7 | Present decoration solution to client | 7.1 | Final presentation is prepared for the client |
| | 7.2 | Final presentation is presented to the client with key features and benefits of the solution explained |
| | 7.3 | Client is engaged to gain feedback on decoration elements |
8 | Reflect on decoration process | 8.1 | Client feedback and response are analysed to determine success in achieving client satisfaction |
| | 8.2 | Own performance in the design process is examined to identify strengths and weaknesses |
| | 8.3 | Areas for improvement are identified |
Interpret work orders 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
Analyse a project brief to determine client requirements and work through the decoration process collecting the required information
Establish criteria for the intended solutions to meet the requirements of the project brief and effectively design at least two (2) interior residential spaces applying design elements and principles to provide the client with creative solutions that satisfy the project brief
Draw using manual and computer based techniques and visually and verbally present decoration solution
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

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 decorating residential interiors.
