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 skills:

  • locate, interpret and apply relevant information;
  • apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment;
  • identify materials used in the work process;

  • identify, set up and operate CNC sizing equipment, including the use of safety cut-outs and guards, to produce a range of complex cutting patterns;
  • conduct operator maintenance on the machine and related equipment;
  • use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements;
  • communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures;
  • minimise wastage of resources including materials, time and money, and;
  • work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity.
