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 ability to

prepare coatings and adhesives according to job specifications

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

prepare TWO different coatings or adhesives for specific enduse requirements to meet job and workplace specifications and the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity

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

coatings adhesives and substrates

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
