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 | Identify appropriate measurements and equipment | 1.1 | Appropriate measuring equipment for the task is selected |
| 1.2 | Measuring units to be used, and the detail required, is identified from work documents |
| | 1.3 | Measuring equipment condition and calibration is checked to confirm it is fit for purpose |
2 | Perform measurements | 2.1 | Range of results that may be obtained is estimated |
| | 2.2 | Relevant external factors affecting measurement accuracy are identified and taken account of |
| | 2.3 | Measurements are performed using appropriate techniques |
| | 2.4 | Measurements are compared against the range of expected results |
| | 2.5 | Numerical information is checked for accuracy and correctness |
3 | Perform calculations | 3.1 | Measurement data to be used for calculations is identified from work instructions |
| | 3.2 | Appropriate calculation methods and techniques and tools are determined |
| | 3.3 | Calculations are carried out and results checked and confirmed as accurate |
| | 3.4 | Material quantities are estimated using relevant standard packaging units |
4 | Record measurements and calculations as required | 4.1 | Measuring and calculation results are accurately recorded in the appropriate format |
| 4.2 | Results are recorded to the required level of detail |
5 | Recognise routine and non-routine problems | 5.1 | Known faults that can occur during measurement activity are recognised |
| | 5.2 | Necessary action on causes of routine faults is identified and taken |
| | 5.3 | Any problems are logged as required |
| | 5.4 | Non-routine problems are identified and reported to designated person |
Interpret work documents correctly
Plan and organise activities, including selecting and checking appropriate measuring equipment
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate material quantities and spatial size
Use a range of measuring, calculating and recording devices
Record results accurately
Perform calculations accurately and check results
Work from specific project plans or briefs, determine and cost the material quantities for a minimum of three (3) different furnishing projects
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Purpose and techniques for using measuring and calculating equipment
Mathematical principles for making basic calculations
Work documentation for instructions and recording
Requirements for minimising damage to materials and completed products while undertaking measurement
Requirements of working with others in a team
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 relevant measuring, calculating and recording equipment, quality standards and enterprise procedures.
