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 | This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to: comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations apply organisational management policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements where applicable assess, identify and report on findings for the design, positioning and sizing of structural members of at least one domestic scale building project or equivalent provide reports to appropriate body/individual as determined by the project brief. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. Resource implications for assessment include: an induction procedure and requirement realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements relevant specifications and work instructions tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices support materials appropriate to activity workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies material safety data sheets research resources, including industry related systems information. Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. |
Method of assessment | Assessment methods must: satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments. Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that: competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice, with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence. Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed. Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff. |

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 |
Required skills for this unit are: ability to respond to change and contribute to workplace responsibilities, such as current work site environmental and sustainability frameworks or management systems communication skills to: enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, share information, listen and understand read and interpret: BCA relevant Australian standards other relevant documentation use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences use and interpret non-verbal communication written skills to report findings and provide reports numeracy skills to analyse and apply complex mathematical information planning and organisational skills to collect, organise and analyse information technological skills to: complete documentation and calculations enable information gathering and analysis. |
Required knowledge |
Required knowledge for this unit is: behaviour of structural members undergoing stress, strain, compression, bending or combined actions nature of materials and effect on performance processes for the interpretation of working drawings and specifications processes for the preparation of documentation relevant federal, state or territory legislation and local government policy and procedures research methods structural and design principles for buildings. |
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. | |
Assessment of structural requirements: | includes: analysis of engineering drawings evaluation of site physicality identification of safe structural practices may require actual site visits. |
Adherence to legislative requirements is limited to: | domestic scale buildings (similar in characteristics to those of residential dwellings in terms of loading, construction and size and may include small industrial, commercial and public buildings). |
Analysis includes: | 'I' (moment of inertia) values base unit mass, density, velocity, acceleration, force and stress column changes in length, cross-sectional, restraints, material and eccentricity cross-sectional geometry and common structural shapes deflections for symmetrically loaded, simply supported timber beams of various shapes, spans and loads directions of wind pressure loads force on materials in tension, compression, stress, strain and elasticity forces associated with levers identified by direction and value forces for co-planar non-current force systems load differences, including: dead load live load wind load earthquake load minimum bracing requirements removal of trusses restraints for use with beams second area moments and deflection of beams simple roof truss transmission force structural properties differentiated for common materials symmetrically loaded simply supported situations for: bending moments deflection shear forces torsion tension and compression stresses of roof members wind forces and wind velocity for bracing. |
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.
