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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element |
| |
1 | Assess requirements | 1.1 | Establish modification or design requirement |
| 1.2 | Establish design concepts |
| 1.3 | Establish design limitations |
| 1.4 | Consult with specialists/experts as required |
2 | Evaluate options | 2.1 | Define options |
| 2.2 | Determine most appropriate modification |
| 2.3 | Confirm selected option with appropriate personnel in accordance with workplace procedures |
3 | Design modifications | 3.1 | Design modification to meet end use specifications/standards and all legislative or regulatory requirements |
| 3.2 | Verify design in accordance with enterprise procedures |
| 3.3 | Check the modifications will not compromise health, safety and environment (HSE) performance |
| 3.4 | Determine required outcome tests and results to establish conformance to requirements |
4 | Coordinate design implementation and testing in accordance with enterprise requirements | 4.1 | Initiate implementation of the design/modification |
| 4.2 | Coordinate implementation of the design/modification |
| 4.3 | Assess design outcome test results |
| 4.4 | Assess any required variations to the design |
| 4.5 | Prepare documentation to meet enterprise requirements |
5 | Maintain records | 5.1 | Maintain records of design and modification outcomes in accordance with enterprise procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
interpret design requirements
evaluate design options against modification/design requirements
assess and evaluate design concepts
implement and test modifications
apply technical skills, including performing technical calculations
conduct tests and prepare drawings/documentation
communicate effectively within the workplace, including liaising with other departments and consultation with internal or external specialists
establish or interpret procedures, where required
determine report requirements and present information in appropriate formats.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
appropriate design techniques
relevant Australian (or other) design standards
relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice
HSE considerations in relation to equipment/system design
workplace requirements
reporting/recording processes
internal and external stakeholders and sources of expertise
enterprise production processes, facility and materials and how they relate to equipment/system design.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:
a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.
It is desirable that this evidence comes from implemented design projects. However, where the project does not receive sanction to be implemented, or is otherwise not implemented, then sufficient evidence may be able to be obtained from a detailed implementation plan and a simulated implementation.
A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
Assessment should use a real project in an operational workplace.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
