The purpose of this unit is for learners to understand the importance of engineering maintenance, and also to develop the practical ability to carry out the removal and replacement of worn or damaged components. Learners should also be able to recognise the need for routine maintenance by using simple diagnostic techniques and statistical data.
Skills and techniques used in this unit will allow the learner to work with confidence in other units, reflect on past experience, and transfer their skills from one sector to another. This is an important aspect of the unit as many sectors are engaged in maintenance operations and will adopt similar strategies to carry out the work.
