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

Plan the fabrication and installation of windows and doors

Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to fabricate and install windows and doors

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to:

measure for the installation of windows and doors

work from product specification data sheets and specifier software programs

identify and select product materials, including selection of mullions and transoms in relation to wind loading.

fabricate frame and sash components including cutting, tooling, routing, milling, drilling and crimping

identify, select and install component hardware, including weather seals, wheels, stays, hinges, guides and locks

apply the window energy rating system (WERS)

select and cut glass in accordance with AS1288 and AS4667

assemble frames, including glass, gaskets, tapes, sealants, adhesives, fasteners, reveal linings and flashings in accordance with AS2047, section 6

label and certify frames in accordance with AS2047, section 8

install residential windows and doors

calculate cost of residential windows and doors

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Aluminium framing material, timber framing material, door or window glass, fittings, fixing/fasteners, workplace operating procedures, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.

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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.

Context of assessment

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


Submission Requirements
