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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Read and interpret a work/job specification

Identify a range of glass suitable for firing, detailing their uses and limitations

Identify and explain the properties and limitations of semi-molten glass

Identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on fired glass

Fire glass to achieve required outcomes

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the painting of glass with vitreous paints

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to firing glass

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect, organise and understand materials technology and information related to the firing of glass

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

maintain quality records related to firing of glass

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

identify, anticipate and respond to faults in the firing of glass

recognise and respond to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of own worksite and the obtaining and use of tools and materials to avoid any backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and volume, estimate work and material requirements

clarify and confirm work instructions

plan own work within the given task parameters

accept responsibility for given tasks

set, monitor and satisfy personal work goals

satisfy the competency requirements for the job

maintain current knowledge of tools and materials

maintain current knowledge of firing of glass

seek learning opportunities

use the workplace technology related to the firing of glass including computers, measuring devices and recording systems
