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. |

3 | Develop decoration ideas | 3.1 | Products, materials and finishes are explored in accordance with the marketing strategy and discussed with event organisers |
| | 3.2 | Product quantities and qualities are calculated in accordance with event budget |
| | 3.3 | Performance and characteristics of products are assessed and reviewed in accordance with event requirements |
| | 3.4 | Costs associated with purchasing and obtaining the products are analysed and evaluated |
| | 3.5 | Colour options are explored and discussed for the event |
| | 3.6 | Sketches and drawings are completed and positioning of products and accessories identified |
4 | Complete decoration proposal | 4.1 | Supplies necessary to complete the project are sourced and costed |
| | 4.2 | Suitable contractors are sourced and quotes obtained |
| | 4.3 | Specifications for materials and processes are developed |
| | 4.4 | Work plan is developed and evaluated |
| | 4.5 | Costing and timelines are compiled and developed into a full project proposal |
| | 4.6 | Proposal is presented to client |
| | 4.7 | Client feedback and response is analysed to determine success in achieving client satisfaction |
| | 4.8 | Own performance in the design process is examined to identify strengths and weaknesses |
| | 4.9 | 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
Develop decoration proposal for one (1) event to provide cost-effective options that meet all event objectives effectively applying design elements and principles
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, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
Use computer aided design techniques
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 decorating for events
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures
Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
Creativity and artistic relevance
Ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values
Types of equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Computer programs used to support proposal development
Event display techniques
Design themes and design development
Colours, furnishings and decorations
Sketching and drawing techniques
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

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 decorating for events.
