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 carry out advanced FCAW, inspect for and correct defects, and maintain the weld records. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

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 on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit 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 performing advanced welding using flux core arc welding process 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:

depositing fillet and butt welds correctly

performing all weld and preparation requirements

identifying discontinuities that do not meet standard requirements

repairing discontinuities

using preheat methods

interpreting weld requirements and specifications

entering information onto proformas and standard workplace forms

interpreting technical drawings and weld specifications relating to advanced FCAW

using hand and power tools to prepare and weld material using FCAW

using measurement and numeracy skills relating to advanced FCAW and preparation

selecting equipment and consumables appropriate to task

using visual identification of faults/defects

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

in depth knowledge of the properties and characteristics of a wide range of materials

requirements to conform to Australian Standard AS 1554 Structural Propose, Bureau Det Norse Verticas or equivalent

weld procedures and requirements

safe welding practices

use and application of personal protective equipment for FCAW

purpose of pre-welding and/or post-welding heating and the methods of application

instructions, symbols, specifications including bead size, bead placement, reinforcement, weld procedure sheet

discontinuities in relation to standards/requirements

different welder identification systems such as numbering, bar coding, paint coding, letter stamps

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.

Welding equipment

Gases, settings, electrodes and related equipment selected in accordance with welding procedure

Prepared

Preheating, setting up of jigs, fixtures, clamps, etc.

Materials

Low carbon, cast iron, stainless and low alloy steel

Welds

Fillet and butt in horizontal, vertical and overhead positions

Appropriate methods

Oxy acetylene and air act equipment, grinding devices
