Evidence Required

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.

Overview of assessment requirements

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria. The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated. For example, knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit must be demonstrated.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

A range of design criteria is included.

Drawings are undertaken to meet established standards.

Works specifications are prepared.

Estimates are detailed and include contingencies.

Context of assessment

May be assessed through:

on the job

simulated workplace environment

written assignment

short-answer test

oral questioning

observation

or any combination of the above

Relationship to other units(prerequisite or co-requisite units)

To enable holistic assessment this unit may be assessed with other units that form part of the job role.

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

observation of the learner performing a range of workplace tasks over sufficient time to demonstrate handling of a range of contingencies

written and/or oral questioning to assess knowledge and understanding

completion of workplace documentation

third-party reports from experienced practitioners

completion of self-paced learning materials including personal reflection and feedback from trainer, coach or supervisor

Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance

Evidence will need to be gathered over time across a range of variables.

Resource implications

In accordance with a range of variable requirements.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit

Required Skills

interpreting relevant acts, regulations, codes, policies, procedures and standards

interpreting engineering design criteria

engineering drafting

calculating weight, volume, ratio and quantity

Required Knowledge

federal and state government acts

local government regulations

design standards and specifications

drawing standards and specifications

interpretation and analysis of resources costing

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Design manuals may include:

building regulations

Australian standards

state road authority

design manuals

Austroad design manuals

reference texts

council or authority standards

quality assurance manuals

water and sewerage authority and design or industry standards

Council requirements may include:

works specifications

design procedures

Complementary works may include:

other works that can be carried out effectively and cost efficiently whilst resources are available

Contingencies may include:

weather conditions

industrial relations

latent conditions

additional supervision

variation in materials cost and availability

Estimates may include:

day labour

contract labour

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
