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!

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 prepare welding materials and equipment and weld metal materials.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can:

work safely

prepare materials

set welding equipment according to given instructions

use electric welding machines to weld metal pieces together

read and interpret routine information on written job instructions

use measuring equipment as required

clean and store equipment as instructed.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit must be assessed in a learning institution.

Assessment must cover the successful use of one or more electric welding machines.

The skills covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone under direct supervision.

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit may be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, hand tools, machine operation, recording and reporting associated with using electric welding machines.

Method of assessment

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

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

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

Assessment should be in conjunction with assessment of the project unit and other units integrated into the project.

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 skills

Required skills include:

preparing materials

setting welding equipment according to given instructions

using electric welding machines to weld metal pieces together

reading and interpreting routine information on written job instructions

using measuring skills as required

applying safe working and welding practices

using and applying personal protective equipment

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

safe machine operation procedures

material and equipment preparation requirements

basic marking out techniques

use and care of measuring tools

behaviour of metals under heat

welding processes and properties

post-welding treatments

safe working and welding practices

use and application of personal protective equipment

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.

Weld requirements

Weld requirements may be identified from, but are not limited to:

drawings

sketches

job instructions

schematics

diagrams

technical manuals

Type of welding

Welding involves the use of electric welding machines and may include any or all of the following welding processes:

manual metal arc welding

gas metal arc welding

tungsten metal arc welding
