Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to interpret designs and plans to produce roof truss drawings and production documents using computers in a timber production or design setting.The unit applies to Production Manager, Designer, Timber Manufactured Products Technician. 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 drawings and documentation for roof truss layouts

industry and organisational codes and standards for roof trusses

designs, plans and technical specifications for roof trusses

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

documents, spreadsheets and commonly used proforma documents

organisational policies and procedures for producing drawings and documents using computers

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.
