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.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Interpret work order, locate materials and use information to complete tasks in installing interior blinds

Apply safe handling practices and safe operating procedures for equipment, products and materials to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

Identify materials and equipment used in installing interior blinds

Select, set up and maintain equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace practices

Communicate and work with others in the work area

Report process for materials faults, damaged products or equipment

Install a minimum of four different styles of interior blind in a range of on-site or simulated locations

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for installing interior blinds

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of required knowledge and skills may be conducted in workplace and simulated workplace environments

The following resources should be made available:

installation site or simulated installation site

materials and equipment relevant to installing interior blinds

workplace practices including standard operating procedures and work instructions for installing interior blinds

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge and skills

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on required knowledge and skills to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real and simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
