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

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for operating and maintaining wet cleaning equipment

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Adopt and carry out correct procedures prior to and during the application of each of the following wet cleaning methods:

high and low water pressure cleaning

detergent cleaning

acid etching

Apply ventilation standards

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

prevent damage to goods, tools, equipment or products

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

Complete operator maintenance on wet cleaning high and low water pressure equipment

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

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

a realistic cleaning requirement

workplace location or simulated workplace

access to high and low pressure wet cleaning equipment.

access to manufacturer/user instructions and/or manuals

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 related units of competency

Submission Requirements
