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 manufacture press tools and gauges. 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 press tool and gauge manufacture 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: obtaining and interpreting relevant drawings, prints and/or sample components, specifications and instructions sketching or drawing the tool design incorporating mounting requirements into the tooling design testing tooling materials for hardness preparing sequential plan for the manufacture of the required tooling shaping/producing tooling components to specifications using appropriate machines and machining processes using hand and hand held power tools to fashion/ manufacture tooling components to specification assembling and fitting tooling components using acceptable tool making techniques and procedures producing first-off component/product checking first-off component/product for conformance to specification modifying tooling using appropriate tool making techniques and procedures checking conformance of the component/product to specifications recording/reporting modifications or alterations to original tooling design |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: customers' tooling requirements the type of tooling to be manufactured the machine(s) in which the tooling is to be used the tooling design concept in terms of customer specifications and proposed production machine(s) the performance requirements of the tooling the method of mounting the tooling in the production machine into which it is to be installed the physical properties of a range of tool steels the appropriate materials for each component of the tooling to be produced the reasons for selecting the chosen materials in terms of strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment requirements, and availability the procedures for hardness testing materials the effect of material hardness on machinability of the material the appropriate machinery and tools to be used to fashion or shape tooling components the reasons for selecting the chosen machinery and tooling the reasons for establishing a sequential plan for the manufacture of tooling the procedures for documenting plans for the manufacture of tooling the hand and hand held power tools to be used to fashion/manufacture the required tooling components the reasons for selecting the chosen hand and hand held power tools procedures for fitting/assembling the tooling components the precautions to be taken when fitting/assembling tooling components the appropriate precision instruments for checking the components produced the specifications of the finished product causes of any non-conformance to specification the tool making techniques/procedures to be applied to return the tooling to specification procedures for reporting/recording the conformance of the component/product produced by the tooling to specifications procedures for recording/reporting modifications and/or alterations to tooling design hazards and control measures associated with the manufacture of tools and gauges, including housekeeping safe work practices and procedures |
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. | |
Tooling | Press tools, jigs, fixtures, gauges, special purpose machines and equipment |
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.
