Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCMKH402A - Design and fabricate milking equipment installations

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare design and installation estimates

  1. Shed design and installation estimates to suit the application are determined and meet current industry guidelines.
  2. Financial and physical resources that impact on the proposed works are identified and documented.
  3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) issues affecting the design and construction of the shed and equipment are identified and addressed in design and construction planning.
  4. Labour and other inputs are calculated and the tender submitted.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

assess the need for livestock throughput and milk handling facilities

determine the site and design the installation for the site

incorporate animal welfare requirements and movement principles into design

incorporate appropriate safe workplace procedures for personnel into design

estimate cost of the proposed installations

project manage the fabrication and assembly of the milking equipment installation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

blend design standards and requirements with practical application and customer needs

understand construction plans and specifications on machinery and equipment components of dairy installations

safely utilise hand and power tools in a workshop and field situation

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

applicable building regulations and codes of practice

OHS acts in the relevant state, and specifically regulations relating to plant and machinery and noise

relevant industry minimum standards for the design and installation of milking equipment

original equipment manufacturers requirements for milking equipment installation

the working requirements of milking sheds including the siting of components to ensure efficient shed operation.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Shed configurations may include:

conventional walk through

herringbone

rotary.
