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

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently

interpret glass and glazing requirements and accurately determine solutions to meet work situationscustomer queries

identify and confirm requirementscustomer expectations

locate interpret and apply information for situation to be assessed

as a minimum

apply the requirements of AS Glass in buildings Selection and installation requires an understanding of scope definitions abbreviations and symbols

determine thickness limits for standard nominal thickness of glass

identify and calculate aspect ratios

determine minimum nominal glass thicknesses for various glazing situations affected by human impact

identify types of safety glazing materials

determine the safety glazing materials for various glazing situations

identify basic installation details for glazing

identify the design considerations and glazing techniques for sill supported toughened glass assemblies

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 Standard requirements

The following resources should be made available

work requirements

workplace operating procedures

an appropriate work area

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 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 correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under projectrelated 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
