Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to identify work site details and scope of work requirements from construction plans, drawings and specifications, and to apply that information to the initial scheduling and preparation for the work. Work tasks may relate to different areas of work and can include shopfitting, carpentry, construction and painting. The unit supports construction workers at the early stages of work when the first site visits are made and work requirements are clarified with the client or project manager. It applies to residential and commercial construction projects.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Suitable assessment of performance requires:

specifications:

plans, drawings and specifications for the three different tasks or three different construction sites specified in the performance evidence

contingencies:

differences in measurements

physical conditions:

access to site or sites represented on the plans and drawings for the work tasks

relationship with client:

consultation with client or client’s representative is required.

Assessor requirements

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
