Overview of Assessment

Assessment will be in the form of observation of your ability to assess their own work, assess quality of received component parts/materials, measure parts/materials, record information on production indication and investigate causes of quality deviations. Also by questioning for underpinning knowledge.

Assessment Tasks

You will be assessed by observation as you demonstrate your ability to assess your own work, assess quality of received component parts/materials, measure parts/materials, record information on production indication and investigate causes of quality deviations (you can check the performance criteria above for more details of these skills). You will be questioned for underpinning knowledge.
