Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Establish procedures for handling and movement of cultural material
  2. Monitor movement/storage activities
  3. Manage movement/storage records

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence It is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines of the relevant Training Package

Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit

application of planning and organisational skills to the development and implementation of procedures for movementstorage of cultural material

sound knowledge of the internal external and technical issues that impact on movementstorage of cultural material

Context of assessment and consistency of performance

The assessment context must provide for

practical demonstration of skills through the development and implementation of movementstorage procedures for specific cultural material

involvement of and interaction with others to reflect the consultative and teamleading nature of the unit

assessment over a period of time to reflect the ongoing implementation and monitoring aspects of the unit

Relationships to other units

It is recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units

BSBFLMA Lead work teams

BSBFLM404A - Lead work teams

CUEFINB Manage a budget

CUEFIN02B - Manage a budget

CULMSA Movestore cultural material

CULMS003A - Move/store cultural material

This unit also has linkages with a range of other museumspecific and general units and combined assessment andor training with those units may be appropriate

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

evaluation of procedures developed by the candidate and the processes used

case studies to assess ability to develop options for different workplace contexts and situations

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of technical and other considerations in the movementstorage of cultural material

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups eg people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those with interrupted schooling

Essential skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills

technicalconservation issues associated with the movement of particular cultural material in a given work context

technicalconservation issues associated with the storage of particular cultural material in a given work context

typical protection transportation storage and security procedures and practices relevant to the work context

legal and administrative requirements for the movementstorage of cultural material

cultural protocols that affect the movementstorage of cultural material including those for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander material

copyright moral rights and intellectual property legislation and issues that impact on movementstorage of cultural material

safety legislation and requirements that impact on the movementstorage of cultural material

planning and organisational techniques and processes in relation to the movementstorage of cultural material

communication and consultation skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret a wide range of information and communicate detailed procedures and systems

Specific resource requirements

Assessment of this unit requires access to

relevant policies and procedures manuals

a collection for which procedures can be planned

Generic employability skills

The seven Key Competencies represent generic skills considered for effective work participation The bracketed numbering against each of the Key Competencies indicates the performance level required in this unit

Level represents the competence to undertake tasks effectively

Level represents the competence to manage tasks

Level represents the competence to use concepts for evaluating and reshaping tasks

How can communication of ideas and information be applied

Developing a procedures manual for movementstorage of cultural material

How can information be collected analysed and organised

Assessing technical information to develop protocols for movementstorage of cultural material

How are activities planned and organised

Organising transportation arrangements

How can team work be applied

Consulting with colleagues during development processes

How can the use of mathematical ideas and techniques be applied

Estimating costs

How can problem solving skills be applied

Developing approaches to shortcomings in record keeping systems

How can the use of technology be applied

Using the Internet to source transportation suppliers
