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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently recondition guides within organisational requirements

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to, and satisfy, all of the requirements of the elements of this unit and include demonstration of:

following applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to reconditioning guides

following organisational policies and procedures relevant to reconditioning guides

reconditioning guides in line with the work order and within prescribed organisational requirements

removing and replacing saw guides from equipment

assessing the condition of guides in line with standard operating procedures

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of required knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to follow relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to undertaking work applicable to this unit

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI11 Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills

Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the required knowledge

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English

Guides

are alloys secured to a carrier which provide straightness and smooth running of the blade by supporting it, not allowing it to move too far to the left, right or back

Reconditioning is to include:

grinding the guide surface to restore it to a smooth flat surface

machining the guide surface to restore it to a smooth flat surface

Equipment may include:

grinding equipment

metal lathes

milling machines

Communication may include:

verbal and non-verbal language

Grinding

is the process of removing metal to restore a metal surface using grinding equipment

Machining

is the process of removing metal to restore a metal surface using metal lathes or milling machines

Dressing

is the process of cleaning or shaving the top surface of the grinding wheel to remove the build up of old sharpening metal and coolant

Sharpening

is the process of grinding and honing the cutting bits in metal lathes or milling machines

Scored material is to include:

guides which are deeply scratched or scraped by:

irregular running of the blade

poor operation of the saw

blunt or un-tensioned blade

Speeds and feeds

is the speed the grinding wheel rotates or machine cuts at, too fast and it may burn the metal, too slow and it may produce a rough finish or grab the guide

power feed controls movement of the guide to the desired rate
