Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCINF204A - Fabricate and repair metal or plastic structures

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for fabrication and/or repair

  1. Items for repair or fabrication are identified against work plans using industry recognised techniques.
  2. Equipment appropriate to job requirements is selected and confirmed against work plan.
  3. Jointing/welding materials suitable to the job requirements are selected.
  4. Potential and existing hazards in the workplace are identified and reported to the supervisor.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

identify job requirements and select materials, tools and equipment

apply safe work practices including use of PPE

identify and use jointing methods and safe repair/fabrication techniques

clean up after operations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills
