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!

MEM18058C - Modify electronic equipment

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

Modify equipment

  1. Modification requirements are determined and understood by reference to circuit diagrams, schematics, equipment manuals and /or consultation with technical authority where appropriate.
  2. Equipment is isolated to standard operational procedures.
  3. Equipment is removed from system, if required, using correct and appropriate techniques and equipment.
  4. Modification is carried out to equipment/sub-assembly/component in accordance with specifications or application requirements using correct and appropriate techniques and equipment.
  5. Sub-assembly is refitted to equipment, if required, using correct and appropriate techniques and equipment.
Modification requirements are determined and understood by reference to circuit diagrams, schematics, equipment manuals and /or consultation with technical authority where appropriate.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to modify electronic equipment. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with modifying electronic equipment, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

obtaining relevant circuit diagrams, schematics, manuals

isolating, tagging and verifying isolated equipment

removing and refitting sub-assembly/equipment from the system

carrying out modifications to specification

amending circuit diagrams, schematics, equipment manuals, specifications affected by the modifications

recommissioning electronic equipment

testing, checking modified electronic equipment to ensure conformance to specifications

entering routine and familiar information onto proforma and standard workplace forms

locating, reading and interpreting information on written job instructions, specifications, drawings, charts, lists and other reference documentation

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

system concept including software/hardware systems, feasibility analysis and circuit analysis

diagnostic skills and implications relative to the modification

modification requirements

sources of technical advice

procedures for isolating and removing equipment from the system

specifications applicable to the modification

permits/approvals required

tools and equipment necessary to carry out the modification

specialised fitting requirements

the electronic equipment specifications

procedures and test equipment application

procedures for recommissioning electronic equipment

operational specification of the equipment/system

safe work practices and procedures

relevant hazards and control measures related to the competency

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Modifications

Minor adjustments and alterations requirement to experimental and development modifications of a complex nature and can include replacement and /or alterations of system equipment, sub-assemblies, PCBs and components on analog and digital electronic systems

Test equipment

Continuity testers, ammeters, voltmeters, cathode ray oscilloscopes, frequency counters, signal generators, digital probes etc.
