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 | Identify tasks for team | 1.1 | Identify team goals with team members |
| 1.2 | Identify tasks required to achieve goals |
| 1.3 | Identify team and individual safety responsibilities |
| 1.4 | Allocate responsibilities of individuals within the team, in discussion with the team |
| 1.5 | Ensure designated team goals are met |
|
2 | Organise individual daily work plan | 2.1 | Correctly estimate time and resources needed to complete tasks safely |
| 2.2 | Renegotiate responsibilities to meet changes in the workplace |
| 2.3 | Seek assistance from other team members when needed to meet team goals |
|
3 | Participate in team | 3.1 | Acknowledge information and feedback provided by other team members in the work group |
| 3.2 | Provide support to colleagues to ensure designated team goals are met |
| 3.3 | Evaluate the team's performance according to its goals |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
read and interpret work plans, production schedules, job sheets, procedures, material labels and safety information
communicate with team members to:
identify team goals, tasks, priorities and responsibilities
allocate work to team members
organise work plan, timelines and resources
renegotiate responsibilities to meet changes in workplace
provide support and feedback to team members to help achieve goals
recognise routine and non-routine problems
identify when the operator is able to rectify problems, when assistance is required and who is the appropriate source for assistance
take action to resolve problems or report them to appropriate personnel
communicate effectively with team/work group and supervisors
complete workplace records
do basic arithmetical manipulations, including additions, subtractions, divisions, fractions and percentages.
Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job sufficient to operate under routine only supervision and to solve routine problems, including knowledge of:
sources of information about team goals, procedures, timelines/schedules and work priorities
methods for identifying team member strengths/weaknesses/competencies
impact of individual team member strengths/weaknesses/competencies on the allocation of responsibilities and achievement of team goals
prioritisation and delegation of team activities to meet designated goals
communication techniques, including:
listening
questioning
acknowledging
providing feedback
non-verbal communication
routine problems, their probable causes and relevant corrective actions
organisation procedures relevant to the work environment/job role.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operation of an operating plant
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report or other evidence, focusing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency
may use industry based simulation for all or part of the unit particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from demonstration of skills and one or more of:
walk-throughs
pilot plant operation
industry-based case studies/scenarios
‘what ifs’.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) 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.
Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator.
In addition the assessor or anyone acting in subject matter expert role in assessment shall demonstrate both technical competency and currency. If the assessor cannot demonstrate technical competency and currency they shall assess with a subject matter expert who does meet these requirements.
Technical competence can be demonstrated through one or more of:
relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment
appropriate workplace experience undertaking the type of work being assessed under routine and non-routine conditions
appropriate workplace experience supervising/evaluating the type of work being assessed under routine and non-routine conditions
Currency can be demonstrated through one or more of:
being currently employed undertaking the type of work being assessed
being employed by the organisation undertaking the type of work being assessed and having maintained currency in accordance with that organisation’s policies and procedures
having consulted/had contact with an organisation undertaking the type of work being assessed within the last twelve months, the consultation/contact being related to assessment
conducting on the job training/assessments of the type of work being assessed
being an active member of a relevant professional body and participating in activities relevant to the assessment of this type of work.
