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.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform brazing and silver soldering.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, i.e. the candidate is not in productive work, then appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with brazing and/or silver soldering or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

preparing materials

performing brazing/silver soldering

undertaking visual inspection

reading and interpreting routine information on written job instructions, specifications and standard operating procedures

following oral instructions

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

the reasons for selecting specific methods of assembly/alignment

the procedures for minimising distortion of the materials being brazed/silver soldered

the procedures for assembling and setting up the specific heating equipment

the reasons for selecting specific heating equipment

the reasons for selecting specific consumables

conducting test runs

typical applications of brazing and silver soldering processes

the procedures and precautions for preheating the materials to be joined

the effects of the use of inappropriate techniques on the performance of the jointed materials

the effect of inappropriate quantities of jointing material on the performance of the jointed materials

the procedures for normalising the temperature of jointed materials

the consequences of using inappropriate techniques to normalise the temperature of the joint

the procedures for removing excess jointing material

the procedures for inspecting brazed/silver soldered joints

safe work practices and procedures

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.

Materials

Ferrous and non-ferrous

Heating

Oxy acetylene and fuel gas, cylinders, connections, hoses, tips and nozzles

Consumables

Fluxes (resin or powder), all types of silver solder and brazing grades, etc.
