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:

perform operational maintenance and make routine adjustments to equipment and machinery following manufacturer guidelines

diagnose and rectify minor faults using appropriate tools and working safely.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to a range of equipment and machinery.

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:

observation of processes and procedures

oral and/or written questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by candidate.

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:

seek assistance and ask questions where required

document procedures and update log books

problem-solving skills to:

diagnose mechanical faults and, where they do not need special attention, rectify them according to manufacturer guidelines

identify hazards and remove them according to manufacturer guidelines

numeracy skills to use numerical features of machinery

self-management skills to perform operational maintenance regularly according to manufacturer guidelines

technical skills to:

perform scheduled maintenance

rectify common mechanical faults

maintain a workshop environment

use 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 saws

grinding arbours with belt drive

leather or felt polishing units

multi-blade saws

slab saws

trim saws

wet sanding units.
