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 | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan and prepare for signage work. | 1.1 Liaise with supervisor to identify and confirm work requirements. 1.2 Identify, prepare and use personal protective equipment. 1.3 Interpret and follow plans, specifications and job instructions. 1.4 Select materials according to work requirements. 1.5 Select and assemble tools and equipment according to work requirements. 1.6 Check tools and equipment for serviceability and report faults. |
2. Construct signage. | 2.1 Classify sign type according to job specification. 2.2 Cut and join materials to job specification. 2.3 Finish surface of signage to job specification. 2.4 Select and use appropriate fasteners and fixing devices according to manufacturer guidelines. |
3. Clean up equipment and work area. | 3.1 Dispose of waste material according to workplace requirements. 3.2 Protect and package completed sign for transportation to sign location. 3.3 Clean, maintain and store tools and equipment according to manufacturer guidelines and workplace requirements. |
Evidence of the ability to:
select, prepare, use, maintain and clean the required tools and equipment according to supervisor instructions, workplace policies and procedures, and manufacturer guidelines
construct signs according to job specifications.
Evidence of performance of constructing two or more signs is required to demonstrate consistency of performance and ability to respond to different situations.
Demonstrated knowledge of:
basic principles and practices of sign construction
material selection, including fixing and fasteners
safety use and operation of equipment and hand and power tools in relation to constructing signs, including the use of personal protective equipment
federal, state or territory, and local government legislation and regulations that impact on sign construction, including:
work health and safety/occupational health and safety
local government regulations
Environment Protection Act
Australian standards
Safe Work Australia certification and standards
environmental impacts in relation to constructing signs and minimal impact practices to reduce these, especially those that relate to resource, water and energy use
correct and environmentally sound disposal methods for all types of waste and in particular for hazardous substance in relation to constructing signs
workplace policies and procedure in regard to sign construction.
Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that is as industry realistic as possible. In a simulated environment, it is essential that assessment is conducted:
using suitable facilities, equipment and resources, including:
a suitable work area where tools and equipment can be safely applied to construct signage
signage construction materials and relevant hand and power tools
building and grounds maintenance schedules and work proposals
under industry conditions where there is:
integration of tasks with possible interruptions to work typical of the job role
speed and timing requirements that reflect commercial operating conditions
interaction with supervisor
Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
