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!

ICPSU216C - Inspect quality against required standards

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

Carry out inspection of quality during job

  1. Job is collected/received and inspected against job specifications according to enterprise standards and procedures
  2. Quality specifications and tolerances are understood
  3. Variation to standards is monitored and corrective action taken to rectify the problem according to enterprise procedures
  4. Inspection and testing procedures are applied at regular intervals to determine conformity with specifications and to minimise waste

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:

correctly inspect the quality of work against job specifications

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

evidence should include a record of at least one month during which no reasonable complaints or reports of faulty goods or documentation are received from customers (internal or external) relating to work handled by the candidate

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 both. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

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 providing feedback to supervisors on quality problems and issues

collecting, analysing and organising information by accessing information on quality requirements eg tolerances and applying these in the workplace to ensure a quality product

planning and organising activities by checking quality requirements before commencing the job

teamwork when participating in quality reporting procedures at all levels

mathematical ideas and techniques by applying inspection and testing procedures as relevant

problem-solving skills applied by identifying quality problems and resolving or reporting them

use of technology by using relevant inspection and testing procedures

Required knowledge

checking quality requirements before job commencement

quality standards that have been set by the customer

enterprise procedures to achieve quality

necessary quality areas that should be inspected

quality inspection procedures

timing of quality inspections be carried out

results that unnecessary inspection have on production output

control instruments that are used in quality inspection

faults identified response

responsibility for the quality of the product

documentation procedures

specifications that are recorded on the job sheet

necessary information that needs to be documented

recipient of this information
