Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to manually paint signs on surfaces, comprised of various letter types and graphics. It covers setting out the sign to scale from a smaller design template using different layout methods; selecting and using tools and equipment to paint letters and graphics; and using brush strokes, techniques and decorative effects to achieve the desired result. The unit supports sign manufacturers who produce customised signs that are painted directly on to surfaces for a range of purposes, including advertising boards and retail signs.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.
