Evidence Required
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 | This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to manufacture at least two joinery units using the materials listed in the range statement, providing evidence of the ability to: identify types of joinery unit products identify components of joinery unit products identify construction and assembly method and process sequencing identify maximum and minimum standards and governing authority comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations organisational quality procedures and processes applied within context of manufacturing components for joinery units identify machining processes required and select appropriate machines set up machines for machining applications safely and correctly safely and efficiently operate machines to accurately carry out designed processes to set-out material select and use appropriate processes, tools and equipment for hand application work set up and operate portable power tools safely and correctly demonstrate safe and efficient procedures in setting up work and using hand tools demonstrate safe and efficient procedures in holding components during manufacturing processes identify typical faults and problems that occur and action required to rectify them communicate with others to ensure safe and effective workshop operations. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. Resource implications for assessment include: work area and static machines appropriate to task working drawings and specifications relevant to activity procedure documents appropriate to manufacturing processes tools, plant and equipment relevant to manufacture processes materials and components appropriate to activity. Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. |
Method of assessment | Assessment methods must: satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only verified under the particular assessment circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments. Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that: competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and 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 with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence. Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed. Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff. |
