Unit of Competency FWPCOT4201 - Produce complex truss and frame plans and details using computers
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to use computerised systems to produce complex truss or frame plans, including layout production, fabrication and installation instructions. Work is completed in a forest and wood products office setting.The unit applies to a designer or developer of truss and frame plans.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 plans and details for complex trusses and frames

designs, plans, drawing views and notes for complex timber wall frames, roof and floor trusses on which to base plan and details

template documents for developing production and installation advice

organisational procedures for preparing and documenting computerised plans and details for complex 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.
