Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

Required skills

communication skills to discuss ideas for wood items with others

learning skills to

improve techniques to produce wood objects through practice and some experimentation

respond constructively to feedback

literacy skills to interpret information about historical and contemporary wood practice

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to organise resources required to produce wood objects

selfmanagement skills to take responsibility for the process of creating work

Required knowledge

ways of exploring techniques and materials to achieve different effects in woodworking

physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials tools and equipment used in woodworking

work space requirements for woodworking including ways of organising and maintaining space

cleaning maintenance and storage procedures for woodworking tools materials and equipment

historical and theoretical contexts for woodworking

elements and principles of design and their particular application to woodwork

intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work

sustainability considerations associated with the use of woodworking tools materials and equipment

OHS procedures that apply to woodworking

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

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

Evidence of the ability to

produce multiple wood objects or a single major work that show some technical proficiency in chosen techniques

work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work

adapt the capabilities of woodworking techniques and resources

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

tools equipment and materials used to produce wood objects

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

evaluation of technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

direct observation of woodworking in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidates intentions and work

review of portfolios of evidence

review of thirdparty reports from experienced practitioners

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands eg literacy 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

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example

CUVPRPA Produce creative work

CUVPRP301A Produce creative work.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Ideas may be influenced by:	current capability with techniques historical and theoretical contexts subject matter or theme for the work, such as: built environment land and place natural world political, cultural and social issues the body spiritual concerns.
Techniques may include:	assemblage carving combining with other materials – synthetic and natural jig making laminating timber and timber products making mock-ups and prototyping model making steam bending timber preparation wood finishing wood turning wooden tool modification and/or making.
Wood objects may include:	carved panels: carved vessels low or high relief furniture, such as: chairs lamps tables implements, such as: cutlery letter openers jewellery other functional items, such as: boxes clocks trays walking sticks sculpture simple musical instruments turned tableware.
Key people may include:	mentors other artists peers supervisors teachers.
Strategies used to assess the capabilities of techniques may involve:	experimenting directly with work in progress producing test pieces or samples systematically testing a range of processes.
Tools and equipment may include:	fastening and fitting tools fixed equipment hand tools marking-out devices measuring devices portable equipment power tools protective equipment specialised items for: branding carving engraving shaping trimming wood turning.
Materials may include:	found objects and materials other materials that support work: leather metals stone oxidising agents and other patina agents finishing materials: lacquers paints sandpapers stains assembling, joining or binding materials: other fibres rope string thread wire wood wood products.
Needs of the work may relate to:	availability of different resources budget creative goals preparation time process-specific requirements recycling safety sustainability.
