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 the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment

Plan the conduct of insulated glass unit manufacturing operations

Set up, operate and monitor insulated glass unit (IGU) manufacturing equipment and the quality testing of IGU

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

As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to prepare, set up, manufacture and conduct the appropriate quality testing of five differing IGU patterns to the capacity of the IGU machine

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment, workplace operating procedures, unprocessed materials, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.

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 insulated glass unit manufacturing 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

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
