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.

Information resources include one (1) or more of the following:

documented management system (manufacturing, quality, environmental and WHS)

manufacturers' manuals

specifications

Australian Standards

international standards

customer requirements

industry manuals

codes of practice

legislation

quality documentation

equipment manufacturer specifications

engineering data sheets

Locationincludes one (1) or more of the following:

reference libraries

workplace storage areas

internet

site

Information system includes one (1) or more of the following:

internal

external

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

computer database

internet search

standard techniques to identify relevant information:

skimming and scanning

identifying key words/ideas

using index

table of contents

numbering

classification systems

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.
