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, 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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations

apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment

follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment

achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

prepare equipment for testing (including zeroing and calibration checks)

correctly conduct non-destructive testing on a minimum of four (4) components. Each component must be tested using at least two (2) testing methods as detailed in the range statement. Each of the following must be covered:

select and apply testing methods

verify results

record outcomes

perform work within team quality and timeliness standards

work effectively with others

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

The following resources should be made available:

process equipment

material work instructions and deadlines

tooling and equipment.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and 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.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

technical skills to the level required to use workplace technology related to non-destructive testing, including tooling, equipment and measuring devices, and to use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate issues to avoid reworking and wastage

literacy skills to the level required to collect, analyse, organise and understand information related to non-destructive test results

numeracy skills to the level required to use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements required for the work

problem-solving skills to the level required to anticipate changing information requirements or influences

team skills to the level required to work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

planning skills to the level required to plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the work area, and obtaining equipment and material to avoid backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

principles and methods of penetrant, magnetic and Rockwell and Brinell hardness testing, including limitations, advantages and hazards associated with testing
