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.

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

To achieve competency in this unit, a person must be able to maintain a range of opal cutting machinery and rectify minor faults.

Assessment must confirm the ability to perform operational maintenance and make routine adjustments to equipment and machinery following manufacturers' guidelines. They must also be able to diagnose and rectify minor faults using appropriate tools and working safely.

Competence in this unit must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the range of variables and contexts applicable to the work environment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed in a work environment, in a simulated work environment or in a combination of these situations.

Method of assessment

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered through a range of methods to indicate consistent performance.

Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills and other methods as required.

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).

Assessment of this competency requires access to:

a range of equipment and machinery

a qualified workplace assessor or assessment team.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

perform scheduled maintenance

rectify common mechanical faults

use of appropriate tools.

Required knowledge:

servicing characteristics of machinery and equipment

fault finding techniques in mechanical devices

recording systems for machinery use.

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.

Operational maintenance may include:

daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly servicing schedules.

Equipment and machinery may include:

bench grinder 6 or 8

combination units, for grind, sand and polish

diamond grinding, sanding and polishing units

drum or belt sanders

dry sanding units

free-hand saw

grinding arbours with belt drive

leather or felt polishing units

multi blade saw

slab saw

trim saw

wet sanding units.

Mechanical faults may include:

basic faults reasonably within the scope of a non-mechanic resulting from damage, wear, or malfunction.
