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 work requirements | 1.1 | Work instructions are obtained and followed |
| | 1.2 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements for application of patterns and designs to glass surfaces, including personal protective equipment, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.3 | Tools and equipment suitable to the work method are assembled and the process for applying patterns and designs to glass surfaces identified |
2 | Prepare for work | 2.1 | Work sequence is planned 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 | Pattern or design template, if required, is produced from plan or design or drafted from existing design or pattern |
| | 2.4 | Procedures are identified for checking the quality of materials and items produced and quality requirements for each stage of the application process |
3 | Apply pattern or design to glass surface | 3.1 | Pattern or design template is applied or glass surface is masked, as necessary, with appropriate materials |
| | 3.2 | Pattern or design is applied to glass surface in accordance with workplace procedures or industry practice |
| | 3.3 | Problems occurring during operation are identified and reported to appropriate personnel in accordance with workplace procedures, and any authorised changes in working procedures followed |
4 | Complete work | 4.1 | Product is inspected for quality of work and repaired or discarded, as required, in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 4.2 | Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 4.3 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |
| | 4.4 | Tools and equipment are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures |
| | 4.5 | Workplace documentation is completed, as required |
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
Draw and cut freehand designs
Set up, process, upload, cut and apply designs from computerised software programs
Complete a minimum of two from the following methods of applying patterns and designs to glass:
Stage sandblasting on glass
Stage screen printing on glass
Stage digital printing on glass
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
Qualities and characteristics of glass and materials, including hazards and handling requirements
Procedures, techniques and means of applying patterns and designs to glass surfaces
Workplace safety system requirements related to the application of patterns and designs to glass surfaces
Work flow requirements in relation to other stages of the work process
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 template materials/patterns, masking materials, application equipment, workplace operating procedures, unprocessed glass, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.
