Elements of Competency
Performance Criteria
Element: Prepare for work
Specifications concerning design, leather coverings, accessories and finish are confirmed with designer/customer/client, as required
Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protective needs, are observed throughout the work
Materials, work method and sequence are determined
Suitable work area is selected, prepared and cleaned of any contaminants
Appropriate equipment and tools are selected and checked for safe operation
Furniture frames/foundations are checked for quality of construction, contaminants and appropriateness to specifications, and modified and/or repaired in accordance with workplace practices
Leather panels are checked in terms of quantity, quality, grain, contaminants, size and wear stress
Trims are selected and checked in terms of quantity, quality, contaminants, size, pattern and consistency
Element: Fit and apply leather
Work pieces are laid out in sequence according to specifications, construction process and workplace procedures
Leather pieces are applied to furniture ensuring that appropriate leather is fitted to high wear areas and a smooth and consistent finish of the leather over the furniture foundation
Decorative features, including pleats are applied to the leather, before fitting as required
Leather is secured to the foundation, using appropriate fixing processes
Finish of applied leather is checked against quality standards
Element: Apply trim
Work pieces are laid out in sequence according to specifications and workplace procedures
Trims and decorative finishes are applied to the item consistent with specifications and workplace procedures
Trims and decorative finishes are checked against quality standards and modified and or repaired, as required
Final adjustments are made, as required, to ensure finish of completed item meets required quality standards
Element: Complete work
Finished product is packaged, protected and stored, in accordance with workplace procedures
Workplace documentation is completed in accordance with procedures
Waste and scrap are collected for disposal/recycling in accordance with workplace procedures
Tools and equipment used are cleaned, inspected for serviceability and stored in accordance with workplace procedures
Equipment is maintained and work area is cleaned in accordance with workplace procedures
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
Identify and select materials used and any special handling requirements for those materials
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, given cut leather pieces, fit and apply leather to a chair
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Appropriate tools and equipment, leather panels, trims, furniture frames and foundations, work order, workplace information including work procedures and/or equipment 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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.
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

Required skills
collect, organise and understand information related to hand and power tools, work orders, maintenance systems and safety procedures
communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
work with others in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements
use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate problems, avoid re-working and wastage
use the limited workplace technology related to the fitting and application of leather to furniture
Required knowledge
work requirements including workplace standards
workflow in relation to applying leather to furniture
leather types and their characteristics, common faults and inspection procedures
appropriate quality and fit of finished product
design features of the finished furnishing items
