IntroductionIn preparation for your assessment, the trainer/assessor will advise you of the best approach in readiness for your assessment.

RIISAM205D - Cut, weld and bend materialsYou are now required to show your Assessor that you are competent in the tasks that you have learned. This guide will give you all the information that you will require in order to successfully complete your assessments.

The following pages must be completed, signed and returned to the trainer/assessor.

If you have any queries regarding your assessment, you should contact the trainer/assessor for guidance.

Completing the assessment All sections of the assessment must be completed with an ink pen. Pre–assessment: Make sure you understand the assessment and any appeal processes. Ask the

assessor to explain or clarify any information you do not understand. Both you and the assessor must sign the Pre-assessment form prior to commencing the assessment.

Performance will often need to be demonstrated over a period of time and/or in different locations. More than one assessment of a block of tasks may be necessary. Your assessor may copy any relevant part of a blank assessment tool for re-use, then date it and attach it to the original once completed.

Where appropriate, the assessor may assess your performance across different conditions e.g. wet and dry weather; day and night; different equipment attachments; different materials, etc.

Your assessor may provide suitable breaks if needed in the assessment activity between blocks of tasks.

Outcomes from your theory and other supporting evidence assessments will be reflected in the final assessment summary.

On completing the overall assessment the “Assessment Summary” sheet must be completed by both the candidate and the assessor.

The assessor will communicate any feedback comments to you if required. If the Not Satisfactory box is ticked, the assessor will inform you and possibly your supervisor to

discuss further training needs to be given, to bring you up to a satisfactory level. Prior to commencement, you have the right to appeal under your organisation’s Fair Treatment

policy (or equivalent).

Marking Guide – Cut, weld and bend materialsThe following information outlines the assessment items Candidates will be required to complete for this unit. For each separate assessment method there are acceptable responses recorded and parameters are set in which the assessment context is defined.

Note that some methods require collection of a number of pieces of ‘evidence’ over a period of time. Other methods, such as the theory assessment, will take a limited number of time.

Assessment Method 1Nature of task: Direct Observation and Competency Conversation

Location for assessment: Candidate Workplace

Supervision: Trainer/ Assessor

Commence Date: Complete Date:

Information:1. Skills need to be applied in the workplace in a variety of circumstances. As such, assessors must

ensure that the Candidate can competently and safely undertake the task/s being assessed in different situations and conditions, to industry standards. Sound assessment practice involves the assessor determining that Candidates/employees are able to demonstrate the required level of performance prescribed by the unit of competency consistently, over time, and in a range of workplace conditions/settings.

2. Assessors will evaluate the skills demonstrated by Candidates as specified in the Observation Checklist, (contained in the Assessor Guide).The Assessor will also conduct a competency conversation to determine and record your competence. In other words, these questions guide conversation with you and assist in assessment. The notes taken about this conversation are important evidence for the assessment.

3. The Assessor will provide feedback to you and record results appropriately.4. You and the Assessor should ascertain appropriate times and dates with your Supervisors/ Managers

and plan for the assessment.5. The Assessor should explain the elements of the observation at the pre-assessment and outline how

you will be required to demonstrate competence at the time of the observation.

Assessment Method 4 Workplace Portfolio (Project)RIISAM205D - Cut, weld and bend materialsIn this assessment method, you are required to submit a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates that you can:

locate and obtain copies of relevant workplace and legislative documentation (Part A); carry out cutting, welding and bending processes (Part B); and complete any required housekeeping or administrative duties associated with cutting, welding or

bending tasks (Part C)

Part A: Workplace and Compliance Documentation

In this part, you are required to conduct research into the organisational, legislative and compliance documentation that applies to cutting, welding and bending activities in your company (if you are employed in a role that involves cutting, welding and bending) or in the resources and infrastructure industry generally (if you are not currently employed in a role involving cutting, welding or bending).

You should provide copies of the documents you identify in your research. If for any reason you are unable to provide a copy of a document, you must provide identifying information about the documents (e.g. the name of the document, details about what it contains, etc.) as well as where/how you can access the documents. You can do this in the space provided.

Part B: Evidence of Competent Work

In this part, you may be asked to provide evidence that shows instances where you have competed cutting, welding or bending processes. This might include work samples, photographs of completed work or video footage of you completing work activities. Your assessor will advise if you are required to do this.

[The portfolio activity continues on the following page]


of 22

Part C: Housekeeping and administration

In this part, you are required to provide work samples (or other evidence) of any administrative or housekeeping duties and tasks that you have completed before, during or after cutting, welding and bending activities. These might include any records and reports that you completed, or any other forms and paperwork that you were required to complete.

You should provide copies of the documents you have completed. If for any reason you are unable to provide a copy of a document, you must provide identifying information about the documents (e.g. the name of the document, details about what it contains, etc.) as well as where the assessor could access a copy if required. You can do this in the space provided.

Additional SectionThis section provides scope for you to add supplementary assessment items. It can be used to customise additional assessment methods and/or contextualised questions.

The Context of AssessmentThe RTO/Compliance Manager should take time to consult with the candidate’s site to determine the information that will complete the list below. Each of the assessment methods in this Guide should then be conducted using this list as a reference. This will help to ensure that the assessment process is consistent with the organisation’s/site’s work context.

Where assessment is being conducted in a simulated environment, the RTO should complete this page based on the documentation, policies, procedures and equipment that are used in the simulated environment. Further information about appropriate simulated assessment environments can be found in the SkillsDMC Companion Volume: Implementation Guide, available from www.skillsdmc.com.au.

The Assessor using this document should take time to familiarise themselves with the items in the list below. Where this is not possible, the Assessor should consider working with an Industry Subject Matter Expert from the organisation/site who is already familiar and experienced with the items listed.

Specific company policies that must be assessed against:

Specific company procedures (including work procedures) that must be assessed against:

Specific legislative/regulatory/statutory documentation that must be adhered to during the assessment:
