Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to produce jewellery items using traditional techniques. It includes conducting research to assess the suitability of traditional techniques for achieving desired outcomes and identifying and addressing problems which may arise in reproduction.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify item requirements employing traditional techniques
  • 1.1 Identify and research features and applications of a given traditional jewellery or object production technique
  • 1.2 Establish requirements for applying a given technique to a specified item from source documentation and/or appropriate persons
  • 1.3 Assess the suitability of the required technique to specific jewellery or object item, identify potential problems and difficulties and consider alternatives in consultation with appropriate persons
2 Select and source materials and equipment
  • 2.1 Identify and source materials appropriate to the production of selected technique
  • 2.2 Obtain and/or produce tools and equipment appropriate to the technique
3 Apply traditional techniques to produce item
  • 3.1 Identify and implement occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental requirements for carrying out the work and for the work area
  • 3.2 Identify and plan stages, materials and tools/equipment involved in producing the technique
  • 3.3 Identify and use other information and conditions relevant to successfully applying the technique
  • 3.4 Reproduce traditional jewellery or object production technique according to industry standards and client expectations

Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to replicate traditional techniques in the production of jewellery and 3D objects.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
implement OHS workplace procedures and practices, including the use of risk control measures
identify features and applications of a given traditional technique
identify conditions for successful application of given technique
apply a given technique to selected items.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering 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 where required.
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.
