PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
The skills, values and knowledge reflected in this unit standard are required by people in the field of engineering machining.
The learning outcomes in this unit standard also contribute to the exit level outcomes required for the National Certificate in Engineering Machining (NQF level 3) and related qualifications. Qualifying learners can carry out engineering turning operations with a range of accessories and tools. The results are checked with precision measuring instruments. |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
This unit standard has been designed as part of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards for turning in the engineering machining skills area.
The credits allocated to this unit standard assume that a learner has already learned to: |
UNIT STANDARD RANGE |

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS |
My assessment will be governed by the policies and guidelines of the MERSETA Education and Training Quality Assuror who has jurisdiction over this field of learning. My assessor will (at the very least) be accredited and have a technical qualification in this learning area.
I can be assessed in the language of my choice although if I have to report incidents or conditions to someone else, I will be assessed on my ability to report in the language commonly used in my working environment. I will be assessed in the workplace but I can submit documents, projects, test results and assignments that were not produced in the workplace. I can be assessed against this unit standard to obtain credits or as part of an integrated assessment for a qualification. |
