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!

Set up and monitor jointing operation

  1. Check equipment for operational effectiveness and adjust set up to meet production requirements.
  2. Select, check and prepare cutters to suit finger profile and timber cross sections.
  3. Cut trial joints and check finger profiles against specifications.
  4. Set feed rates, guides, conveyors, glue spreader and curing controls to suit finger profile, timber cross section characteristics and glue requirements.
  5. Machine trial cleats, join, and test for strength and appearance.
  6. Accept or reject trialled material and dispose of in line with environmental protection practices.
  7. Resolve any machining problems, make final adjustments and start the jointing process.
  8. Monitor finger jointing processes; identify and resolve processing and equipment faults.
  9. Record and report production outcomes to appropriate personnel.
