Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge required to:

• recognise the importance of material properties and qualities

• apply approved procedures

• take appropriate action to resolve faults or report faults to appropriate personnel

• explain and implement emergency shutdown procedures.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:

• material cutting production standards are met consistently

• upstream and downstream communication is timely and effective

• procedures and work instructions are read and interpreted correctly

• problems are identified and appropriate action is taken (i.e. the problem is fixed or reported)

all safety procedures are followed.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Manufacturing Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

applying knowledge of the materials, equipment and processes sufficient to recognise out of specification products, process problems and materials faults

identifying hazards associated with the job/work environment

applying the hierarchy of control to the hazards

distinguishing between causes of faults such as:

raw materials

mechanical

electrical/instrumental

reading and interpreting typical product specifications, job sheets, procedures, material labels and safety information as provided to operators

writing skills to the level of completing workplace forms

basic numeracy skills to determine that two 25 kg bags are needed to make up a requirement for 50 kg

Required knowledge

organisation procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards

different types of materials and their behaviour when cut, different cutting equipment and suitability for materials

controls of cutting equipment

routine faults in products and routine problems in process

causes of faults such as materials deficiencies, heat, changes to materials during the cutting process, equipment adjustments/set-up and equipment maintenance requirements

original manufacturer instructions and guidelines for the safe use of the cutting tools/equipment

relevant procedures relating to safe working practices prescribed for the equipment

local occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation and/or regulations

site-specific instructions based on production requirements

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Context

This unit of competency applies to operators working either independently or as part of a work team.

Work requirements

Work requirements may be determined from:

job/shop orders
