General Information
Requirements
Assessment Method
Assessors can use the criteria to determine levels of prior learning through dialog with the candidate, direct observation and any other appropriate and relevant evidence. They can score each of the criteria "L", "S", "H". An "N" indicates no evidence and this is the default setting. "L" indicates some capability but some help still required and the candidate is not secure with that particular criterion. "S" indicates secure mastery of the criterion. "H" indicates that the candidate is operating beyond the basic requirements of the criterion. If all criteria are matched with "S" or "H" the unit is passed. All criteria must be at least "S" for a pass.
The Entry 3 learner will be becoming increasingly capable of making use of skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out simple structured tasks and activities with occasional guidance and intervention. They will start to relate tasks to contexts and be aware of consequences of actions for themselves and others. While support and guidance are still needed they will demonstrate increasing capability of working self-sufficiently with simple structured tasks.
An activity will typically be 'structured' when:
* there are several steps that need to be sequential; and
* the learner has opportunities to practice the sequence or clear guidance is provided.
1.1 I can measure to the require precision
The candidate should be able to show good precision
Evidence: Relevant information in their publications and documents.
Additional information and guidance
Different jobs will require levels of precision and candidates need to show they can achieve these when required.
1.2 I can prepare work for cutting and construction
Candidates should be able to prepare what they need
Evidence: From portfolio files and assessor verification.
Additional information and guidance
Depending on the job at hand, candidates should be able to demonstrate that they can prepare the materials required to complete a job.
1.3 I can cut materials related to my work to the required tolerances
Candidates should be able to demonstrate skills
Evidence: From portfolio files.
Additional information and guidance
Candidates should be able to demonstrate their ability to do some quality control ojn their work. If a material requires tight tolerances in order to work properly, then they must be able to achieve this.
1.4 I can use the tools relevant to my work to meet needs
Candidates will be able to use the required tools
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Whatever tools are specified or required by a job, the candidate should be able to show operational competence.
1.5 I can use construction techniques relevant to the work
Candidates will be able to show their understanding of their work place
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Where they are working will determine the techniques they require, but there will be some construction standards that they need to demonstrate for base competence on the job.
The assessor should keep a record of assessment judgements made for each candidate and make notes of any significant issues for any candidate. They must be prepared to enter into dialog with their Account Manager and provide their assessment records to the Account Manager through the on-line mark book. They should be prepared to provide evidence as a basis for their judgements should it be required by the Principal Assessor or their Account Manager/external moderator. Before authorising certification, the Account Manager must be satisfied that the assessors judgements are sound.
