Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. It is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines of the relevant Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

ability to organise and co-ordinate the work of team for installation/dismantling

detailed knowledge of the exhibition set-up process in the relevant industry context

application of organisational, planning and problem solving skills

Context of assessment and consistency of performance

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the co-ordination of an installation/dismantling process

involvement of and interaction with a team for whom the candidate can plan and organise work

Relationships to other units

It is recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following unit:

BSBFLM404A - Lead work teams

This unit also has linkages to a range of other technical and general supervisory units, and combined assessment and/or training with those units would be appropriate, for example:

CUVCRS03A - Produce computer-aided drawings

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of an installation co-ordinated by the candidate

evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate detailing methods used to organise installation/dismantling, challenges faced and how these were resolved

case studies and problem-solving exercises to assess ability to plan for different situations and contexts

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups [e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling].

Essential skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills:

in depth knowledge of the installation/dismantling process

planning and organisational requirements for exhibition installation/dismantling, the roles of key personnel and the typical issues and problems encountered

inventory systems and procedures used for equipment and materials in an exhibitions context

sources of additional equipment and supplies for different exhibition elements

sources of specialist assistance relevant to the work context

Occupational Health and Safety requirements that affect the allocation of work and the movement of physical elements

environmental and other risk factors for both people and physical elements

principles of universal access and impact on installation

technical procedures for handling physical elements in the relevant work context, eg artworks, historical objects

cultural protocols that impact on installation/dismantling, including those for ATSI material

effective communication techniques in relation to team leading

Specific resource requirements

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

an exhibition and exhibition venue

physical exhibition elements

exhibition documentation
