Evidence Required
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. | |
Critical Aspects of Evidence | Interpret work order and locate relevant information Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: prevent damage to goods, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality minimise the risk of injury to self or others Select and apply each item in the range of hardware stipulated in the Range Statement Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment |
Resource Implications | Access to plans, hand and/or power tools, equipment, hardware materials, woodworking machinery, and a work area. |
Method of Assessment | Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency. |
Context of Assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
