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:

prepare coatings and adhesives according to job specifications

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

prepare TWO different coatings or adhesives for specific end-use requirements to meet job and workplace specifications and the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

coatings, adhesives and substrates.

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:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

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

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by labelling coatings, adhesives and additives

collecting, analysing and organising information by accessing and using MSDSs and other data sources on coatings and adhesives to ensure safe and efficient production

planning and organising activities by selecting coatings and adhesives required prior to preparation

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating weights, volumes and formulations

problem-solving skills by checking quality and suitability of coatings and taking appropriate action if problems arise

use of technology by using manual and electronic measuring equipment

Required knowledge

selecting coatings/adhesives to match process and job requirements

suitability of the coatings/adhesives determined for the particular process

characteristics of the coatings/adhesives matched to the job/substrate

adhering coatings/adhesives to the substrate

preparing coatings/adhesives

OHS concerns related to the preparation of coatings/adhesives

correct handling procedures

details that are required in order to calculate quantities of coatings/adhesives

details that are required to record the formulation of coatings/adhesives

storage, handling and labelling of coatings/adhesives

OHS concerns related to the storage and handling of coatings/adhesives

environmental conditions that are relevant to the storage of coatings/adhesives

conventions that should be adhered to when labelling coatings/adhesives

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept and information that is included in these documents

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. Italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below..
