Conduct on-site adjustments to cabinets and components

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers determining required cabinet adjustments, selecting appropriate techniques, and making and checking the adjustments to pre-made cabinets in order to achieve accurate fit at site of installation.

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 kitchen and bathroom 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)

Interpret work order 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

Take and record accurate measurements of installed cabinets and apply appropriate problem-solving techniques to determine the necessary adjustment required for on site cabinetry

Complete operations to adjust cabinets using hand and power tools safely and efficiently using identified techniques that do not damage the cabinetry or site structure

Conduct quality checks on adjusted cabinets to ensure they meet specifications

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

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

Processes used for the construction and modification of cabinets

Features of cabinets and components

State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to on-site work

Characteristics of materials, products and defects

Procedures for documenting workplace records and information

Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

Relevant problem identification and resolution 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. Evidence must be provided of correct adjustment of cabinetry components in at least two installation sites.

Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence and supervisor’s reports.

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 tools required for measurement and completing adjustments; and plans, drawings and manuals relating to project.
