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

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Identify and select materials used and any special handling requirements for those materials

Assemble mattress components to construct at least the following:

one pillow top mattress

one standard sprung mattress

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Appropriate equipment and tools, plain and patterned fabrics, padding materials, spring units, fixing materials and tools, work order, workplace information, including work procedures and equipment instructions.

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 will generally 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 work orders, assembly plans, and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment 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, calculate area and estimate other material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate assembly problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the assembly, including tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices

Required knowledge

work requirements, including workplace standards

fabric types and characteristics, common faults and inspection procedures

padding/underlay materials and spring units

risks to health from repetitive actions and prevention strategies
