Purpose▾
The purpose of this part-qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as an Original/Aftermarket Auto-Electrical System or Component Fitter. The 'Fitter' removes and installs a range of original and/or aftermarket auto-electrical systems and components.
Rationale▾
This part-qualification emerged during the revision of the Automotive Electrician qualification. The part-qualification is designed for learners who will remove and replace/refit original/ aftermarket auto-electrical systems or components in auto-electrical environments like dealerships, independent workshops or fully-fledged auto-electrical workshops. This part-qualification will fulfil the need of many people employed as 'Fitters' who have no formal qualification or recognition in original/aftermarket auto-electrical systems or components. The part-qualification is aimed at both new entrants to the automotive sector as well as those who have been working in the automotive industry in the environments described above. This part-qualification will also provide learners with a foundation to pursue the following part-qualifications: • Bench Worker. • Automotive Electrician trade qualification. Upon completion of this part-qualification, learners will gain official recognition for their competencies and will be positioned to assume higher-level responsibilities within their respective organisations. Learners who successfully complete this part-qualification can participate effectively in the automotive industry, whether in small, medium or large enterprises. This part-qualification benefits society in that person removing and replacing/refitting original/ aftermarket auto-electrical systems or components will be adequately trained to do so. The part-qualification will increase employment opportunities, thereby benefitting the economy of the country.
