Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to interpret plans and layouts and prepare computerised quotations for roof and floor trusses and wall frames. Work is completed in a timber and wood products production setting.The unit applies to Customer Service/Sales Assistant (retail or wholesale), Customer Service officer, Sales and Merchandising Team leader, Timber Advisor. No licensing, legislative, regulatory, 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.

The following resources must be made available:

computers, keyboards and industry current software programs used to produce quotations for timber wall frames, roof and floor trusses

designs, plans, technical specifications and notes for timber wall frames, roof and floor trusses on which to base quotation

in-house material price lists, product description sheets or manuals; either electronic or hard copy

template documents for recording calculations and quotations

sample production and installation advice documents

organisational procedures for preparing and documenting computerised quotations for timber wall frames, roof and floor trusses.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
