Qualification -
Unit of Competency LMFID4002A - Decorate residential interiors
Description This unit specifies the outcomes required to decorate residential interiors for the solution of interior decoration projects in accordance with project briefs.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required to analyse a design brief, conduct research and generate decoration ideas and concepts to create a visual experience in a previously defined interior space. This unit includes skills required to select materials and finishes for surface decoration and to arrange the objects and elements within the space. This unit does not cover skills required to alter established structural aspects of the building or building services.This unit covers employability skills in teamwork and communication in order to work with others in the design process. Planning and organising and problem skills are required to apply design processes and initiative and enterprise are required to develop to design ideas. Self management and learning skills are applied to assess and reflect on own design skills and identify areas for improvement.
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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Effectively analyse a project brief to determine client requirements

Work through the decoration process collecting the required information

Effectively establish criteria for the intended solutions to meet the requirements of the project brief

Effectively design for at least two interior residential spaces to provide the client with creative solutions that satisfy the project brief

Visually and verbally present decoration solution

Effectively apply design elements and principles in designing for residential space

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for designing for residential space

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 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:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to decorating residential interiors

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
