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

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

Assessment for this unit of competency will be in a work environment or a simulated work environment.

Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to:

establish design/modification requirements

assess design and modification options

organise implementation of design/modification

ensure work meets specifications

apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations

maintain accurate records

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. This requires access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the design of equipment and system modifications for applications within a manufacturing context.

This includes real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, manufacturer's instructions, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards, organisation procedures and customer requirements.

Method of assessment

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills may include (but may not be restricted to):

interpret design requirements

apply technical skills, including performing technical calculations

conduct tests and prepare drawings/documentation

evaluate design options

communicate effectively within the workplace, including liaising with other departments

establish or interpret procedures, where required

determine report requirements and present information in appropriate formats

Required knowledge

Required knowledge, to the breadth and depth required to design equipment and system modifications may include (but may not be restricted to):

appropriate design techniques

relevant Australian design standards

OHS considerations and environmental factors in relation to equipment/system design

safety and environmental aspects of relevant enterprise activities

workplace procedures and reporting/recording processes

relevant regulatory requirements and codes of practice.

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.

Procedures

Procedures may be written, verbal, computer-based or in some other form. They include:

all work instructions

standard operating procedures

formulas/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions

any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant

For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. Responsible Care) and government regulations

All work will comply with procedures

Modification/design requirements

Modification/design requirements may include (but is not restricted to) the following factors:

production,

facility,

OHS

sustainability

Design concepts

Design concepts may include (but are not restricted to) the following requirements:

process,

material,

quantity,

cost and

outcome

Design limitations

Design limitations may be determined from (but are not restricted to) the following as applicable:

codes,

regulations and

technical documentation

Design

Design activities relate to processes which are based on established principles and practices, and that require modifications determined by experience and analysis

Activities may involve (but are not limited to):

design research and consultation with internal or external specialists

assessment and evaluation of design concepts

design implementation and testing of modifications

Applicable regulations and legislation

Applicable regulations and legislation may include (but are not limited to):

occupational health and safety legislation and regulation relevant to workplace activities

relevant Australian design standards

workers' compensation legislation and regulation

environmental legislation and regulations

industry codes of practice

Australian (or other) Standards

Appropriate action

Appropriate action includes:

determining problems needing action

determining possible fault causes

rectifying problem using appropriate solution within area of responsibility

following through items initiated until final resolution has occurred

reporting problems outside area of responsibility to designated person

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state, territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between Performance Criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence
