Prepare display mounts for collection material

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency CULCNM402A - Prepare display mounts for collection material
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to prepare sites for the display of collection material.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to individuals who construct and assemble display areas. The unit focuses on assembly and construction of display mounts and therefore has a strong link to general building and construction skills.In large cultural institutions, this work may constitute a complete job and be the responsibility of qualified tradespeople working under the guidance of curators and other specialised senior staff. In smaller organisations, people with a wide range of general and collection-management responsibilities may undertake this role, either under supervision or autonomously.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

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

Evidence of the ability to:

apply safe work practices when displaying collection material

use common equipment, methods and materials to construct and assemble mountings for the display of collection material.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

collection material that needs to be mounted for display

relevant policies and procedures manuals

equipment, tools and materials used for display of a collection

relevant personnel.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance

case study requiring construction or assembly of mountings for a display of collection material

direct observation of the candidate completing construction or assembly tasks

inspection of construction or assembly work completed by the candidate

inspection of records completed by the candidate

verbal or written questioning to assess knowledge of safety issues and equipment features.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular client groups (consider the requirements of different age groups, clients with English as a second language, clients with disabilities, remote library users, etc.).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry

CUEOHS01C Implement workplace health, safety and security procedures

CULEVP403A Install and dismantle exhibition elements.
