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. Evidence should be demonstrated in identifying processes for meeting at least one (1) new kitchen or bathroom design brief and at least one (1) kitchen or bathroom renovation project.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, supervisor’s reports, completed kitchen and bathroom projects and related 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 information resources on kitchen and bathroom projects.
