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 | Use data system and information for work role | 1.1 | Applicable specialist software for data and workplace information needs is identified and its application to work role determined |
| | 1.2 | Data which needs to be entered in the system is accessed and confirmed as accurate |
| | 1.3 | Data system is opened and operator logged on for the work |
2 | Enter and manipulate data | 2.1 | Data/information is entered in to the system and the system navigated, as required |
| | 2.2 | Entered or edited data is checked for accuracy |
| | 2.3 | Features of the system are used effectively in the manipulation, processing and presentation of data |
| | 2.4 | Data is transferred between applications, linking and embedding related data files, as required |
3 | Generate reports | 3.1 | Processed data is generated in the correct format |
| | 3.2 | Generated reports and other documentation are checked for accuracy and completeness of information |
| | 3.3 | Any data or processing errors are identified and corrected before completion |
4 | Save data and exit system | 4.1 | Data is saved and stored in appropriate directory or folder in accordance with organisational procedures |
| | 4.2 | File is closed and application exited without loss of data |
| | 4.3 | Reports and other data are backed-up in accordance with organisational procedures |
5 | Respond to problems with the system | 5.1 | Faults that occur during data entry, processing and outputting are recognised |
| | 5.2 | Causes of data processing faults are identified and appropriate action taken |
| | 5.3 | Problems are logged and reported as required and in accordance with organisational procedures |
Use at least three (3) glass and glazing computer applications employing advanced features and import and export capacities for generating:
glass designs, including compliance with AS 1288:2006 Glass in buildings - Selection and installation, and WERS
production and delivery schedule reports
job estimates and quotations
inventory and sales reports
Use the data system correctly and recognise and resolve problems, including the ability to:
input and access data to and from the system
evaluate the scope and range of data required from the system, in order to support the solution of problems
identify the causes and remedies of common problems
follow principles of operation of the equipment and software, hazard policies and procedures and work instructions
Isolate causes of problems to a component of the data system and distinguish between causes of problems, such as:
incorrect or misleading data
system software faults
system equipment faults
Complete reports and documents to the standard required
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
Glass industry software vendor applications and their features
Computer equipment features and operation
Principles of operation of glass processing plant/equipment
Glass installation processes
Glass product specifications and tolerances
Glass industry standards and codes of practice
Stock control and delivery scheduling techniques

Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its 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 computers and software applications currently used in the glass and glazing industry, documents or information containing data suitable to demonstrate advanced features of computer applications, and support resources, including online, manuals and training booklets.
