Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	This unit of competency could be assessed by application of a recognised trade skill to a heritage restoration project Application should include correct use of trade skills and knowledge ongoing monitoring of own work compliance with relevant legislation and adherence to relevant heritage restoration codes and standards as well as organisational requirements and correct cleanup procedures at completion of the work This unit of competency can be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment provided that simulated or projectbased assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions materials activities responsibilities and procedures
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to apply conservation considerations and consultative processes to determine restoration application and finish demonstrate understanding of preservation of fabric comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations apply organisational quality procedures and processes within the context of heritage restorations record and identify materials used use appropriate techniques to provide cover protection use safe and effective procedures to handle hazardous materials identify typical faults and problems that occur and necessary action taken to rectify communicate interactively with others to ensure safe and effective work site operations
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an offsite context Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards requirements Resource implications for assessment include historic work locations appropriate to competency range and activities materials appropriate to application activities appropriate documentation and data related to tasks scaffolding equipment plant tools and equipment relevant to activity processes Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources and the provision of appropriate assessment support
Method of assessment	Assessment methods must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction Plumbing and Services Training Package include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the persons demonstrated ability and applied knowledge all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct indirect and supplementary evidence Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties such as existing supervisors team leaders or specialist training staff
