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 of Evidence

Manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

Resource Implications

Safe work area, coating materials, timber components/furnishings requiring finishing and cleaning materials.

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 questioning on underpinning knowledge.

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

Context of Assessment

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

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to materials, work orders, plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate coating problems, avoid re-working and avoid wastage

use limited workplace technology related to coating

Required knowledge

characteristics, limitations and uses of coating materials required for the project

coating application equipment, techniques and safe working procedures

basic repair techniques to defects in timber surfaces

safe handling of materials associated with applying coatings

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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included.

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individual to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the accurate application of polish

A basic project may include:

the coating of tables (occasional

coffee)

chairs or stools and other furnishing items

Stains may include but are not limited to:

water stain

pigment oil stain

lacquer-based wiping stain

Wood grain filler may include but is not limited to:

oil-based filler

polyurethane (plastic) filler

water-based filler

Finishing materials may include but are not limited to:

oil varnish

marine varnish

lacquer and sanding sealer

Lubricating oil may include but is not limited to:

linseed oil

paraffin oil

'teak' oil

Surface faults may include:

machine marks

bruising

pencil marks

grease

cross-sanding marks

scratches

glue marks

dirt marks

insect and termite holes

holes

knots

and blisters

Tools and equipment may include:

filler blades

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
