Introduction
The Practical Assessor should be fully aware of the aim of the assessment and be able to conduct a practical assessment in such a way that the true abilities of the candidate are demonstrated.
These involve technical abilities but also the ability for the candidate to satisfactorily perform the tasks in an actual maintenance environment where basic principles of human factors apply (such as work performed under stressful conditions i.e. time or management pressure etc).
