Unit of Competency MSTTF2006 - Measure and scale geometric shapes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to take accurate measurements and related information from customer information or actual objects or structures.The unit of competency applies to taking accurate measurements, scaling shapes and applying related information using manual processes. It may involve interaction with enterprise clients either individually or in collaboration with other personnel from the enterprise. Work may be conducted in operational indoor or outdoor workplacesWork may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures may require the exercise of discretion and judgement. This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 measuring and scaling geometric shapes, 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.

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units, for example MSTTF2005 Translate information into measurements or diagrams.

  • Apply work health and safety (WHS) practices during the gathering of measurements both on and off site
       
Element: Record and communicate data
  • Record and store data using established workplace format and documentation
  • Pass on data and associated information to personnel responsible for further action within the organisation
