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 | Assess project | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to researching and recommending lighting design are verified and complied with |
| | 1.2 | Project brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with client |
| | 1.3 | Parameters for the project are assessed and confirmed |
| | 1.4 | Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness |
| | 1.5 | Communication with others is established and maintained |
2 | Assess current light sources | 2.1 | Site analysis is conducted to assess the natural light and artificial light sources |
| | 2.2 | Project plans and drawings and site documents are analysed to determine current and potential influences on light source |
| | 2.3 | Factors for consideration are analysed with regards to their impact on lighting |
| | 2.4 | Environmental sustainability of design is assessed in terms of lighting |
| | 2.5 | Design is analysed to determine requirements for achieving desired lighting effects |
3 | Design lighting for interior project | 3.1 | Research is conducted to determine cost and energy efficient lighting options to meet the requirements of the integrated design solution |
| | 3.2 | Light fittings and light control devices and their locations are selected and specified on design documentation |
| | 3.3 | Structural design features are reviewed in terms of effect on lighting and specifications determined to support the overall design solution |
| | 3.4 | Non-structural design features are reviewed in terms of effect on lighting and potential improvements identified |
| | 3.5 | Special effects are selected and specified for design |
| | 3.6 | Electrician is consulted to confirm potential complications with changes to lighting design, estimate costing and determine wiring requirements to implement lighting schedule |
| | 3.7 | Lighting design is assessed for conformance to industry standards and regulations |
4 | Draw and present lighting design | 4.1 | Structural and non-structural design features required to achieve lighting effects are documented on design drawings |
| | 4.2 | Work and product schedules are developed |
| | 4.3 | Costing is determined and documented |
| | 4.4 | Lighting features are presented to client |
Interpret work orders and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Assess light for its environmental impact and ability to meet lighting design requirements and provide clients with cost-effective and efficient lighting solutions
Apply design elements and principles in recommending light design and provide documented lighting layout and schedule
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area/volume and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, presentation of design/colour concepts, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
Use computer operations for internet searches and CAD operations
Analyse light fitting performance characteristics
Initiate new ideas and work techniques
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 assessing interior light and recommending light design
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures
Australian lighting standards and drawing conventions
Research sources for lighting
Ergonomics, anthropometrics, proxemics and aesthetic values
Natural light characteristics and controls
Artificial light characteristics and controls
Structural influences on lighting
Design themes and design development
Sketching and drawing techniques
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
Relevant problem identification and resolution 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 materials, equipment and specifications relevant to designing interior lighting.
