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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to select raw materials | 2.1 | Confirm requirements for the selection of raw materials and clarify, if necessary |
| 2.2 | Select raw materials appropriate for the designated use |
|
3 | Check raw materials | 3.1 | Verify specification of raw materials |
| 3.2 | Check selected raw materials are suitable and satisfy quality standards and workplace procedures |
| 3.3 | Compare data with standards or other reference materials and record results |
|
4 | Report on raw materials | 4.1 | Document and record raw materials using appropriate worksheets and information systems |
| 4.2 | Collate and analyse documentation against specifications |
| 4.3 | Interpret documentation and report outcomes |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
applying relevant standards
selecting at least two (2) appropriate raw materials for designated use/s
checking selected raw materials are suitable for specified process and quality standards on at least two (2) occasions
analysing data against specifications
communicating effectively with design team, customers
documenting and recording raw materials using appropriate worksheets and information systems
collating and analysing documentation against specifications
interpreting documentation and reporting outcomes.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
selection and checking requirements of raw materials
product and process specifications
raw materials and their properties
quality standards and practices
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in selecting raw materials, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
