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!

Evidence:
|
Production machine to be used to produce components is assessed and considered in tooling design. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Tool design is interpreted and visualised from tooling drawings, prints or plan and checked against customer requirements. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Selected production machine mounting requirements are determined to ensure any special or additional provisions are incorporated in tooling design. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Manufacture tooling
|
|
Appropriate materials are selected and obtained to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment qualities where necessary and accounting for materials availability. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Selected material is tested for hardness as appropriate to aid selection of machine tools, hand tools and hand held power tools to be used to fashion or shape tooling components. Completed |
Evidence:
|
