Unit of Competency LMFFDT6005A - Work collaboratively on a design project
Description This unit specifies the outcomes required to work collaboratively on a design project from initial agreement to fulfilment and delivery of the final product, applying integral design elements and principles.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in furnishing operations of all sizes. Working collaboratively on a design project applies to an industry workplace or design studio environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a managerial level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual's job and authority.This unit includes employability skills in planning and organising, problem solving and initiative and enterprise to achieve design project outcomes. Teamwork and communication skills are fundamental in achieving collaborative results. Self management and learning are applied when reviewing and monitoring own role within a collaborative process.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Effectively work collaboratively on a design project in accordance with client requirements, setting a project plan and design brief

Effectively apply design elements and principles to working collaboratively on a design project

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for working collaboratively on a design project

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 essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to working collaboratively on a design project

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

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

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

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or 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
