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.

Assessment context

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. 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.

Critical aspects

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with brazing and/or silver soldering or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Assessment conditions

The candidate will be provided with: - All tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate will be permitted to refer to the following documents: - Any relevant workplace procedures. - Any relevant product and manufacturing specifications. - Any relevant codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The candidate will be required to: - Orally, or by other methods of communication, answer questions put by the assessor. - Identify colleagues who can be approached for the collection of competency evidence where appropriate. - Present evidence of credit for any off-job training related to 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.

Special notes

During assessment the individual will: - demonstrate safe working practices at all times; - communicate information about processes, events or tasks being undertaken to ensure a safe and efficient working environment; - take responsibility for the quality of their own work; - plan tasks in all situations and review task requirements as appropriate; - perform all tasks in accordance with standard operating procedures; - perform all tasks to specification; - use accepted engineering techniques, practices, processes and workplace procedures. Tasks involved will be completed within reasonable timeframes relating to typical workplace activities.

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.

Not applicable.

Work undertaken in a production or maintenance environment using predetermined standards of quality, safety and work procedures. Work may be undertaken autonomously or within a team environment. Heating medium can include oxyacetylene and fuel gas. Correct and appropriate consumables may include fluxes (resin or powder), all types of silver solder and brazing grades, etc. Correct and appropriate assembly of heating equipment may include cylinders, connections, hoses, tips and nozzles. All work undertaken to legislative and regulatory requirements.

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.
