Description
The Pearson NATEF correlated task sheets, all written by James Halderman, are designed to provide guidelines for the student who is performing a task as specified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). The NATEF task sheets cover all of the tasks specified by NATEF for the following areas:
Engine Repair (A1)
Automatic Transmissions/Transaxles (A2)
Manual Drive Trains and Axles (A3)
Suspension and Steering (A4)
Brakes (A5)
Electricity/Electronics (A6)
Heating and Air Conditioning (A7)
Engine Performance (A8)
Each task sheets is easy-to-read and contains the following features:
Designated lines for vehicle identification information
Designated line for the name of the student technician
Step-by-step procedure needed to be performed and space for the student o fill in the specified exact procedure for the vehicle being serviced or tested
Most task sheets are illustrated to help bring the topic to life
Includes a grading scale for the instructor to rate the student as to how well the task was performed
A place to record the time on task.
Each Pearson automotive textbook has a NATEF correlation chart in the appendix and on the Pearson website that correlates each task sheets to the 2013 NATEF tasks. Other correlation charts correlate the task sheets to:
The 2008 NATEF Standards- For programs that are NATEF certified under the 2008-2011 standards.
The 2012 NATEF Standards - For programs that are NATEF certified under the 2012 standards.
