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!

Source and assess suitability of products

  1. Products are researched and suitable choices made for potential use
  2. Performance and characteristics of products are evaluated and recorded
  3. Use requirements of the product are analysed for appropriateness to the application
  4. Quality and compliance issues are assessed to ensure the products state manufacturers' specifications for use
  5. Environmental issues are considered in sourcing and selecting products
  6. Sustainability of products is assessed in terms of durability and wear
  7. Manufacturing standards and equipment are reviewed to comply with the chosen materials
  8. Sources or suppliers of products are found and recorded
  9. Costs associated with purchasing and obtaining the products are recorded and reported

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Effectively source and specify decoration products to provide the client with cost effective options which meet the project brief requirements

Effectively apply design elements and principles to the sourcing and specifying of decoration products

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for sourcing and specifying decoration products

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 sourcing and specifying products and finishes

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

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collecting, organising and understanding information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

communicating ideas and information

accurately recording and maintaining information relating to products

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

recognising and responding to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence

using mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and volume, and estimate other material requirements

clarifying and confirming work instructions

planning own work within the given task parameters

accepting responsibility for given tasks

setting, monitoring and satisfying personal work goals

learning of thinking, problem solving and conceptual techniques

maintaining current knowledge of tools and materials

maintaining current knowledge of interior decoration and design techniques

using the workplace technology related to product and finishes specification including calculators, measuring and recording devices, computers

Required knowledge

State or Territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for sourcing and specifying decoration products

organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for sourcing and specifying decoration products

applicable Australian Standards

basic understanding in elements and principles of design

ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values of available product range

characteristics of materials, products and defects

procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information

appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

environmental protection requirements

established communication channels and protocols

problem identification and resolution

workplace information resources on products

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.
