Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


People still developing their jewellery expertise apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They produce finished items building on and combining a range of techniques to support the ideas of the work.

At this level, work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce jewellery through the exploration and application of a range of techniques, tools, equipment and materials.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Not applicable.


Employability Skills

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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

Evidence of the ability to:

produce multiple jewellery items or a single major piece that show some technical proficiency in chosen techniques

work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work

adapt the capabilities of jewellery-making techniques and resources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

tools, equipment and materials used to produce jewellery.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

direct observation of jewellery making in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate’s intentions and finished work

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
