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.

Material includes one (1) or more of the following

ferrous

non-ferrous

Cutting medium includes one (1) or more of the following:

fuel gases

oxy acetylene

plasma arc

laser

Machine includes one (1) or more of the following:

single head machines

multi-headed machines

numerically controlled (NC) driven equipment

Where NC machines are used, set up machine to specifications includes one (1) or more of the following:

selecting programs according to predetermined instructions

loading programs according to predetermined instructions

Tracing devices include one (1) or more of the following:

powder marking and magnetic

photoelectric tracing devices

Gas handling equipment includes the following:

gas cylinders

hoses

blowpipes

tips and nozzles

regulators

flashback arrestors

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.
