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 | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence should be relevant to the work. It should satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include consideration of: the required knowledge and skills tailored to the needs of the specific workplace applicable OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP and housekeeping requirements applicable aspects of the range statement practical workplace demonstration of skills in performing lubrication |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | A workplace assessment must be used to assess: the application of required knowledge on the job the application of skills on the job, over time and under a range of typical conditions that may be experienced in performing lubrication Access to the full range of equipment involved in performing lubrication in a pulp or paper mill is required |
Method of assessment | A combination of assessment methods should be used. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: observation of applied skills and knowledge on the job workplace demonstrations via a mock-up or simulation that replicate part/s of the job answers to written or verbal questions about specific skills and knowledge third-party reports from relevant and skilled personnel written evidence e.g. log sheet entries, checklist entries, test results Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and in keeping with the language and literacy capacity of the learner and the work being performed. This includes conducting an assessment in a manner that allows thoughts to be conveyed verbally so that the learner can both understand and be understood by the assessor (e.g. use plain English and terminology used on the job) A holistic assessment with other units relevant to the pulp and paper industry, mill and job role is recommended Additional information on approaches to assessment for the pulp and paper industry is provided in the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package |
