Unit of Competency CUAACD515 - Manage specialised finishing processes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes skills and knowledge required to safely manage a variety of specialised finishing processes in the context of independent creative practice.It applies to individuals such as ceramicists, glass artists, sculptors, jewellers and others who use aesthetic and technical finishing options with hard materials in their practices.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

relevant information about finishing processes, materials and equipment

a safe work space for specialised finishing processes.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
