Oversee jewellery or object design production

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to designers who are responsible for producing jewellery and object designs. This unit covers the management of the production process and the implementation of a prototype. It includes working with other specialists and industry suppliers to ensure that design specifications and intent are achieved in the final product. Production may be of one-off or mass produced items and be manufactured in-house or using external resources.

This unit requires extensive skills and knowledge in jewellery and object design, materials and construction techniques. High level judgement is required in planning and selecting appropriate processes or procedures.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to manage the production of jewellery or objects to ensure they comply with design specifications and quality standards.

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.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to oversee the production of a range of jewellery or objects to design specifications and according to production criteria.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

select and plan processes for production from designs

ensure production meets efficiency and quality standards

check compliance with specifications

communicate effectively with team members

solve production problems

monitor production progress and changes

monitor application of OHS practices in production operations

maintain accurate records.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
