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:
construct, assemble and finish at least one (1) basic object from metal
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
achieve required production output and product quality
modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
use routine workplace tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices correctly and safely
apply pre-checking and quality techniques to anticipate construction problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage
perform normal operator maintenance of work area to enable work to be conducted safely and efficiently
communicate and work effectively and safely with others
comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements and safety instructions
apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
collect, organise and understand information related to basic plans
use mathematical ideas and techniques for measuring and calculating areas and estimating materials requirements
follow instructions and specifications and ask for help where needed.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge of:
the concept of work flow and its relation to manufacture of objects

hand and portable power tools and their application
mechanical cutting techniques
fabrication and shaping techniques
types of paints, sealants and glues
types of jigs and templates
workshop plant and equipment
manufacture and assembly techniques
common materials used in the manufacture of metal objects.
Assessment should occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
This unit must always be assessed in holistically in conjunction with other units of competency that form part of a specified job function.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Performance must be demonstrated consistently over a period of time.
Workplace for this unit means a manufacturing environment specifically established for learning introductory manufacturing skills. It may be:
a school classroom or workshop equipped to teach manufacturing principles and practices
RTO premises equipped to teach manufacturing principles and practices
an enterprise environment where above average supervision exists and training is occurring. The normal production imperatives have been modified to take into account the training being delivered.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including work instructions, specifications, hand and/or power tools, metal working machinery, workplace records and a suitable work area.
Assessors must:
as a minimum, satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements
have vocational competency in the manufacturing industry at least to the level being assessed, with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the manufacturing industry.
