Learning resources There are sufficient learning resources, equipment and facilities to: enable students to meet the requirements for each unit of competency support the number of students undertaking the training and assessment. Yes No Assessment resources (Adjust as appropriate) Assessments will be formative and conducted so that skills, knowledge and understanding may be demonstrated in the simulated workplace environment. Assessment of knowledge and skills will be integrated with assessment of practical application. Projects/tasks and work evidence will be progressively gathered by the assessor for units of competency until sufficient valid evidence is gathered to make assessment decisions on competency. Evidence of skills and knowledge will be gathered simultaneously. Yes No Evidence-gathering conditions (Adjust as appropriate) Will be progressively gathered for groups of units simultaneously. Methods will confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace-relevant contexts, rather than a single assessment event. Will be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, training journals and reviews of work products/folios and third party reports. Will be done under the specific assessment conditions required by the units. Yes No Work placement requirements (Adjust as appropriate) Work placement or experience is a requirement. Yes No The RTO may require students to undertake work placement or work experience. When this is the case, a summary of the requirements will be recorded in Section 4 of the TAS. Students have been advised in writing or electronically. Yes No Third party arrangements (Adjust as appropriate) No services are delivered on behalf of the RTO.

Unit of competency descriptors are not appropriate. A mapping document records full details of how the assessment are mapped to the performance requirements of parts or all of the unit/s listed below. tools are used by the assessor conducting the assessment activity. Each evidence-gathering tool must have decision-making rules. Use this code when making validation selections. Coffee table — Joining solid timber. A project making a coffee table, creating specified joints and undertaking manufacturing workplace activities centred on gaining skills and knowledge in WHS and joining solid timber. Students will be assessed in an industry typical environment using tools and equipment to produce a coffee table that meets product specifications. The assessor will always provide feedback including identifying any competency gaps and how to close them. No final unit outcome results from completing this project. Evidence is recorded in the student profile as ‘satisfactory’ or ‘unsatisfactory’. When sufficient evidence has been gathered, final outcomes will be recorded in the student profile.
