Employability Skills
This unit contains 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. | |
Critical Aspects of Evidence | Locate, interpret and apply relevant information Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment Identify materials used in the work process Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self or others prevent damage to goods, equipment or products maintain required production output and product quality Identify, set up and operate CNC machining and processing centre equipment to complete detailed profiling, including: development and application of sub-program development and application of parametric program, and application of CAD/CAM functions Conduct operator maintenance on the machining and processing centre equipment Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment |
Resource Implications | CNC controlled equipment, standard operating procedures, unprocessed materials. |
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 should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency. |
Context of Assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
|
Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to CNC machining and processing centre operations, work orders, plans and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, compute input data and estimate material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate CNC machining and processing centre problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage use the workplace technology related to CNC machining and processing centre, including machining and processing, tools, equipment and measuring devices |
Required knowledge |
types, characteristics, uses and limitations of CNC machining and processing centres CNC theory, practices and techniques characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced workflow processes procedures for reporting materials, product or equipment faults |
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. | |
CNC machining and processing centres are to include three axis machining centre and may include: | multi-tasking machining centres flat-bed routers and mortiser |
Material to be machined and processed is to include: | solid timber and manufactured board |
Unit scope | Work involves reading and interpreting drawings, selecting and installing tooling, setting jigs and fixtures, programming skills (sub-programs and parametrics), performance of CAM functions, downloading and storage of data to complete detailed profiling and other specified operations |
Unit context | OH&S requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machining and processing centres Competency may be demonstrated in workplaces involved in the manufacture of solid timber furniture, domestic furniture, commercial furniture, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and/or furniture components |
Tools and equipment are to include: | stand-alone or integral computing systems and machine-specific tools |
Personal protective equipment | Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices |
Information and procedures | Workplace procedures relating to the use of tools and equipment Work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication Manufacturers' specifications and operational procedures |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
