The following assessment methods are to be applied to collect the required assessment evidence in accordance with training package requirements.

Assessment
The candidate will be required to demonstrate their practical skills integrated with their knowledge during practical assessment activities. These activities are sourced from varying equipment inspection, pre-operational site checks, equipment donning and doffing, lock out tag out procedures, water jetting exercises and reporting findings. Trainers will regularly challenge test candidates throughout the course on varying equipment and mark their practical checklist accordingly.

All candidates are required to take part in a practical scenario to complete the course. While this is a group-based activity it allows all candidates to show competence to undertake the activity with a holistic approach understanding all the varying roles and responsibilities.

Written Theory Assessment

Qualification

This skills set has been drawn from the nationally endorsed industry training package MSM Manufacturing training package. On successfully completing the training and assessment, a Statement of Attainment for the Skill Set MSMSS00004 Operate a high-pressure water jetting system.

Delivery mode

The course will be delivered using different modes of delivery involving classroom-based instruction and practical skills development sessions. Training will be coordinated from MIWT head office and delivered in your industry simulated work environment.

Candidates will participate in facilitated learning sessions using PowerPoint presentations, handouts and discussion. During practical skills development sessions, candidates will be asked to work in pairs and facilitated through a range of practical skills in water jetting. Candidates will learn skills through practical instruction using demonstrated performance methods such as: Demonstration, explanation.
