This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply, form and integrate fibre-reinforced components using manual and mechanical methods in marine vessel and aircraft construction applications.

It applies to component construction carried out for mould installation, and application and forming operations conducted within a mould or over a former assembly using a variety of glass reinforcements and other fibres.

Where mark off/out skills is required unit MEM12007 Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes should also be selected.

Where straightforward application of fibre-reinforced materials and no forming or integrating is required unit MEM25001 Apply fibre-reinforced materials should be selected.

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

Band: A

Unit Weight: 4

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.
Application and forming operations include one (1) or more of the following:	lay-up practices post-curing practices core materials for stiffening application sheathing applications using resins, adhesives, sealants and fillers vacuum bagging techniques, where applicable
Products/components constructed include one (1) or more of the following:	hull deck superstructures bulkhead and partitions transverse and longitudinal framing engine beds tanks
Materials include one (1) or more of the following:	types of laminating resins hardeners releasing agents pigments fillers variety of glass reinforcements and other fibres stiffening materials, including: foams core mat
Tools and equipment include one (1) or more of the following:	brushes and rollers metal rollers gel coat resin depositors vacuum bagging equipment hand and power tools workshop machinery

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.
