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!

DEFEO808B - Prepare explosives for metal hardening

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

Identify metal hardening requirements

  1. Applicable legislative, work health and safety (WHS), and organisational requirements relevant to the use of sheet explosives are verified and complied with throughout work activity
  2. Instructions, plans and/or workplace check sheets are read and interpreted to identify processes and materials to complete work tasks
  3. Hardening needs are rail measured and the appropriate explosives are identified
  4. Relevant templates used in association with the cutting of the sheet explosives are identified and prepared

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

prepare explosives for metal hardening

maintain the relevant records

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time in a variety of metal hardening environments or in a simulated environment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in an actual or simulated activity.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

licensed explosive workshop

sheet explosives

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed with the following unit:

DEFEO101D Work safely with explosive ordnance

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

identify relevant information

liaise effectively with stakeholders

prepare and present simple reports

provide and receive feedback in a constructive manner

review literature

use appropriate information technology and software

use a variety of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques

Required Knowledge

analysis process

codes of practice

explosive ordnance in relation to hardening steel

information sources

licensing requirements

organisational guidelines and standards

regulatory requirements

relevant legislation

simple research techniques

standards relevant to organisational operations

verbal communication techniques
