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!

CPCCCO3049A - Apply and finish sprayed concrete

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

Plan and prepare.

  1. Work instructions, work health and safety (WHS) requirements and other information relevant to the work are identified, confirmed and applied for planning and preparation purposes.
  2. Plant, tools and equipment consistent with job requirements are selected and checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified and reported before work begins.
  3. Material quantity requirements are identified and calculated according to plans, specifications and quality requirements.
  4. Materials appropriate to the work application are obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use.
  5. Environmental requirements are identified for the project according to environmental plans and regulatory requirements.

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

This unit of competency could be assessed by performing a range of tasks in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

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

A person should demonstrate the ability to:

apply and finish wet and dry spraying concreting methods to at least two projects for a minimum of 10 square metres each, to job specifications

locate, interpret and apply relevant information, standards and specifications relating to applying and finishing sprayed concrete

comply with site safety plans and procedures

comply with organisational policies and procedures relating to applying and finishing sprayed concrete while maintaining quality requirements outlined in job specifications

safely and effectively operate and use plant, tools and equipment required to apply and finish sprayed concrete

communicate and work effectively and safely with others.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit:

must be in the context of the work environment

may be conducted in an off-site context, provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

must meet relevant compliance requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

an induction procedure and requirement

realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices

support materials appropriate to activity

workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies

safety data sheets.

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using a combination of the following methods:

direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions

questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

learning skills to:

evaluate own actions and make judgments about performance and necessary improvements

respond to change, such as differences in work site, and environmental and quality requirements

numeracy skills to:

check levels of lubricants in tools

calculate and confirm correct quantities of materials for work tasks

oral communication skills to:

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, and share information

report work site hazards to appropriate personnel, including faults in tools, equipment or materials

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

reading skills to:

interpret documentation, including drawings and specifications

understand written instructions, procedures and signage

interpret manufacturer instructions for safely handling tools and equipment

writing skills to complete equipment fault forms

Required knowledge

types, characteristics, uses and limitations of plant, tools and equipment used when applying and finishing sprayed concrete

types, location and usage of relevant safety information:

job safety analyses (JSA) and safe work method statements (SWMS)

safety data sheets (SDS)

safety manuals and instructions for plant, tools and equipment

signage

environmental and work site safety plans

principles of concreting, including:

concrete placement

concrete spray finishing techniques

curing practices and durations

general construction terminology

processes for material storage and environmentally friendly waste management

processes for calculating material requirements

quality requirements, including specified finishes

Range Statement

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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included.

Work health and safety requirements must comply with to state and territory legislation and regulations and project safety plan, and may include:

assistance of others or the use of manual or mechanical lifting devices with handling activities where size, weight or other issues, such as disability, are a factor
