Resource implications

Glass laminating equipment, workplace operating procedures, unprocessed materials, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant glass laminating equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements
