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 | Prepare for work | 1.1 | The composition and finish of damaged framing materials is identified and viability/feasibility of effecting repair determined |
| | 1.2 | Repairs to be effected are identified from work/job instructions or as a result of inspection of framing materials |
| | 1.3 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work |
| | 1.4 | Repair requirements and procedures are identified from drawings/specifications and workplace procedures |
| | 1.5 | Work sequence is planned to suit the job |
| | 1.6 | Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work in terms of quality, serviceability and safety |
2 | Repair framing materials | 2.1 | Fillers and abrasive agents are used to remove/fill holes and other blemishes in materials |
| | 2.2 | Other defects are repaired in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 2.3 | Colours are matched to suit existing finish of materials |
| | 2.4 | Finishes are applied to materials in accordance with workplace procedures |
| | 2.5 | Problems occurring during repairs are identified and reported to appropriate persons |
| | 2.6 | Repaired material is inspected to ensure best possible match to existing finish and either stored, returned for further repair or scrapped in accordance with workplace procedures |
3 | Complete work | 3.1 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of as appropriate |
| | 3.2 | Workplace documentation is completed as required |
| | 3.3 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and stored following workplace procedures |
Interpret work order 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
Identify the finish and effect the repair of at least five (5) different damaged items of picture framing materials
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
Type, characteristics, uses and limitations of framing materials
The nature of defects in the finish of framing materials and their method of repair
Types, uses and operation of tools and equipment
Finishes to framing materials and colour matching
Workplace safety system requirements related to repairing finishes to framing materials
Work flow in relation to repair of framing material finishes
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 framing materials requiring repair and consumables for filling and finishing.
