Prepare to undertake the heritage restoration process

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency supports the range of tradespersons across disciplines who are involved in heritage restoration. It is not the intent of this or related units to replicate the technical processes associated with the performance of the trade skills necessary to complete the work. The unit applies to the particular processes associated with the application of existing high-level trade skills in the specialist heritage restoration environment.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to undertake the preparation of the heritage restoration job by skilled and experienced tradespersons.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by carrying out all processes required to prepare for a restoration project.

This unit of competency can be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

apply conservation considerations and consultative processes to determine desired restoration application and finish

demonstrate understanding of preservation of fabric

comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations

apply organisational quality procedures and processes within the context of heritage restorations

record and identify materials used

use appropriate techniques to provide cover protection

use safe and effective procedures to handle hazardous materials

identify typical faults and problems that occur and take necessary action to rectify

interact with others to ensure safe and effective work site operations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

historic work locations appropriate to competency range and activities

materials appropriate to application activities

appropriate documentation and data related to tasks

scaffolding equipment, plant, tools and equipment relevant to activity processes.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice, with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.
