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. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform preparation and forging of material using drop and upset methods on a range of metals, and a range of drop forging and upset forging equipment including cold upset forging equipment. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with selecting, setting up, and operating drop and upset forging equipment or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

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 |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: inspecting dies and preparing dies and materials aligning dies and punches replacing dies operating drop/upset forging equipment die preparation material preparation detecting and correcting defects removing flash or fins calculating material volume, weight, allowances, heat wastage, flash, fin |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: drop or upset forging techniques characteristics of forging equipment safety work practices and procedures hazards and control measures associated with drop and upset forging, including housekeeping incorrect/correct alignment of dies, punches dies (preheating, preparation, lubrication, defects, conformance, replacement) materials pre-heating relevant tools, techniques and equipment setting, adjusting, operating forging equipment features of defects in drop/upset forged articles such as, galls, folds, cracks ways of correcting defects ways of removing flash, fins from drop/upset forged articles calculations for material volume, weight, allowances, heat wastage, flash/fin |
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. | |
Equipment | May include: drop forging hammer/press, open die forging hammer using closed loose die or horizontal upsetting machine (heading machine) |
Materials | May include: ferrous materials (steel) or non-ferrous material (copper, aluminium bronze) |
Lubricants | Graphite bearing oils/greases or cellulose granules, waxes |
Correct removal | Ejector pins, drafts in die (angle) |
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.
Observation Checklist
| Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appropriate equipment is selected which accounts for size of material and procedures. | |||
| Dies and punches are correctly selected for specific operations and equipment. | |||
| Die replacement is correctly determined with regard to relief allowances, cracking, dimensions, etc. | |||
| Equipment is correctly and safely set up, adjusted and operated. | |||
