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

The unit will be assessed in as holistic a manner as is practical and may be integrated with the assessment of other relevant units of competency.

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

Competence must be demonstrated in the ability to recognise situations requiring action and then in implementing appropriate corrective action. Consistent performance should be demonstrated. In particular look to see that:

defects capable of rectification are recognised and dealt with

defects unable to be rectified are identified and product rejected

product is handled appropriately.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment will require access to an operating plant over an extended period of time, or a suitable method of gathering evidence of operating ability over a range of situations.

Assessment will occur over a range of situations which will include disruptions to normal, smooth operation.

Simulation or case studies/scenarios may be required to allow for timely assessment of parts of this unit of competency. Simulation should be based on the actual plant and will include 'walk-throughs' of the relevant competency components. A bank of scenarios/case studies/what ifs and questions will be required to probe the reasoning behind observable actions.

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed in conjunction with:

PMC561080B Organise self

MSAPMSUP106A Work in a team

MSAPMOHS200A Work safely.

Individual enterprises may choose to add prerequisites and co-requisites relevant to their processes

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 include:

recognising potential problems and taking appropriate action

implementing enterprise's standard procedures and work instructions and relevant regulatory requirements within time constraints and in a manner relevant to the operation of the equipment

reading and numeracy to interpret workplace documents and technical information

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

attributes of in-specification product

types of manufacturing blemishes

use of finishing equipment

distinguish between causes of faults such as:

forming

firing

finishing

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

All operations are performed in accordance with standard procedures and work instructions

Enterprise standards

Enterprise standards include:

colour is to standard

shape is satisfactory

structural appearance is to specification

surface finish is to specification

product is to specified size, squareness, profile, concentricity, straightness and flatness

Products

This unit includes all products after firing, such as:

bisque

glost

decoration

Materials and processes

This unit includes:

materials from:

adhesives

cisterns

inserts

insulators

jugs

switch gear

tiles

tessellations

pipes

processes including:

foot polishing

hand assembly

measurements

pin grinding

sorting

tile splitting

operation of all ancillary equipment including:

automatic and manual foot polishers

bench and hand grinders

colour standards

jigs

rulers and tapes

templates

PLCs (but not control panels)

Typical problems

Typical problems may include:

determination of surface quality within specification

colour, shape, structure and surface finish faults

repairing or scrapping of damaged parts

Occupational health and safety (OHS)

All operations are subject to stringent OHS requirements and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and OHS requirements, the OHS requirements take precedence
