are added after the initial training package endorsement, the last two numbers may differ from other
training package qualifications as they identify the year in which those qualifications were endorsed).

For example:

AUR

Units of competency
Units of competency are the nationally agreed statements of the skills and knowledge required for effective
performance in a particular job function.
Units of competency describe work outcomes as agreed by industry. As such, they do not describe the
procedures necessary to perform a role, but rather, identify the skills and knowledge, as outcomes, that
contribute to the whole job function. Each unit of competency describes:
• a specific work activity and what it involves
• skills (and level of skills) that are needed to perform the work activity
• conditions under which the work activity may be conducted
• knowledge and skills required to perform the work activity
• foundation skills required to perform the work activity
• how learners can show they are competent in the work activity
• performance and knowledge evidence that must be considered in assessing the competency of the unit
• conditions under which evidence for assessment must be gathered.
Units of competency are not aligned to levels within the AQF because they can be included across a range of
qualification levels. However, the qualification in which a unit is first packaged in a training package is
indicated by the first digit in the unit code.

What is competency?
The broad concept of industry competency is the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard
of performance expected in the workplace.
Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves:
• performing individual tasks
• managing a range of different tasks
• responding to contingencies or breakdowns
• dealing with the responsibilities of the workplace, including working with others.

Workplace competency is the ability to apply relevant skills and knowledge consistently over time and in the
required workplace situations and environments.
Competency standards are determined by industry to meet industry skill needs and focus on what is expected of
a competent individual in the workplace.

Unit of competency structure

Units of competency are based on templates prescribed by the Standards for Training Packages 2012. Under
these Standards, a unit of competency comprises two separate documents, i.e. a unit of competency document
and an assessment requirements document.

Unit code
Within each training package, each unit of competency has a unique code that is based on templates prescribed
by the Standards for Training Packages 2012. Unit of competency codes are assigned when the training
package is endorsed, or when new units of competency are added to an existing endorsed training package. Unit
codes are developed as follows:
• a code is made up of no more than 12 characters, normally a mixture of uppercase letters and numbers with
the first three alpha characters denoting the training package identifier, as in AURKTJ004 Conduct non-
destructive testing of wheel and rim assemblies
• the first three characters signify the training package – Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training
Package
• the fourth character indicates the industry sector (i.e. L is Mechanical - Light Vehicle)
• the fifth and sixth character indicates the function or skill area (i.e. TB is Technical - Brakes). – in the above
example
• the last three characters, identify the position in the sequence of units for this industry sector, function or
skill area

© 20212021 Commonwealth of
134 | AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package PwC's Skills for Australia |

• where changes are made that alter the outcome, a new code is assigned (usually by increasing the number
by 100, AURAFA003 is superseded by AURAFA103), and the title is changed.

003/103 means
that this is the 3rd

Contextualisation of units of competency by RTOs

RTOs may contextualise units of competency to reflect local skill needs. Contextualisation could involve
additions or amendments to the unit of competency to suit particular delivery methods, learner profiles, or
specific enterprise requirements. Any contextualisation must ensure that the integrity of the outcome of the
unit of competency is maintained.
Industry requirements, as described in training or job specifications, can be used to contextualise
a unit of competency.

Industry terms in the AUR Retail, Repair and Service Training Package
The meaning of the following three industry-specific terms used in the AUR Training Package has been
provided in response to industry requests for clarification.
Overhaul refers to the complete dismantling and rebuilding of a major vehicle assembly, involving the
replacement or reconditioning of all parts that have been subject to wear or other forms of deterioration so that
the component, when installed in a vehicle operates entirely within manufacturer specifications, has a service
life comparable to the original unit. Component overhaul can only be carried out when it is removed from the
vehicle. To overhaul components, the operator must be able to identify deteriorating parts and perform
dismantling and assembly processes as well as acceptable methods of reconditioning.
Reassembly is part of the ‘rebuilding’ process. It includes the replacement or repair of damaged and/or worn
components following various failure and wear analysis tasks, and the reconstruction of the original vehicle
assembly according to manufacturer procedures and specifications.
Repair involves rectifying identified faults and restoring vehicle systems to an acceptable status of operation.
This rectification can involve welding, aligning, tightening, securing or adjusting components – actions that are
not part of normal service operations. Repairs can also involve replacing worn, damaged or failed components
once fault identification tasks have been undertaken on the component. A repair is a lesser operation than an
overhaul and may be carried out while the major assembly/assemblies of the system are still in the vehicle or
have been removed.
