This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to examine the methoding (gating, running and feeding of castings) for mould designs using basic metallurgical techniques and skills. This work is under the overall direction of a metallurgist.

It applies to a foundry tradesperson who has to examine the appropriateness of own or others methoding for a mould design using basic metallurgical skills and techniques supported by normal empirical trade skills.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: B

Unit Weight: 4

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Size and number of feeder heads and gating includes the following:	manual calculation and use of computer programs within defined design parameters

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
