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, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Hand tools and formers include one (1) or more of the following:

flatters

set hammers

hot/cold sets

ball peen hammer

swages

Hand forging techniques include one (1) or more of the following:

drawing

swaging

bending

upsetting

spreading

punching

drifting

Materials include one (1) or more of the following:

low to medium carbon steels

low to medium alloy steels

Heating equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

diesel

electric and gas furnaces

coke fires

gaseous oxygen/fuel equipment

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.
