Evidence Guide

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.
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered	Read and interpret a work/job specification Effectively conduct operator maintenance on tools and equipment Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: safely perform repair functions plan the repair of a woodwind instrument prepare for the repair of a woodwind instrument repair a woodwind instrument apply the quality and professional standards required when repairing a woodwind instrument electroplate, paint and solder repaired components of a woodwind instrument finalise the repair process
Context of, and specific resources for assessment	The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to the repair of woodwind instruments specifications and work instructions
Method of assessment	Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry 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
