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.
Material includes one (1) or more of the following	ferrous non-ferrous
Cutting medium includes one (1) or more of the following:	fuel gases oxy acetylene plasma arc laser
Machine includes one (1) or more of the following:	single head machines multi-headed machines numerically controlled (NC) driven equipment
Where NC machines are used, set up machine to specifications includes one (1) or more of the following:	selecting programs according to predetermined instructions loading programs according to predetermined instructions
Tracing devices include one (1) or more of the following:	powder marking and magnetic photoelectric tracing devices
Gas handling equipment includes the following:	gas cylinders hoses blowpipes tips and nozzles regulators flashback arrestors

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.
