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.

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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to fabricate and assemble metal frames

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Complete work from product specification data sheets

Identify and select product materials

Fabricate frame and sash components, including:

cutting

tooling

routing

milling

drilling

crimping

Identify, select and install component hardware, including:

weather seals

wheels

stays

hinges

guides

locks

Assemble frames, including:

glass

gaskets

tapes

sealants

adhesives

fasteners

Reveal linings and flashings in accordance with AS2047, Section 6

Label and certify frames in accordance with AS2047, Section 8

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Frame components, consumables, workplace operating procedures, personal protective equipment, an appropriate work area, tools and equipment.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate work requirements, optimise component and material sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the fabrication and assembly of metal frames

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to frame production

workplace safety system requirements related to the fabrication and assembly of metal frames

operation of tools and equipment used in the fabrication and assembly process

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

relevant Australian Standards

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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
