Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices;
identifying and interpreting job requirements from verbal or written job instructions for sheet and plate assembly;
selecting appropriate tools, components and equipment for required assembly tasks;
using appropriate handling procedures to minimise damage to components and/or assemblies;
using equipment safely to assemble and join products to job requirements using specified assembly and joining techniques;
checking assembly to ensure compliance, and;
handling and storing components, fabrications and assemblies.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE);
purpose of a sequence of operations;
application and function of assembly equipment, including jigs, fixtures and other appropriate tools;
safety precautions and operating characteristics of assembly equipment and tools;
application and limitations of different joining techniques;
surface preparation and joining techniques;
assembly tests/checks;
safe handling and storage procedures applicable to components, fabrications and/or assemblies, and;
potential damage that can occur to components, fabrications and assemblies through the use of inappropriate handling and/or unsafe storage procedures.

Required reading

The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by Victoria University and/or via the Victoria University e-learning system.
