Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for drawing
  • Determine the extent of drawing task from documentation or reports and from discussion with appropriate personnel.
  • Obtain resources needed for the task in accordance with enterprise procedures and check for correct operation and safety.
  • Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others involved at the work site.
       
Element: Perform drawing
  • Carry out drawing task industry standards and enterprise procedures.
  • Select methods for dealing with unexpected situations based on discussions with appropriate personnel, job specifications and enterprise procedures.
       
Element: Complete and report on drawing task
  • Shut down equipment according to enterprise procedures.
  • Document drawing task and notify appropriate personnel in accordance with enterprise procedures.
       


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.

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

The candidate should demonstrate the ability to:

use computer aided drawing systems effectively to produce 2D drawings representing engineering applications, including:

a wide range of geometric shapes

efficient use of library files

application of the appropriate drawing standards

selection of most relevant drawing techniques

hard copies of drawing

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Access to the workplace and resources including:

documentation that should normally be available in a water industry organisation

workplace specific equipment and technology

supervision and experienced team members to provide observations, feedback and third party reports

enterprise operating procedures and work allocation

relevant codes, standards, and government regulations.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.

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

Validity and sufficiency of evidence require that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice

a decision of competence should only be made when the assessor has complete confidence in the person’s competence over time and in various contexts

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be authenticated and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge. Questioning will be undertaken in a manner appropriate to the skill levels of the candidate, any cultural issues that may affect responses to the questions, and reflecting the requirements of the competency and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

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:

use personal computer to access and use CAD software

interpret advanced drawings

Requiredknowledge:

use of CAD software used in organisation

geometric construction methods

radiations in three dimensions using total stations and/or theodolite and EDM/Data recorder

CAD software functions including simple drawing production, methodology for drawing variables and creating layers

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 may include:

supervisor

leading hand

foreman

manager

site engineer

trainer

mentor

teacher

team member

Resources may include:

computer software

library files

stationery

drawing standards

software reference documentation

equipment

computer hardware

printers

plotter

digitisers

Enterprise procedures may include:

the use of tools and equipment

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

reporting and communication

manufacturers' specifications and operational procedures

Drawing task may include:

complex 2D engineering drawings requiring

the use of a wide range of features typically

found in commercial drawing packages

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.
