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

Assessment context and methods

Assessment for this unit of competency will be on an operating plant. 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. 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 competency unit (eg, those parts of element 3 referring to dealing with customers). Simulation should be based on the actual plant and will include 'walk-throughs' of the relevant competency components. Simulations may also include the use of case studies/scenarios and role plays.

Critical aspects

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:

concrete is delivered in full, on time and in specification

there are good relations with the customers

there is good liaison with the batching plant.

These aspects may be best assessed using a range of scenarios/case studies/what ifs as the stimulus, with a walk-through forming part of the response. The assessment activities should include responding to a range of problems.

Resource implications

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. A bank of scenarios/case studies/what ifs will be required as will a bank of questions which will be used to probe the reasoning behind the observable actions.

Other assessment advice

This unit may be assessed in conjunction with:

PMCSUP280A Manage conflict at work

PMCSUP281A Deliver customer service.

Individual enterprises may choose to add prerequisites and corequisites relevant to their processes.

Essential knowledge

Knowledge and understanding of the equipment sufficient to recognise problems and the appropriate action to be taken.

Knowledge of the enterprise's procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and in a manner relevant to the operation of the equipment.

Competence includes the ability to:

apply and/or describe:

relationship between mixing time/water cement ratio and product quality

importance of slump

quality procedures

handling techniques to maintain quality

communicate with customers

determine, and meet customer requirements

as is relevant to the practical operation of the equipment.

Required Skills and Knowledge
Range Statement

Range of variables

Context

This competency unit includes:

determining and adding the correct amount of water taking into account required specification and moisture/water already in the mix

measurement of slump or similar tests

customer service and product knowledge

knowledge of relevant road rules and waste disposal requirements.

It does NOT include the driving of the truck (which is a prerequisite).

Typical problems include:

sites with poor access/unstable soil

transportation/site delays

site conflicts

disposal of agitator washings.

This competency includes the operation of all ancillary equipment and the operation of plant using PLCs where appropriate.

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