The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate, access and interpret all required information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Create a minimum of two exploded assembly drawings, including:

preparation of three-dimensional models

creation of perspective views

exploding the models to expose all components

labelling of all components

management and storage of drawings

Create a minimum of two confirmed job sheets which have the necessary orthographic views, and all required management and inventory information

Convert a minimum of two drawings for CNC application, including the creation of layers, assignment of drawing entities and the protection and storage of converted files

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

Access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the application of drawing and drafting techniques and to the related computing, operational and inventory support systems

This includes real or simulated concepts, work areas, materials, equipment and information on work specifications, customer requirements, organisation procedures, relevant safety procedures and regulations and quality standards

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency, or the potential for consistency, of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be conducted over time and in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant task requirements, work instructions and deadlines.

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any 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.
