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!

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

location, interpretation and application of relevant information, standards and specifications

compliance with organisation safety policies and procedures and OHS legislation/regulations/codes of practice applicable to operations

compliance with organisation policies and procedures including quality requirements

safe and effective operational use of tools and equipment

communication and working effectively and safely with others

individually monitor and maintain a multi-stage metals treatment plant over 5 full shifts during which:

pre-start checks on all stages are to be completed to organisation requirements

solutions are to be maintained to specifications using approved sampling testing and remedial processes

plant operations are to be maintained to specification

product quality is to be maintained to specification

rectification of at least three different treatment related metal product faults including all organisation documentation and reporting requirements (Some simulation may be required to ensure adequate scope).

Context of and specific resources for assessment

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

speak clearly and directly in order to report faults to specialist support personnel

apply teamwork to a range of situations

solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators

show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas

access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to ensure quality goals are maintained

manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities

take responsibility for organising own work priorities.

Required knowledge

workplace and equipment safety requirements

organisation safety policies and procedures

automotive industry manufacturing terminology

organisation production techniques and quality requirements for vehicle painting

metals treatment plant functions, flow systems, control and documentation systems

common metals treatment plant product faults/defects

treatment plant related tools and equipment types, characteristics, uses and limitations

flow control systems, mechanisms and adjustment processes

basic chemical uses and reactions in relation to the treatment of metals for painting

testing processes and specifications related to titration, pressure and coating integrity

processes for the calculation of material requirements

material Safety Data Sheets

plans, drawings and specifications

hazardous materials (Dangerous Goods) regulatory requirements

materials handling, storage and environmentally compliant waste management processes

relevant Australian Standards.
