Automotive Skill Sets
Researching the
Identification and Development of Skill Sets
in the Automotive Retail, Service & Repair
and Automotive Manufacturing
sectors
During February 2008 ATA
distributed an on-line industry survey
seeking advice regarding the need and
requirements for Skill Sets in automotive
training packages. If you completed this
survey, we would like to thank you for your
participation.
Whilst response levels were disappointing, the data gathered in the
surveys indicates a good degree of support for
the addition of Skill Sets to both areas
covered by the relevant training packages.
The full report based on the survey results
can be downloaded
here
On the basis of the survey data gathered,
the following areas may be considered for
the development of Skill Sets:
ATA is now seeking industry experts in the
above areas to assist with further
consultation and the possible development of
the units of competence which may be
required to form Skill Sets. All
comments, feedback and issues relating to
Skill Sets can be lodged via the relevant
Design Improvement Registers, or
alternatively by
contacting
Lorraine Smith (RS&R) or
Michael Littlechild (Manufacturing) at
the ATA office on 03 9479 3480.

This
self-paced training program is designed to
assist the acquisition of diagnostic skills
across the training packages. Whilst the
program concentrates on passenger motor
vehicles, the model and processes can be
applied to other areas of the industry.
Introduced
by Peter Brock, the CD ROM makes available
more than 120 scenarios for the learner to
work through in order to apply the
diagnostic model. A virtual workshop
stimulates procedures and processes used in
the workplace. The CD addresses whole
or parts of more than 17 diagnostic-related
competency standards within the Automotive
Retail, Service and Repair Training Package.
