Design ancillary residential cabinetry

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers identifying client requirements for residential cabinetry outside of kitchen, bathroom and laundry applications, including developing and documenting designs to inform production and installation processes.

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)

Confirm client choices for the cabinetry and complete design documentation, including drawings, costing and specifications for client approval

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 installation of cabinets

Features and limitations of cabinets and components

State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to cabinets and components

Relevant information resources

Costing 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.

Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, supervisor’s reports and completed design and quotation documentation for residential cabinetry.

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 work-related information resources.
