Evidence Required
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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Interpret work order, locate materials and use information to complete tasks in constructing pelmets Apply safe handling practices and safe operating procedures for equipment, products and materials to: minimise the risk of injury to self or others prevent damage to goods, equipment and products Identify materials and equipment used in constructing pelmets Select, set up and maintain equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace practices Communicate and work with others in the work area Report process for materials faults, damaged products or equipment Cut component materials according to work orders to within +/- 1 mm Construct a minimum of four pelmets suitable for four different style of internal blinds |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of required knowledge and skills may be conducted in workplace or simulated workplace environments The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to constructing pelmets workplace practices including standard operating procedures and work instructions for constructing pelmets |
Method of assessment | Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge and skills Assessment methods should be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on required knowledge and skills to ensure its correct interpretation and application Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency |
