Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to spray pre-treatments and protective coatings when an advanced level of skill is required. It includes inspection and interpretation of the coating results using all current industry knowledge and test equipment. Where application of basic single and two pack coatings not containing isocyanates is required unit MEM08014 Apply protective coatings (basic) should be selected.Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Band: AUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Protective coatings include one (1) or more of the following:

conventional

two pack

plural component

Test equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

Holiday and Pin Hole testing

wet and dry film thickness gauges

temperature

relative humidity and dew point

hardness

gloss

adhesion

cure testing

soluble salts

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.
