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. |

| | 1.2 | Work requirements in the form of type of leadlight and stained glass, frames and the method of fixing are identified, confirmed and clarified with appropriate personnel |
| | 1.3 | The process for preparing and installing architecturally engineered leadlight and stained glass is identified |
2 | Prepare for installation | 2.1 | Work sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job |
| | 2.2 | Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition |
| | 2.3 | Components of the leadlight and stained glass are checked against specifications or job order |
| | 2.4 | Leadlight and stained glass fixing method is selected |
| | 2.5 | Frame or opening is prepared to receive leadlight and stained glass |
| | 2.6 | Fixing and sealing materials are prepared by mixing or cutting to length, as appropriate |
3 | Identify site conditions and constraints | 3.1 | Site safety hazards are recognised and corrective action taken to reduce risk of injury to self and others |
| 3.2 | On-site difficulties are identified and addressed in accordance with regulations and enterprise agreements |
| | 3.3 | Special characteristics of the leadlight and stained glass aperture are identified in relation to the effect of the fitting process on the finished job |
| | 3.4 | Covering material is applied, where necessary, to protect existing fixtures and fittings |
4 | Fit leadlight and stained glass | 4.1 | Leadlight and stained glass is fixed to the frame or opening using the selected method |
| | 4.2 | Solvents and sealants are applied |
| | 4.3 | Leadlight and stained glass and/or frame are cleaned after fixing |
5 | Finalise the installation | 5.1 | Completed installation is checked to ensure compliance |
| | 5.2 | Waste and scrap material are removed for disposal or recycling, as required |
| | 5.3 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate |
| | 5.4 | Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned, removed and stored appropriately |
| | 5.5 | Workplace records are maintained according to 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 structural leadlight and stained glass, their properties, uses and limitations
Assess the likely impact of various environmental effects on architectural leadlight and stained glass
Prepare and install at least one architecturally engineered leadlight and stained glass component that can be a curtain wall/panel, suspended panel or a balustrade
Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for structural leadlight and stained glass
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
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for leadlight and stained glass operations
Architectural leadlight and stained glass construction terminology and techniques
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for preparation and installation of architectural leadlight and stained glass
Types of glass and other materials used in the leadlight and stained glass industry, their characteristics, properties, uses and limitations
Environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Storage systems and labelling
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
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 a location, materials, equipment and specifications relevant to installing structural leadlight and stained glass.
