Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to service and repair watches with different types or combinations of calendar and other dial indications. This work is often performed in conjunction with major servicing on both mechanical and quartz watches.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

liaising with customer, verifying condition and performance, and identifying repair costs

dismantling, reassembling and lubricating calendar mechanisms using appropriate workshop tools and equipment

servicing and fault finding and addressing faults in calendar watches and ensuring correct fitting and functions

performing inspection and adjustment of calendar change mechanism

applying correct amount and type of lubrication in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications

synchronising dial indications with calendar change mechanism

recording and documenting repairs.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

types of calendar watches

types of calendar drive mechanism operation

power reserve indicator construction and operation

calendar/dial indications component part names

repair/replacement options for calendar and dial indication mechanisms

lubrication techniques for calendar and dial indication mechanisms

fault-finding and inspection techniques of calendar and dial indication mechanisms.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in servicing calendar and other dial indication mechanisms for watches at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
