The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate, interpret and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Identify requirements of task and organise work to achieve goals and results

Interpret specifications and measurements in two and three-dimensional form

Satisfy ergonomic criteria during the drawing process

Present relevant information within the production drawing using computer-aided processes and techniques

Label and store drawing outcomes

Suggest improvements to drawing activities and where authorised, negotiate changes

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

Resource implications

Line and production drawing requirements, specifications, dimensions and drawing equipment.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and/or samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated workplace facility with relevant equipment, simulated work instructions and deadlines.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to the drawing requirement, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the conceptual requirements, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and dimensions, create accurate and scaled drawings, and estimate material requirements

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate drawing problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the drawing, including drafting tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

computer-aided drawing processes and techniques

drawing presentation standards

ergonomic principles for furniture design and manufacture

enterprise or equivalent operating procedures, including procedures for preparing drawings and presenting information

relevant regulatory requirements, recognised standards and codes, and industry practices

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
