Conserve heritage leadlight and stained glass

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers conserving heritage leadlight and stained glass by preservation, restoration or reconstruction under the principles determined by the Australia International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Burra Charter.

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 glass and glazing 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).

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 a panel, materials, equipment and specifications relevant to the conservation of heritage leadlight and stained glass panels.
