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

Evidence of the ability to:

produce multiple metal items that are technically sound

apply safe work practices with metal-working equipment and materials

apply knowledge of the properties of metals and their behaviour.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

metal-working materials, tools and equipment

a work space in which items can be constructed safely.

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:

direct observation of the candidate using metal-working techniques

questioning and discussion about candidate’s work processes

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to liaise with others about work requirements

critical thinking and analytical skills to:

evaluate ways of achieving required effects and results

experiment with different metals and metal-working techniques

literacy skills to:

read technical data and instructions about use of materials and tools

interpret technical information and instructions about the use of particular metal-working techniques

planning and organising skills to select and organise materials and equipment

problem-solving skills to identify and resolve technical metal-working issues

numeracy skills to:

make calculations and measurements

use numerical features of metal-working equipment

self-management skills to evaluate the quality of own work and identify opportunities for improvement

technical skills to safely use materials, tools and equipment for metal-working processes.

Required knowledge

current metal-working technologies and equipment and their application to different purposes

properties and applications of metal-working materials and techniques

reasons for the use of particular materials and techniques to achieve particular effects

common technical problems that arise in the metal-working processes of cutting, bending, shaping, soldering, brazing and welding

sustainability considerations for metal-working

OHS requirements for materials and equipment used in metal-working.
