Develop a decoration proposal for a complex site

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required to specify the furniture, fixtures, fittings and artworks for a complex site which may include a high end residential or commercial site with multiple themes and usage areas.

This unit covers employability skills in teamwork and communication in order to work with others in the decoration process. Planning and organising and problem solving skills are required to apply decoration processes and initiative and enterprise are required to develop decoration ideas. Self management and learning skills are applied to assess and reflect on own skills and identify areas for improvement.

This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to develop a complete proposal for a complex site that satisfies the requirements of a client brief.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



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

Effectively interior design for at least two complex sites to provide the client with creative solutions that satisfy the design brief

Effectively apply design elements and principles in designing for complex sites

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for designing for complex sites

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to developing a decoration proposal for a complex site

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

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

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.
