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 | Research and evaluate a range of complex spaces | 1.1 | The spatial relationships of objects in a range of interior spaces are observed and evaluated |
| 1.2 | A range of existing spatial typologies are observed and compared |
| | 1.3 | A range of existing spatial arrangements and organising systems are observed and evaluated |
2 | Manipulate 3-D space and form applying design methodologies | 2.1 | The elements and principles of design are applied to organise elements in 3-D interior space to satisfy brief requirements |
| 2.2 | 3-D space is manipulated using colour, texture and light |
| | 2.3 | Complex spatial arrangements are explored to satisfy brief requirements |
| | 2.4 | Scale, volume and proportion are explored for 3-D space and form to satisfy brief requirements |
3 | Resolve interior design problems applying design methodologies | 3.1 | Interior space is resolved applying the elements and principles of design |
| 3.2 | Interior design elements are resolved applying the elements and principles of design |
| | 3.3 | Design solution is evaluated and further refined to satisfy brief requirements |
| | 3.4 | Interior design solution is communicated through a range of media |
| | 3.5 | Feasibility of solution is explored and qualified |
| | 3.6 | Design solution and processes used are reviewed to assess own skill and identify areas for improvement or modification |
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
Apply design elements and principles to complex 3-D form and interior space and manipulate the elements and principles of design
Use conceptual models and other 3-D and spatial visualisation techniques
Observe and analyse the way complex spaces are configured and arranged and apply this to resolving interior design problems by exploring, evaluating and refining design solutions
Observe and compare 3-D spaces to understand and apply the elements and principles of design when organising 3-D space
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 applying creative methodologies
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for applying creative methodologies
Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
Interrelationship of forms in space
Concept of space
Uses of objects and forms
Interior elements
Space, volume and proportion and their application to interior design
Spatial concepts, such as illusion (e.g. Trompe d'l oeil)
Relationship of objects in space
Methods of interpreting space
Design process and progression of ideas
Environmental protection considerations for interior design
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution techniques
Design communication 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 materials, equipment and specifications relevant to exploring and applying creative design methodologies to interior space.
