The 2012 NOA identifies nine "Blocks" of major work activities:
- BLOCK A Common Occupational Skills
- BLOCK B Chassis and Suspension
- BLOCK C Wheels and Tires
- BLOCK D Brakes
- BLOCK E Engines
- BLOCK F Power Transfer
- BLOCK G Electrical Systems
- BLOCK H Vehicle Management Systems
- BLOCK I Fuel and Exhaust Systems
These Blocks are further broken down into Tasks and Sub-tasks.
