Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to estimate material and labour costs for competitive quotation/tenders for electrotechnology work exceeding $AUD20 ,000.It includes reading and understanding job specifications, adjusting for material take-offs, determining labour and site requirements, costing and documenting.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

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.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include:

adjusting estimates

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements

checking and documenting estimates

creating, documenting, forwarding and filing quotations

dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

documenting and submitting quotations

estimating completion dates

estimating electrotechnology project material and labour costs

estimating electrotechnology projects for a competitive quotation/tender for which the value must exceed $AUD20,000

identifying risk control measures

planning extent of projects

sourcing materials and human resources

working within timeframes.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

contingency

costing

design brief and specifications

documents used in estimating and costing margins

material take-off methods, including a list of materials with quantities and types of material

money labour rates method of costing

life cycle costing analysis

project estimates, including quotations and adjustments

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures

resources to be quantified and costed

resource (labour, plant, equipment and materials).

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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

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.
