Unit of Competency | CUESET05C - Apply set construction techniques |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge to apply basic carpentry skills to the construction of sets within any production in the cultural industries. As such it focuses on the particular A person working under supervision would generally undertake this role. Skills working with hand and power tools would be required to complete this unit.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | People assisting with the construction of sets in the screen, media and entertainment industries apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. In this role they use hand and power tools, and a range of materials and techniques, to create simple set elements such as flats and treads. At this level their work would be closely supervised. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
||
| Prerequisites/co-requisites | This unit has linkages with a range of other general building and construction units and set construction units. It is strongly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units: CPCCCM1005A Carry out measurements and calculations MEM18001C Use hand tools | ||

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
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 | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: understanding of the properties, applications and durability of different types of materials that can be used to make set elements correct and safe use of techniques to construct simple set elements. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through construction of set elements on more than one occasion completion of set construction tasks within realistic workplace timeframes. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of the candidate using techniques to construct set elements evaluation of items constructed by the candidate in terms of quality finishing and appropriate structural soundness oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of set construction and stage geography terminology portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: materials, tools and equipment required to construct simple set elements a workspace in which construction can take place. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills |
literacy skills sufficient to interpret safety instructions numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and take measurements |
Required knowledge |
terminology used in set construction, including types of scenery, joints and fixing systems stage geography terminology particular types of materials used for set construction, rationale for selection of these materials and their properties, applications and durability particular techniques used in set construction and rationale, including common types of joints and assembly techniques safety issues associated with the construction of sets, including various fireproofing techniques for different materials format and meaning of technical drawings used to inform set construction organisational and legislative occupational health and safety requirements, in particular with regard to safe manual handling techniques and working with hazardous substances |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Set construction techniques at this level would generally involve construction of the following: | braces doors built into a flat flats flown pieces treads windows built into a flat |
Set materials may include: | adhesives craftwood, Masonite, plywood fabric fasteners fibreglass, canvas and other fabrics metal products, e.g.: bars, tubes, sheets, moulded or cast metal paper particle board plastics, e.g.: moulded sheet timber timber products |
Appropriate techniques may include: | fastening gluing joining metalworking, e.g.: welding, cutting timber construction techniques, e.g. cutting |
Occupational and public health and safety legislative requirements may include: | Commonwealth, State and Territory occupational health and safety regulations relevant local government legislation and regulation relevant national and international standards, guidelines and codes of practice, e.g. the Building Code of Australia |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
