Assemble internal shopfitting units and prepare for transport

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to assemble internal shopfitting unit components produced by computer numerically-controlled (CNC) or static machine. It covers the final production stage for the fabrication of shopfitting units, including cabinets, benches, counters, showcases, wall units and work stations; and includes attaching fittings and preparing the shopfitting units for safe transport to the installation work site.

The unit supports shopfitters working off site as part of a team to produce a range of shopfitting units for transportation to different installation work sites.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

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