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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Design is replicated effectively across all product Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for machining material using Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area Identify materials used and any handling requirements for those materials Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials Interpret work order and patterns and locate and apply relevant information Select and use tools and equipment appropriate to the task follow work instructions, operating and inspection practices to: prevent damage to goods, equipment or products maintain required output and product quality work effectively with others modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment report process or material faults, damaged products or equipment
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 is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace specifications and work instructions appropriate tools, materials and equipment
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
