Qualified workplace assessor
Workplace or simulated workplace
Context:
Competency must be assessed in a safe working environment and in accordance with endorsed industry assessment guidelines.
The underpinning knowledge and skills may be assessed on or off-the-job.
The assessment of practical skills must take place only after a period of supervised practice and repetitive experience. If workplace conditions are not available, assessment in simulated workplace conditions is acceptable.
The prescribed outcome must be able to be achieved without direct supervision.
Concurrent assessment and pre-requisite relationship:
This unit may be assessed in conjunction with other units that form part of the function or for a particular job role for a company.
Consistency of performance:
Competency is best assessed through observation over a period of time and in a variety of situations. Supplementary evidence of underpinning knowledge and the capability to manage tasks and operational and workplace contingencies should be gained through questioning and the use of work based examples.
Questioning should be undertaken in such a manner as is appropriate to the language and literacy levels of the operator and to the requirements of the unit of competency.
Language, literacy and numeracy skills:
Speaking and listening skills may include:
Listening to and following verbal instructions
Discussing design requirements with professional staff

Reading and interpreting company forms and technical information eg job specifications, company standards documentation, ADRs
Writing design brief and documentation - paper based / electronic
Completing company forms (written / electronic) eg job sheets
Numeracy skills may include:
Measuring / calculating dimensions of design item
Calculating stress analysis
Critical aspects of evidence:
Evidence of achievement is required in all of the following:
Establish and quantify design requirements
Determine suitable production methods, materials and processes
Identify design constraints
Produce concept sketches and evaluate feasibility
Modify and document designs - paper based / electronic
Underpinning knowledge:
Planning the processes for development of new products/sub-assemblies
Read and interpret drawing symbols
Design principles, processes and constraints
Product evaluation procedures
Design documentation requirements - paper based /, electronic
Interpretation and application of ADRs, State legislation, ASA and other codes
