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 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 prepare all components for manufacture of a shopfront providing evidence of the ability to

demonstrate operational safety compliance with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations

apply organisational quality procedures and processes within context of assembling and installing a shopfront

identify design delivered assemblies components fittings and assembly diagram

identify and select components and fittings to locations in assembled shopfront

select and use appropriate processes tools and equipment to assemble and install nominated unit

demonstrate appropriate and effective applications to prepare opening to receive framework

safely and efficiently assemble sections components and fittings

safely and efficiently install bulkhead into position

safely and efficiently locate and install assembly into place

safely and efficiently install components and fittings and where applicable check for designed operation

identify typical faults and problems that occur and action required to rectify them

communicate with others to ensure safe and effective workplace 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

workshop location with appropriate area

tools and equipment appropriate to required tasks

materials and prepared components for assembly processes

drawings specifications and other documentation relevant to activity

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 a reasonable inference that competency is not only verified under the particular assessment circumstance but is 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 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
