Decorate interiors for restoration projects

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers specifying interior decoration solutions for restoration projects, including analysing the project brief, conducting research and developing solutions for the decoration of interiors, according to the conservation and heritage requirements of the building style and era.

It does not cover skills required for interior designs that require changes to established structural aspects of the building or to building services.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking interior decoration and design work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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 interiors for restoration projects.
