List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Establish work requirements and prepare for work | 1.1 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, legislative requirements and workplace practices are observed throughout the work |
1.2 | Personal protective equipment is selected and used |
1.3 | Tools and equipment are selected and checked for safe operation |
1.4 | Work order requirements are checked and confirmed |
2 | Fabricate framework | 2.1 | Material and hardware are selected and checked against work order |
2.2 | Frame is fabricated according to work instructions |

2.4 | Measurements are checked against work order |
3 | Assemble framework | 3.1 | Frame is assembled according to manufacturer instructions and workplace practices |
3.2 | Frame is braced and finished according to work order and workplace practices |
3.3 | Splines for attaching cloth are cut |
4 | Apply quality checks | 4.1 | Completed framework is checked ensuring finished product matches work order |
4.2 | Completed framework is tested to ensure correct and safe operation and parts of the work that do not comply with work order are repaired or re-worked |
5 | Complete work | 5.1 | Finished work is cleaned, packaged and stored following workplace practices |
5.2 | Tools and equipment are cleaned, maintained and stored |
5.3 | Faulty tools and equipment are reported to appropriate personnel |

5.5 | Workplace documentation is completed |
Interpret work order, locate materials and use information to complete tasks in constructing framework for canopy-style awnings
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 framework for canopy-style awnings
Select, set up and maintain equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace practices
Construct a minimum of two (2) frameworks for canopy-style awnings. Task is to include selecting tools, equipment and materials; fabricating and/or assembling to framework; finishing the framework; applying quality checks; packaging and storing framework; maintaining and storing tools and equipment; cleaning work area; and completing workplace documentation, such as reporting material faults, damaged products or equipment
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for constructing canopy-style awning frames
Organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for constructing framework for canopy-style awnings
Environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material
Established lines of communications and workplace protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Types of tools and equipment used in constructing frameworks for canopy-style awnings and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of aluminium and steel used in constructing framework for canopy-style awnings
Cutting patterns and sequences
Cutting tool condition including sharpness, straightness and suitability for task
Industry standards for framing steel and aluminium
Storage systems and labelling
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information

Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or it successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to a location relevant to constructing framework for canopy-style awnings; and workplace practices, including standard operating procedures and work instructions for constructing canopy-style awnings.
