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 | Assess colour requirements for the project | 1.1 | Project brief is reviewed and clarified with client to identify colour requirements |
| 1.2 | Parameters for the colour application are assessed and confirmed |
| | 1.3 | Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness |
| | 1.4 | Communication with others is established and maintained |
| | 1.5 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to researching, analysing and applying colours are verified and complied with |
2 | Research colour schemes for interior decoration | 2.1 | Colour psychology is researched and analysed in accordance with the needs of the project |
| 2.2 | Impact of colours upon an interior space are researched and information compiled |
| | 2.3 | Additive and subtractive colour mixing is researched for interior decoration applications |
| | 2.4 | Cultural and historical influences on colour use are examined |
3 | Explore colour schemes | 3.1 | Colour wheels are used to mix and match alternative colour schemes in assisting with suitability of colours to a space |
| | 3.2 | Colour systems and colour combinations are explored for interior design application |
| | 3.3 | Relationship of colours juxtaposed are assessed for their suitability in the space and proportions |
| | 3.4 | Effect of light is assessed against the impact of colours being proposed for use in certain spaces |
| | 3.5 | Coordination and visual perception of colours is assessed in accordance with the project brief |
| | 3.6 | A range of colour mixing techniques are used to match samples |
| | 3.7 | Light sources are used to mix and throw coloured light onto a range of coloured surfaces to evaluate and record colour effect perceptions |
| | 3.8 | Contrast and harmony of colours are ascertained through selection of colours in accordance with the project brief |
4 | Present colour scheme | 4.1 | Final selection of colours is compiled and verified based on the research and analysis and presented to the client |
| | 4.2 | Presentation of the colour information is made to the client and specifications recorded |
| | 4.3 | A range of rendering media is used to present colour schemes |
| | 4.4 | Colour application is critiqued to assess the effectiveness of the project brief to meet client needs |
Interpret work orders and locate and apply relevant information
Identify materials used in the work process
Research, analyse and apply colours to provide the client with cost-effective options which meet the project brief requirements for a minimum of two (2) projects, and effectively apply design elements and principles
Visually present colour schemes to illustrate how ideas meet overall project requirements
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area/volume and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, presentation of design/colour concepts, the reporting of work outcomes and problems
Initiate new ideas and work techniques
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 the full range of processes for researching, analysing and applying colours
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for researching, analysing and applying colours
Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
Creativity and artistic relevance
Colour systems and theories
Types of equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Relevant computer programs
Colours, furnishings and decorations
Psychology of colours
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
Relevant problem identification and resolution
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 materials, equipment, specifications and work instructions relevant to researching, analysing and applying colours.
