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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Identify and analyse work requirements | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements and Australian Standards relevant to the planning and costing of flooring technology work are verified and complied with |
1.2 | Details of customer requirements are obtained through discussion with customer or from information required |
1.3 | Details of the site conditions are confirmed from reports or physical inspection |
1.4 | Details of products and/or services required for the work are identified, developed and quantified |
1.5 | Delivery point and methods of transportation are determined |
1.6 | Details are recorded in accordance with enterprise practice |
2 | Develop a work plan | 2.1 | The technical and material options for completing the work are identified and considered |
2.2 | The outline work proposal is confirmed with the client and amended as necessary |
2.3 | A detailed work plan is developed and recorded |
3 | Estimate materials, time and labour | 3.1 | Types and quantities of materials required for the work plan are calculated |
3.2 | Types and duration of usage of major tools and equipment required to support the work plan are calculated |
3.3 | Labour requirements to support the preparation for and implementation of the work plan are calculated |
3.4 | Time requirements to complete the work plan are estimated |
4 | Calculate costs | 4.1 | Total materials, labour and equipment costs are calculated in accordance with enterprise procedures |
4.2 | Total job cost is calculated, including overheads and mark-up percentages |
4.3 | Final cost to customer is calculated |
5 | Document details and verify, where necessary | 5.1 | Details of job costs and charges are documented in accordance with enterprise practice |
5.2 | Calculations, costs or other details are verified in accordance with enterprise practice |
5.3 | Customer quotation is prepared |
5.4 | Details are documented for future reference in accordance with enterprise practice |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection
Document and communicate work-related information, including:
customer requirements
products
materials and labour required
costing calculations for products
materials and labour
special conditions
Use calculators, computer programs and other aids in the estimation and cost calculation processes
Estimate and cost three (3) varied jobs, including:
estimate quantities of material required
determine the types and amount of labour required to complete the work
estimate time required to complete the work
estimate overheads associated with the job
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the planning and costing of flooring technology work
Australian Standards, including AS/NZS 2455.1:2007 Textile floor coverings - Installation practice – General, and AS 1884-2012 Floor coverings - Resilient sheet and tiles - Installation practices
Preparing and presenting design information
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for preparing and presenting design information
Floor preparation methods and techniques
Floor covering, installation and finishing techniques applicable to the required streams
Types of major tools and equipment, their applications, planning and costing techniques and data
Costing techniques for labour and materials
Overhead components and costing techniques
Environmental protection requirements
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to a realistic planning and costing requirement; a customer requiring technical, planning and costing advice; and specific information covering materials, equipment, labour and overheads required for planning and costing work and their specifications.
