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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate, interpret and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements throughout the sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Install and commission CNC software on at least two different machines and

identify requirements of tasks and organise work to achieve goals and results

select and install software programs for the CNC equipment

select and apply appropriate loading techniques

check and adjust machine operations and programming

suggest improvements to CNC controlled operations and where authorised, negotiate changes

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

CNC equipment, software, production materials.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to CNC installation and commissioning, including the relevant technical, regulatory, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of work with site managers, supervisors, and other workers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the coordination of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and calculations required during the installation and commissioning

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate installation and commissioning problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the workplace technology related to the installation and commissioning, including calculators, measuring devices and other computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

computer science theory

CNC control system characteristics, applications and limitations

procedures and techniques for programming CNC equipment

operation requirements of equipment and work systems to be programmed

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. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Unit scope

This unit covers the work involved in installing and commissioning of CNC process and machine control programs used in the furnishing industry

The installation and commissioning of CNC programs is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures, and practices may include requirements recommended by manufacturers/developers

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate analytical and organisational ability, judgement and problem solving skills

Workplace environment
