Application
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in leadlight and stained glass operations. The requirement to apply innovation in contemporary lead light and stained glass 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. |

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 | Read and interpret a design specification Identify and explain the properties of lead light and stained glass Conduct research into new and innovative applications of lead light and stained glass Apply in depth knowledge of a wide range of techniques and media that may be used and adapted for lead light and stained glass Create panels using differing innovative lead light and stained glass effects Identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on lead light and stained glass Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for 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 and Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace materials and equipment relevant to the production of innovative 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 |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
