Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify products, fittings and attachments to be used
  • Type of tracks, rods or poles to be fitted and work order requirements are identified
  • Attachments, required materials and tools are identified from work instructions and, where necessary, site inspection
  • The effect of the fitting process on overall finished window is identified
       
Element: Plan process for fitting attachments to products
  • OHS requirements, including ergonomic criteria and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Appropriate equipment is identified to minimise risks of damage to customers' premises or injuries to self
  • Manufacturers' information on products used is located and used to plan work
  • Attachment process is planned to conform to quality requirements, minimise time, economically use materials and maximise appearance of the finished work
  • Materials, tools and equipment are assembled and checked for suitability for purpose
  • Track/pole/rod width and projection is set up to correctly match work order requirements
       
Element: Complete fitting operations
  • Work plan is followed ensuring compliance with workplace procedures and OH&S requirements
  • Tracks/rods/poles are installed and tested for correct operation
       
Element: Clean work area and prepare products for the next process
  • Work site and any equipment used is cleaned and stored appropriately
  • Unserviceable equipment is tagged, faults are identified and appropriate personnel are informed
  • Completed work is inspected and compared to workplace quality requirements
  • Fittings which do not meet quality specifications are repaired on-site or returned to the workroom for repair
  • Appropriate documentation is completed
       


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

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

prevent damage to goods, equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

Fit and adjust at least five different types of window tracks, which must include at least one cord-drawn, one decorative pole and one conduit. This must include at least one ceiling fitted and one face fitted

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Tracks, rods, poles, conduit, tools and equipment, appropriate quality specifications and instructions.

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 will generally 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 work orders, plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

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

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

use the limited workplace technology related to the fitting and adjusting tasks, including tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to fitting, customising and adjusting curtain tracks, poles and other hardware, including bending of tracks

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

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 individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machines. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment

Curtain hardware may include:

hand-drawn or cord-drawn tracks

decorative rods

poles

cord tensioners and conduit

Fitting and adjustment

Fitting and adjustment covers work involved in the fitting, customising and adjustment of tracks, decorative rods, poles and conduit for window coverings that are hand-drawn, manually cord-drawn or fixed

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

hand or power operated tools

including drills

hammers

screwdrivers

Width and projection set up

Width and projection set up is to provide for stacking space, overlap, projection, return, and number of rings/hooks, guides/runners and other fittings

Personal protective equipment

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

Information and procedures

Machine manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of machinery

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.
