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!

Evidence Guide

Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to experiment with a range of materials and processes to develop and select a design concept.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently: implement OHS workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures apply skill and knowledge in materials and construction processes to experiment with and develop design concepts test and assess the viability of design concepts use and produce design documentation.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
Method of assessment	Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering 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 where required.
Guidance information for assessment	Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

fine detail manufacturing processes

workplace hazards and emergency procedures

various components of jewellery items

appropriate measuring devices and recording methods

Required skills include:

developing designs

production skills in order to experiment with design concepts

Parameters for design process	Parameters for design process may include: availability of materials and equipment budget timelines required criteria design brief
Market conditions	Market conditions may include: fashion trends price and availability of materials and other resources disposable income of target market purchasing preferences
Sustainability considerations	Sustainability considerations may include: impact on environment (e.g. generation of waste and by-products resulting from production or end use, and use of precious or rare materials) impact on greater society (e.g. health risks to those obtaining materials or providing resources, and community values with regard to design features) impact on economy (e.g. contribution to financial wellbeing of community)
Future directions for jewellery and object designs	Future directions for jewellery and object design may include: new uses and applications new materials new technologies and equipment new markets or market conditions changes to pricing, distribution or other marketing variables
Elements and principles of design	Design elements include: colour direction form light line mass point shape size space texture time tone value Design principles include: balance contrast dominance emphasis harmony movement pattern proportion rhythm unity

Design tests	Design tests may include, but are not limited to: market feedback testing strength of components and whole piece development and testing of prototypes or models colour fastness testing of fixing mechanisms, glues and finishes protection of precious components transportability
Design documentation	Design documentation may include: drawings and illustrations photographs specifications production plan
OHS considerations	OHS considerations may include: legislation protective equipment material safety management systems hazardous substances and dangerous goods code local safe operation procedures award provisions
