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

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

Comply with legislation regulations standards codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for installing resilient wall coverings

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

Complete a minimum of

one installation of a wet wall resilient wall covering installation using a horizontal installation system including internal and external corners to walls the covering of window reveals and sealing to door frames and fittings

one installation of a wet wall resilient wall covering installation using a vertical installation system including internal and external corners to walls the covering of window reveals and sealing to door frames and fittings

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge other than confirmatory questions will usually be conducted in an offsite context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to installing resilient sheet to walls

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions real or simulated and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
