Perform carpet repair and reinstallation

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency supports employees without managerial or supervisory responsibilities. The work may be performed individually or in teams and will require basic carpet-laying installation tools. Performance would usually be carried out under routine supervision and within company guidelines.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required for basic restretching of carpets, seam repairs, patch work and basic carpet installation repairs. Maintenance and restoration cleaning methods are dependent on good carpet installation and continuing face yarn tension for effective cleans. Delamination and other more complicated repairs should be assigned to a qualified carpet layer.

The unit requires the ability to assess the extent of the installation repair task through understanding client requirements and characteristics of the carpeted floor, and to apply company policies and procedures in order to perform the task. The selection of appropriate equipment and methods is essential for performing the task safely and efficiently.

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 observing practical demonstration of carpet repairing and reinstallation of at least two different types of carpet.

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 required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to:

identify type and characteristics of carpet

identify type and characteristics of carpet installation and sub-flooring

comply with company and legislative requirements

achieve outcomes in relation to customer work order and company requirements

apply safe and efficient repair and reinstallation methods

select equipment and materials.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context and must comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include access to:

suitable work site or venue with carpets

equipment operating manuals and MSDS

PPE

suitable equipment and chemicals

assessment instruments, including personal planner and assessment record book

work order instructions, work plans, schedules and policy documents.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property 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.

Guidance information for assessment

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.

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.

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.
