Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that is as industry realistic as possible. In a simulated environment, it is essential that assessment is conducted:

using suitable facilities, equipment and resources, including:

a suitable work area where tools and equipment can be safely applied to construct signage

signage construction materials and relevant hand and power tools

building and grounds maintenance schedules and work proposals

under industry conditions where there is:

integration of tasks with possible interruptions to work typical of the job role

speed and timing requirements that reflect commercial operating conditions

interaction with supervisor

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
