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 | Analyse the project brief | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to decorating for residential spaces are verified and complied with |
| | 1.2 | Project brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with client |
| | 1.3 | Parameters for the project are assessed and confirmed |
| | 1.4 | Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness |
| | 1.5 | Communication with others is established and maintained |
| | 1.6 | Problems or underlying factors to be addressed by the project brief are verified |
2 | Conduct research on decoration requirements | 2.1 | Site analysis is conducted to assess the requirements of the spaces requiring decoration |
| 2.2 | Intended function of the space is ascertained from the client or project brief |
| | 2.3 | Style, era, theme and feature of the site are identified |
| | 2.4 | Issues relating to the conservation and heritage environment are identified and their implications for the project determined |
| | 2.5 | Environmental issues are identified and analysed |
| | 2.6 | Areas for research are identified to inform the decoration process |
| | 2.7 | Collected information is documented |
3 | Generate decoration solution | 3.1 | Decoration concepts are generated and assessed against restoration requirements |
| | 3.2 | Decoration treatments are selected according to the needs of the restoration style and era |
| | 3.3 | Regulatory requirements relating to decoration are assessed to determine compliance |
| | 3.4 | Environmental aspects of decoration solution are examined and areas for improved sustainability are identified and incorporated where possible |
| | 3.5 | Conceptual approach is developed and clearly defined |
| | 3.6 | Concept is presented to client using a range of concept presentation methods |
| | 3.7 | Ideas are discussed with client and feedback received and analysed |
| | 3.8 | Concept is modified according to feedback |
| | 3.9 | Agreement on the concept is gained from the client |
4 | Prepare client presentation | 4.1 | Preliminary drawings are developed with decoration treatment inclusions and positioning |
| | 4.2 | Final decoration solution is communicated effectively and creatively using a range of techniques and media |
| | 4.3 | Work is completed to plan and within restoration brief constraints |
| | 4.4 | Client feedback and response are analysed to determine success in achieving client satisfaction |
| | 4.5 | Own performance in the decoration process is examined to identify strengths and weaknesses |
| | 4.6 | 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, conduct research to determine decoration requirements for restoration projects and effectively determine decoration solution for at least two (2) restoration projects
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
Present ideas visually and draw using manual and computer based 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 restoration projects
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for decorating residential spaces
Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia (BCA)
The Burra Charter, the Australia ICOMOS charter for places of cultural significance, 1999
Environmental protection requirements
Features of architectural styles and eras
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Elements and principles of design, including liveability and accessibility
Ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values
Historical design styles and movements
Techniques for the preparation and presentation of research information
Characteristics of decoration materials, products and defects
Relevant computer programs
Sketching and drawing techniques
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 interiors for restoration projects.
