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

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation in the workplace or simulated workplace setting.

Assessment may be conducted while tasks are undertaken either individually or as part of a team under limited supervision.

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

A person should demonstrate the ability to construct a terrazzo panel and repair terrazzo, marble or granite in situ, including the ability to:

apply organisational quality procedures within the context of producing reconstituted stone

select and use appropriate processes tools and equipment to produce reconstituted stone

select stone materials consistent with job specification

ensure accurate setting up of forms or moulds for placement of mix

proportion materials according to specification for mix

adopt and use safe and effective procedures to apply grinding and polishing processes

complete produced stone to specifications for mix and finish

comply with work health and safety regulations and requirements, including safe handling and placement procedures

identify typical faults and problems that may occur when creating moulds, and taking necessary action to rectify them

communicate with others to ensure safe and effective workplace operations.

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 may include:

drawings and specifications relevant to proposed tasks

materials required for composition of proposed mix

moulds or material for formwork appropriate to activities

tools, plant and equipment appropriate to the application processes

work area suitable to tasks.

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using one or more 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

review of relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

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

communication skills to:

enable clear and direct communication

use questioning to identify and confirm requirements

share information

follow instructions

use and interpret non-verbal communication

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

innovation skills to select appropriate tools and equipment, respond to workplace challenges and put ideas into action

numeracy skills to apply measurements and calculate material requirements

planning and organising skills to identify requirements, apply relevant resources and sequence tasks

problem-solving skills to recognise and take action to rectify minor faults and problems

reading skills to read and interpret drawings and specifications

teamwork skills to work with others to action tasks

Required knowledge

materials used to produce reconstituted stone and their characteristics

methods for placing, levelling and compacting concrete

polishing and grinding processes

proportion of materials for different mortar mixes

procedures for safely handling of materials

safe operating methods for plant, tools and equipment used for producing reconstituted stone

types of formwork and moulds for concrete and how they are constructed, cleaned and prepared

workplace and equipment safety requirements, including relevant statutory regulations, codes and standards
