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!

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Identify specifications and test procedures

  1. Product quality specifications are read, drawings interpreted and test parameters are identified
  2. Test methods for each required test parameter are identified and the most efficient test method is noted
  3. Any requirement for testing by personnel external to the work area is identified and appropriate permission is obtained
  4. Design features that impact on testing and inspection are identified
Product quality specifications are read, drawings interpreted and test parameters are identified

Collect, organise and understand information related to multi-trade work instructions and work orders, building and structural plans and safety procedures

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Identify materials used in the work process

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Arrange and conduct a minimum of four (4) different processes covering sampling, inspection and testing

Analyse test results and interpret outcomes against requirements

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Use workplace technology related to the coordination, including communication equipment, time and management aids and other measuring devices

Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

General quality systems theory

Sampling techniques for commonly encountered materials

Inspection techniques and faults common within the sector products

Testing techniques (destructive and non-destructive) relevant to the sector and related equipment/aids

Work flow in relation to required times and stages where quality checking is required

Range Statement

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance.
