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

Read and interpret a design specification

Identify and explain the properties of lead light and stained glass

Conduct research into new and innovative applications of lead light and stained glass

Apply in depth knowledge of a wide range of techniques and media that may be used and adapted for lead light and stained glass

Create panels using differing innovative lead light and stained glass effects

Identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on lead light and stained glass

Comply with legislation regulations standards codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for lead light and stained glass

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

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 and Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to the production of innovative lead light and stained glass

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
