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!

MEM18014 - Manufacture press tools and gauges

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

Manufacture tooling

  1. Select and obtain appropriate materials to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment qualities, where necessary, and account for materials availability
  2. Test selected material for hardness, as appropriate to aid selection of machine tools, hand tools and hand held power tools to be used to fashion or shape tooling components
  3. Develop a plan to sequence and stage manufacturing process, including establishing datum, mark out, rough out (machine or fashion), stress relieve/heat treat, finish size, fashion and fit, and assemble componentry
