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 document type and purpose | 1.1 | Key information is identified, such as title, version, scale, legend and keys |
| | 1.2 | Any relevant explanatory or additional information needed to interpret the document is located and evaluated |
| | 1.3 | Clarification is sought to confirm the intention of information where necessary |
2 | Read and interpret the document | 2.1 | Information, such as symbols, abbreviations, acronyms and technical terms, are identified and interpreted |
| | 2.2 | Document information is compared to component or supplier advice for use of the materials and, where relevant, Australian Standards |
| | 2.3 | Design and style features shown in drawings are identified by industry recognised terms |
3 | Plan own work sequence | 3.1 | Work sequence, required tools and equipment, and tasks to be performed are identified from the documents |
| | 3.2 | Work sequence is planned, identifying stages where checks against specifications must be made |
| | 3.3 | Specifications noted in the work plan are checked for accuracy against the drawings and specifications, and any errors are rectified |
4 | Maintain document files | 4.1 | Plans and documents are handled carefully and maintained intact |
| | 4.2 | Any explanatory documentation, additional information and/or modification information is kept with the work plan and original documentation according to workplace procedures |
| | 4.3 | All documentation is replaced in workplace filing or storage system for retrieval by others, as required |
Collect, organise and understand information related to the range of work documents relevant to the sector
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications
Plan and organise activities to minimise wastage of resources, including materials, time and money
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise information management
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly interpret the content of work documents
Identify alternative methods of accessing and sources of work information, including using workplace technology related to work documentation, its access and storage
Recognise and explain the meanings of symbols, technical terms and conventions of specifications and plans
Check accuracy of copied specifications
Maintain condition of documentation
Locate, read and interpret a minimum of ten (10) selected/specified work documents which must include:
Australian Standards relevant to the sector
manufacturer technical instructions and specifications
real or simulated local work documents, including:
work plans
material safety data sheets (MSDS)
relevant building codes
job procedures
safe work instructions or equivalent
Different types of work documents used in the furnishing industry and their function
Conventions and symbols of plans, drawings and specifications
Workplace procedures for maintenance of documentation
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 range of drawings, standards, plans, specifications and cutting lists relevant to the work, safety procedures, regulations, quality standards, enterprise procedures, and all necessary facilities and associated equipment.
