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

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential

In the range from planned shutdown to emergency response

Demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

Use EITHER fusion cooking OR reaction to manufacture TWO batches of varnishresin including inprocess testing according to manufacturers and job specifications OHS requirements enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

assessment may take place on the job off the job or a combination of these Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate
