Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency supports the achievement of skills using colour principles in a range of signage applications, and includes working with others and as a member of a team. It supports the needs of entrants to the signage industry.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use colour for signage in a range of sign manufacture and installation activities.

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

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 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:

understanding and applying:

principles of colour

colour theory

colour matching

signage for visual impact

applying appropriate software in order to design and apply the principles of colour to signage.

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:

an induction procedure and requirement

realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

relevant specifications and work instructions

tools and equipment appropriate to using colour for signage

support materials appropriate to activity

workplace instructions relating to using colour for signage

material safety data sheets

research resources, including industry-related systems information.

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.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Required skills for this unit are:

ability to apply design concepts and principles of colour

communication skills to:

determine requirements

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, share information, listen and understand

follow instructions

read and interpret:

charts and hand drawings

design principles

job drawings

manufacturer specifications and instructions

organisational work specifications

requirements and instructions issued by authorised organisational or external personnel

report faults

use and interpret non-verbal communication

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

problem solving skills to recognise, and take action to rectify, minor faults and problems.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

job safety analysis (JSA) and safe work method statements

material safety data sheets (MSDS)

quality assurance requirements, including:

Australian and international standards relevant to the sign industry

internal company quality assurance policy and risk management strategies

workplace operations and procedures

relevant Australian and New Zealand standards and:

manufacturer specifications

other applicable codes or standard operating procedures relevant to the sector

terminology and definitions used in signage design.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

1.1. Colour matching systems include:

black and white

cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK)

grey scale

pantone matching system (PMS)

red, green and blue (RGB).

1.2. Colour harmony includes:

analogous

complementary

monochromatic

sp lit complementary.

1.3. Colour schemes include:

analogous

complementary

monochromatic

split complementary.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
