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 | Plan for work | 1.1 | Work requirements in the form of type of insect or security screen to be fabricated and installed are determined from work instructions, including the identification of its pattern or plan |
| | 1.2 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements for fabrication and installation of insect or security screens, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.3 | The suitable process for fabricating and installing insect or security screens is identified |
| | 1.4 | Quantities of materials required are calculated from plans and/or work instructions and/or by measuring the screen opening in accordance with Australian Standards and industry practice |
| | 1.5 | Cutting lists are prepared from plans, work instructions or measurements of opening to suit the type of screen to be installed |
| | 1.6 | Fittings, fixings and joining devices or materials are selected in accordance with specifications or type of materials to be joined or fixed |
| | 1.7 | Tools and equipment appropriate to the work method are identified and assembled for use |
2 | Prepare for work | 2.1 | Work sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job and workplace procedures |
| | 2.2 | Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition |
| | 2.3 | Components of the insect or security screen are checked against specifications or job order for size, quantity, finish and profile |
3 | Fabricate and install insect or security screen | 3.1 | Materials are measured and marked to cutting list requirements and most economical use of materials |
| | 3.2 | Materials are cut and stamped to cutting list requirements in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice |
| | 3.3 | Components of insect or security screen are assembled in accordance with recognised industry standards |
| | 3.4 | Fittings are installed to screen in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice |
| | 3.5 | Insect or security screen is installed in opening in accordance with recognised industry standards |
4 | Complete work | 4.1 | Installed insect or security screen is inspected for quality of work and repaired, re-fabricated or reinstalled, as required, in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 4.2 | Material which can be reused is collected and stored |
| | 4.3 | Waste and scrap materials are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 4.4 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |
| | 4.5 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and removed and stored appropriately |
| | 4.6 | Workplace documentation is completed in accordance with workplace requirements |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Relevant Australian Standards
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 aluminium or other framing material, aluminium or other sheeting, fittings, fixing and fasteners, workplace operating procedures, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.
