Develop vision system installation plans

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Senior technicians or technical directors apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. In this role they are responsible for developing vision system plans which requires considerable knowledge of the operational aspects of all types of vision systems.

This unit also has strong linkages to the following units, and combined training and/or assessment is strongly recommended:

CUVCRS03A Produce computer-aided designs (CADD).

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret a brief for the vision system requirements of a production or event and to design a plan for the installation of vision systems.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit 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)

Co-Requisites

It is strongly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units:

CUEAUD02C

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

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

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

technical knowledge of the performance capacity of range of vision systems

effective interpretation of the brief and development of workable plans to meet the brief

effective communication with clients and other technical personnel.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

development of installation plans for more than one event or production

involvement of and interaction with others (client, production team) to reflect the collaborative nature of the planning process.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

project or work activities to develop an installation plan for a particular production/event

project or role play activities which allow the candidate to demonstrate skills in interpreting briefs and presenting plans

written or oral questioning to test technical knowledge of typical vision systems

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

a brief and budget for vision system requirements

manual or computerised drawing materials

access to a venue or venue plans in order to develop a tailored installation plan.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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

literacy skills sufficient to develop plans and communicate vision system design

Required knowledge

the capacities and limitations of different types of vision systems and elements used in vision systems

technical requirements and constraints of installing all types of vision systems

rigging requirements for vision systems

typical processes and procedures for the development of vision system plans

costing and budget issues associated with the design of vision system installation planning, including equipment and technician costs, ways to reduce costs, ways of presenting costs

processes and procedures typically used to ensure version control for draft and final plans

occupational health and safety issues to be considered for vision system installation

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.

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.
