Prepare and produce specialised coatings
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to specialised production of industrial films on a variety of work pieces, often on a one-off basis. Typical of the coatings are heavy (hard) chromium or nickel, heavy electroless nickel, 'hard' anodising and selective (brush) plating. Also included is the electrodeposition of 'difficult' metals such as iron and certain alloys.
Band: A
Unit Weight: 4
This unit covers undertaking masking and jig work, determining operational parameters, and pre-treating and treating work.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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 prepare and produce specialised industrial films on a variety of work pieces, often on a one-off basis. 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 preparing and producing specialised industrial films on a variety of work pieces, often on a one-off basis 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 techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. 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: securing the electroplating jigs correctly masking setting up auxiliary electrodes and shields manufacturing jigs and shields in accordance with specifications correctly calculating the operating parameters treating the work reading and interpreting routine information on written job instructions, specifications and standard operating procedures. May include drawings following oral instructions performing calculations using formulae |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: the reasons for masking work being electroplated the range of materials that are used for masking purposes the procedures for securing the masking the reasons for using auxiliary electrodes and shields the procedures for mounting/setting up auxiliary electrodes and shields the specifications of the jigs and shields to be manufactured the procedures for manufacturing jigs and shields the procedures and formulae for calculating operating times, currents and voltages the specifications of the surface finish to be achieved the procedures for pre-treating the work the procedure for treating the work after electroplating the pre-electroplating and post electroplating treatment specifications the reasons for pre-electroplating and post electroplating treatment of surfaces hazards and control measures associated with preparing and producing specialised coatings electrolytically safe workplace 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. | |
Auxiliary electrodes and shields | Soluble auxiliary anodes Insoluble auxiliary anodes Bi polar electrodes Shields Robbers |
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
