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 | Determine required adjustment techniques | 1.1 | Access to site is obtained according to project guidelines and work health and safety (WHS) procedures |
| | 1.2 | Measurements and required adjustments are examined |
| | 1.3 | Problem-solving skills are applied and techniques selected to conduct adjustments with minimal disruption to cabinet construction |
| | 1.4 | Cabinet design is checked to ensure design and industry standards will be maintained with completion of cabinet adjustments |
2 | Make adjustments | 2.1 | Cabinet markings are inspected and confirmed to ensure accurate adjustments |
| | 2.2 | Adjustments are conducted using appropriate techniques and tools |
| | 2.3 | Area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of according to environmental standards |
3 | Confirm accurate fit | 3.1 | Measurements are made to ensure cabinet readiness for installation |
| | 3.2 | Edges and lines are measured to ensure fit is straight and flush |
| | 3.3 | Doors, drawers, runners, handles and latches are checked for correct alignment |
| | 3.4 | Tolerances are checked to ensure standards are achieved |
| | 3.5 | Workplace documentation is completed |
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.
