Unit of Competency MEM19053A - Create complex findings and mechanisms for jewellery items
Description This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to design and create jewellery, which includes complex findings and mechanisms. It includes assessing the application of the design brief in the final outcome.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the production of functional and decorative jewellery, by a jeweller, that incorporates complex findings and mechanisms. Applications may include catches, clips, fittings and spring-loaded mechanisms that require and employ complex production techniques. Band AUnit Weight 4

  • Produce a model or maquette of the selected design
  • Determine and obtain resources and equipment to undertake the task
       


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 produce jewellery items, which include complex findings and mechanisms, according to a design brief.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

implement OHS workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures

demonstrate the creation and production of jewellery items on more than one occasion and in different contexts. This includes:

development of a sketchbook of drawings and notations that record:

ideas and design options generated

concept development

relevant research

plans for production solutions

production of tests and experiments, where appropriate

production of jewellery items to specification, which include complex findings and mechanisms, that function appropriately on application.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

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

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

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

Required skills include:

researching information

sketching and interpreting drawings

generating ideas and concepts

working with a wide range of materials and techniques

using relevant tools and equipment for producing objects

preparing and maintaining jewellery tools and equipment (e.g. hammers, stakes, files and vices)

working effectively with others

communicating effectively

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

concept development techniques

purpose, function and maintenance of jewellery equipment

techniques/manufacturing methods for jewellery production

function and application of jewellery findings and mechanisms

soldering and fusing techniques for jewellery

binding and locating techniques

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.

Appropriate personnel

Appropriate personnel may include:

supervisor

manager

trainer

mentor

teacher

team member

client

Complex findings and mechanisms

Complex findings and mechanisms may include:

catches for bracelets

catches for necklets

removable pearl enhancers or pendants

sliding brooch fittings and safety locks

threaded or hinged earring clips

spring-loaded mechanisms

multi-functional jewellery items

Jewellery production

Jewellery production may include:

maquette production

soldering

fusing

crimping

folding

forging

hinge making

fabricating

forming

Surface finishing techniques

Surface finishing techniques may include:

OHS requirements

OHS requirements may include:

legislation

protective equipment

material safety management systems

hazardous substances and dangerous goods code

local safe operation procedures

awards provisions

Environmental requirements

Environmental requirements may relate to:

liquid waste

solid waste

gas, fume, vapour, smoke emissions, including fugitive emissions, and dust

excessive energy and water use

excessive noise

Enterprise procedures

Enterprise procedures may include:

the use of tools and equipment

instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs

manufacturer specifications

operational procedures

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.
