Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform precision shaping/planing/slotting operations. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with performing precision shaping/planing/slotting operations or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

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.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: preparing an operational work plan performing precision shaping operations: flat surfaces shoulders slots keyways angles dovetails performing precision planing operations on: horizontal and vertical surfaces performing precision slotting operations: feathered keyways tapered keyways slotting internal cavities dovetails slotting circular surfaces slotting internal splines checking for conformance to specifications using precision measurement equipment planning and sequencing operations reading and interpreting information on written job instructions, specifications, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents checking and clarifying task related information measuring components to specified tolerances performing calculations for determining cutting parameters and checking tolerances undertaking numerical operations within the scope of this unit |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: reasons for selecting the chosen sequence of operations procedures for setting up the work piece tool type and geometry to achieve the required specifications on different materials techniques and procedures for machining the following: flat surfaces shoulders slots keyways angles dovetails planing techniques and procedures for machining: horizontal and vertical surfaces slotting techniques and procedures for machining: feathered keyways tapered keyways slotting internal cavities dovetails slotting circular surfaces slotting internal splines appropriate techniques, tools and equipment to measure machined components hazards, control measures and housekeeping associated with precision shaping/planing/slotting operations use and application of personal protective equipment safe work practices and procedures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Tools | Cutting tools, tool holders |
Cutting parameters | Feeds, speeds, depth of cut, length of cut etc. |
Precision operations | The use of dedicated precision measuring instruments |
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.
Observation Checklist
