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

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Explain the impact of machine temperature and pressure on product quality and output

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Press at least five different types of materials

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

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment

Resource implications

Appropriate materials, steam pressing equipment, care labels and work orders.

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, basic plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, co-ordination 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 co-operative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements

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

use the workplace technology related to steam pressing, including pressing equipment and effects of pressing

Required knowledge

the types, characteristics, uses and limitations of steam presses

the operating controls and principles which effect the steam pressing equipment

the effect of steam on the range of materials which may be pressed

requirements for minimising damage to and maintaining contaminant-free pressed fabrics

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

Steam pressing operations cover work involving the operation of steam pressing equipment, monitoring operations and work quality, maintaining personal safety and the safety of others

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machines. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment

Task planning is to cover:

required temperatures and warm up/cool down times

key parts of the materials to be pressed which require checks for quality of work

work area housekeeping requirements

safe and suitable work area

Materials to be pressed may include but are not limited to:

plain and patterned fabrics

lining materials and leather used in the manufacture of soft furnishing items

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Machine manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of machinery

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

Material lifting and holding will be impacted on by:

machine type

personal right- or left-hand preference of the operator

manipulation requirements for the materials

special pressing requirements for different parts of the pressed panels
