Nil
This unit contains employability skills.
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. | |
Critical Aspects of Evidence | Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment Apply ventilation standards Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self and others prevent damage to goods, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality Bend and form cane for a minimum of three furniture items, including two or three seater lounge oval dining table dining chair Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment |
Resource Implications | Access to plans, hand and/or power tools, equipment, machines, cane and a work area. |
Method of Assessment | Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency. |
Context of Assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant machines, tools, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here
