| 1.2 | Project brief is reviewed and clarified with supervisor to identify decoration requirements |
| | 1.3 | Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness |
| | 1.4 | Communication requirements for decoration project are identified |
2 | Plan the space decoration | 2.1 | Space dimensions and locations of features are measured and recorded |
| | 2.2 | Sketches and drawings are prepared to illustrate the space |
| | 2.3 | Plan layout is prepared |
| | 2.4 | Theme is selected and alternative options provided |
| | 2.5 | Colours are selected and confirmed |
| | 2.6 | Supplies necessary to complete the project are selected |
| | 2.7 | Materials and processes are selected |
| | 2.8 | Furnishings and other accessories are selected and placement coordinated |
| | 2.9 | Costing and timeline estimates are compiled and developed into a full project proposal |
| | 2.10 | Decoration proposal is considered for its environmental qualities |
3 | Present decoration proposal | 3.1 | Colour board presentation is made |
| 3.2 | Drawings are completed to show layout of decorative components |
| | 3.3 | Presentation of the design and decoration plan is made |
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
Plan the decoration of a simple space in the designated timeframe effectively applying design elements and principles
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate decoration 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
Elements and principles of design
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
Environmental protection requirements
Relevant interior decoration problem identification and resolution techniques
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 computers, computer software, design software, CAD software, colour boards, storyboards, swatches, Pantone Matching System (PMS), journals (directions magazines), artistic equipment, and products and model making equipment.
