Cert III Automotive Mechanic case studies

The Certificate III in Automotive Mechanical Technology is a trade-level vocational qualification for people who service, diagnose and repair light vehicles or related machinery. It suits apprentices building their first trade skills, experienced technicians who want their competence formally recognised, and career changers entering the industry. Assessment is competency based: you must demonstrate skills in a real or simulated workshop as well as answer knowledge questions, and many candidates also submit workplace evidence and a portfolio gathered on the job. The written and oral components test your understanding of safety and environmental practice, hand and power tool use, engine mechanical systems, electrical and electronic systems, brakes, steering and suspension, drivelines and transmissions, cooling, lubrication and fuel systems, emission control and inspection procedures, and the documentation and customer communication expected of a tradesperson. The Cert III Automotive Mechanic case studies are 5 cases and about 1,737 words.
