Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver FPICOT2222B, 'Produce laminated beams'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Produce laminated beams' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria

Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer recommendations 1.5. Assembly jigs required for production are specified and prepared 1.6. Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements |
2. Cut boards for beams | 2.1. Pre-startup checks are carried out on equipment in line with site requirements 2.2. Condition of boards is visually assessed and moisture content checked 2.3. Boards are straight or scarf cut, optimising quantity and eliminating faults where possible 2.4. Cut boards are segregated in line with length and marked in line with site requirements 2.5. Defective components are rejected and disposed of in line with site procedures and environmental requirements 2.6. Assembly jigs are stored for further use or disposed of in line with site procedures and environmental requirements |

Glue is mixed to site requirements using manufacturer recommended glue-handling techniques 3.3. Glue spreader is set to apply even coating to components and glue line is applied with minimal wastage in line with standard operating procedures 3.4. Components are laid in jigs ready for joining with allowable faults, joins and grain in line with construction standards and grading rules 3.5. Press is started, and controls and operation are checked in line with standard operating procedures 3.6. Press is set with jigs and beam is positioned to the correct orientation 3.7. Load and heat are applied to the beam in line with site requirements 3.8. Beam is checked and removed from the press |
4. Prepare beams for despatch and report | 4.1. Finished beams are checked and labelled in line with work order 4.2. Components are removed from jigs and safely stacked in a designated location in line with work order 4.3. Finished beams are strapped, packed and labelled ready for transportation 4.4.
