This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in leadlight and stained glass operations. The requirement to prepare and install leadlight and stained glass in structural and other architecturally engineered applications applies to a workshop and onsite environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a tradesperson level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual's job and authority. |

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 | Read and interpret a work/job specification Identify a range of structural lead lighting and stained glass detailing their uses and limitations Identify and explain the properties of structural lead light and stained glass Identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on architectural lead light and stained glass Prepare and install an architecturally engineered lead light/stain glass installation Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for structural lead light and stained glass Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to installing structural lead light and stained glass specifications and work instructions |
Method of assessment | Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency |
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. | |
