Required skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret information including instructionsspecifications the brief

numeracy skills sufficient to interpret and correctly apply calculations and measurements required for the production of scale models

Required knowledge

the ways in which scale model making is used with a specific industry context

general knowledgebasic principles of model making

detailed knowledge of physical properties and capabilities of the range of equipment tools and materials used for scale model making

work space requirements for the production of models including set up of work space for particular types of scale model making work

environmental issues associated with the equipment tools and materials used in scale model making

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to scale model making

awareness of copyright moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation associated with scale model making work

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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

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

application of selected techniques to make models consistent with project objectives and parameters

knowledge of the processes and techniques used for scale model making

presentation techniques for models in a specific workplace context

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for

practical demonstration of skills using required materials tools and equipment to make scale models for a specific workplace purpose

Method of assessment

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

direct observation of the production of models

evaluation of scale models made by the candidate

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of scale modelmaking techniques

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of 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 eg speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those with interrupted schooling

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to make and present scale models
