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!

MEM19036A - Use specialised techniques to produce jewellery and objects

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

Prepare for applying specialised production techniques

  1. Establish work area and prepare for work
  2. Identify and implement occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental requirements for carrying out the tasks and for the work area
  3. Analyse design specifications and related information for jewellery or object and determine production requirements from documentation and discussion with appropriate persons
  4. Develop a production plan, identifying the multiple steps and operations for manufacture, required components, soldering plan, fitting of pieces, required materials, tools, equipment and processes/techniques
  5. Identify potential manufacturing difficulties for jewellery or object and develop solutions based on understanding of materials, their limitations and workability, as well as knowledge of processes and techniques
  6. Select and prepare materials and equipment required

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply a minimum of four (4) specialised techniques to produce jewellery and object designs according to specification.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

implement OHS workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures

apply a minimum of four specialised techniques to produce jewellery and object designs on more than one occasion and in different contexts. This includes:

determining manufacturing requirements

developing a production plan

using a combination of techniques, materials and processes

finishing and inspecting work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

range and uses of specialised techniques

calculations and measurements

reasons for selecting particular metals, construction methods, manufacturing and finishing techniques
