Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

  3. Designs which fail to satisfy assessment but which have optional/alternative potential are referred to the appropriate party
  4. Designs which satisfy potential are conditionally endorsed, with the conditions being recorded and passed to the appropriate party
  5. Formal records of the determination are completed and processed in accordance with enterprise procedures

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 of evidence

Locate, access and interpret all required information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

For a minimum of two different product designs, determine and report on their feasibility by completing the following or equivalent steps:

define the design objectives and detail

establish assessment criteria

apply assessment criteria impartially

determine feasibility options

Communicate effectively with team and customers

Maintain accurate records

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

Access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the feasibility of designs.

They may include real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, customer requirements, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards and enterprise procedures.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency, or the potential for consistency, of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of work activities and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant background information, simulated work instructions and deadlines.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

research, collect, organise and understand information related to the design, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of work with team members and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities to avoid any back tracking or reworking requirements

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete calculations necessary to support the determination process

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate problems, and avoid unsubstantiated decisions

use the workplace technology available to assist in the administration of the determination system, including computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

intellectual property law requirements

design core and professional practices

ergonomic principles for furniture design and manufacture

the elements and principles of design and how they can be used to create good design in the furnishing industry

the industry and detailed knowledge of contemporary products

range of product materials and their characteristics

materials, trims, accessories and their properties and characteristics

costing processes

workplace procedures and reporting process

relevant OHS legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice

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. 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.

Unit scope

Work involves the establishment and application of systematic, fair and balanced processes to determine the production feasibility of a design.

Activities may include:

researching design trends and developments

generating and presenting ideas

liaison with client and/or other functional areas

compiling information

preparing costings

Judgement may be required in planning and selecting appropriate processes or procedures for self and others

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual, analytical and organisational ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

Workplace environment

The competency can refer to enterprise and client initiated ideas or requests

The competency may involve applications associated with original design, adaptation of designs or interpretation of sketches, single or multiple production styles and ranges, and made to order

The competency is applied under broad guidance

Information and procedures

Enterprise business plans

Business reports, trade journals, etc.

Product research information covering trends, materials options and market coverage

Organisation work procedures

Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to furnishing and ergonomics

Quality and Australian standards and procedures
