| | 2.4 | Selection of colours for walls, ceilings, furnishings and wall hangings are reviewed in their effect on raising or lowering the effect of light into the space |
| | 2.5 | Characteristics of natural light are researched and reported in accordance with the project brief goals |
| | 2.6 | Methods of light control and light control devices are assessed for their affect on natural light |
3 | Assess artificial light sources | 3.1 | Artificial light sources and their properties are assessed for adequacy in achieving desired lighting effects |

| | 3.3 | Location of artificial lights are identified and required changes to location to meet desired effects are determined |
| | 3.4 | Affect of artificial lighting on the colour spectrum is analysed |
| | 3.5 | Technical terms associated with artificial lighting are used to communicate lighting requirements |
| | 3.6 | Special effects that can be achieved using artificial lighting are identified |
| | 3.7 | Industry standards and requirements for artificial lighting are researched and identified |
4 | Select light fittings | 4.1 | Research is conducted to determine cost and energy efficient light fittings to meet the requirements of an integrated decoration solution |
| | 4.2 | Required locations of light fittings are identified |
| | 4.3 | Light fittings are selected and specifications documented |
| | 4.4 | Electricity board is assessed to determine potential complications with selected light fittings |
| | 4.5 | Electrician is consulted to confirm costing and installation requirements to implement lighting schedule |
5 | Draw and present lighting layouts for an interior space | 5.1 | Lighting layout is documented using industry symbols and conventions |
| | 5.2 | Selection of light fittings are related to layout, including furniture, ceiling forms and natural light |
| | 5.3 | Formats for schedules of light fittings are researched |
| | 5.4 | Lighting schedule is completed |
| | 5.5 | Costing are determined and documented |
| | 5.6 | Lighting layout is presented to client |
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
Assess light for it environmental impact and ability to meet decorative requirements, and provide the client with cost-effective and efficient lighting solutions
Apply design elements and principles in recommending light fittings and provide a documented lighting layout and schedule
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 and specifications relevant to assessing interior light and recommending light fittings.
