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 | Select and adapt the design | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to timber flooring design are verified and complied with |
1.2 | Client design concept is matched with available custom designs and the preferred design selected |
1.3 | Design concept is adapted to suit the dimensions of the floor area |
1.4 | Scale representations of the design application are prepared |
2 | Select the timber | 2.1 | Budget and availability constraints are used to identify realistic timber options |
2.2 | Timber options are analysed on the basis of durability, longevity, aesthetics, manufacturer recommendations and client expectations |
2.3 | Most appropriate timber options are selected and incorporated into the job specification |
3 | Select the finishing technique and materials | 3.1 | Effects of finishing materials on the final appearance of the design are identified and analysed |
3.2 | Effects of the finishing technique on the final appearance of the design are identified |
3.3 | Finishing techniques and materials which best complement the design aesthetics are selected and incorporated into the job specification |
4 | Finalise the job specification | 4.1 | Job specifications covering working drawings, material specifications and costs are finalised |
4.2 | Client approval for the job specification is obtained |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Adapt a minimum of two (2) custom designs for timber flooring, including the preparation of detailed job specifications with:
one (1) for a strip floor
one (1) for a parquetry floor
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 adapting and applying custom designs to timber flooring
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for adapting and applying custom designs to timber flooring
Types, characteristics, uses and limitations of commonly used flooring timbers
Types, characteristics, uses, limitations and effects on timber of finishing materials
Availability and costs of flooring timbers
Manual and CAD techniques
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
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 realistic tasks covering a strip floor and parquetry floor, a range of custom designs, information and equipment relevant to adapting and presenting design information, and a real/simulated client.
