Access and interpret product information to determine limitations and benefits of different methods used in the construction and installation of cabinets and the implications for design
Determine the impact of site conditions and limitations on cabinet design and features
Identify cabinet construction and assembly techniques and installation methods for a range of fabrication and installation jobs
Identify requirements for sourcing and ordering cabinets and components to meet design specifications and and installation methods to be used including timelines for completion and delivery processes
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
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
Techniques used for the construction and installation of cabinets, including CNC, CAM and custom manufacture principles and processes
Features of cabinets and components used in kitchen and bathroom projects
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to kitchen and bathroom cabinets and components
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Information resources
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 work-related information resources.
