This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson – Casting and Moulding apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in the production of moulds and cores using advanced manual (jobbing) methods. It defines the skills and knowledge required to use advanced manual (jobbing) methods to produce moulds and cores for the production of metal castings and includes the ability to match patterns, moulds and cores to meet requirements.

Where the selection and use of welding skills is required unit MEM05012 Perform routine manual metal arc welding and unit MEM05050 Perform routine gas metal arc welding, should also be selected as appropriate.

Where lifting and moving moulds and cores requires the use of mobile load shifting equipment or overhead cranes, appropriate manual handling units should also be selected.

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

Band: A

Unit Weight: 12

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

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(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.
Materials include one (1) or more of the following:	binders hardeners sand additives mould coatings
Patterns include one (1) or more of the following:	irregular/uneven patterns with undercuts multi-joint consumable loose piece patterns patterns requiring odd sides core assembly patterns
Moulds include one (1) or more of the following:	undercut/drawback irregular/uneven jointed multi-part moulds
Cores include one (1) or more of the following:	full half segment
Mould securing methods include one (1) or more of the following:	weights clamps bolting
Moulding media includes one (1) or more of the following:	green sand shell sand chemically bonded media
Pouring basins include one (1) or more of the following:	hand pattern formed
Parting and stripping systems include one (1) or more of the following:	dry wet

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.
