HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MODULE

Welcome to the Module Servicing Automotive Battery. This module

contains training materials and activities for you to complete.
The unit of competency (SERVICE AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY) contains
knowledge skills and attitudes required for Hairdressing NC II. It is one of
the specialized modules at National Certificate level II.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order
to complete each outcome of the module. In each learning outcome are
Information Sheets and Operational Sheet. Follow these activities on your
own and answer the self-check, perform the procedural checklist at the end
of each learning outcome. You may remove a blank answer sheet at the end
of each module (or get one from your facilitator/trainer) to write your answer

facilitator for assistance.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
You may already have some of the most of the knowledge and skills
covered in this learner’s guide because you have:
 been working for some time
 Already completed training in this area
If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are already competent
in a particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally
recognized so you don’t have to do the same training again. If you have a
qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous training, show it to
your trainer. If the skill you acquired is still current and relevant to the
unit/s of competency they may become part of the evidence you may
present to RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills, discuss
with your trainer.
At the end of this module is a Learner’s Diary. Use this diary to record
important date, jobs undertaken and other workplace events that will assist
you in providing further details to your trainer or assessor. A Record of
Achievement is also provided for your trainer to complete once you complete
the module.
This module was prepared to help you achieve the required
competency in SERVICING AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY. This will be the source
of information for you to acquire knowledge and skill into this particular
trade independently and at your own pace, with minimum supervision or
help from your instructor.
 Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the
Training of this unit. Read through the module carefully. It is
