Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine requirements for cabinet components
   • Identify and access information resources for cabinet components to inform installation
   • Identify features of components and verify suitability to application
   • Identify and prepare tools and equipment required for applying components
   • Check cabinets to ensure markings and holes required for components are correctly located
2. Install cabinets
   • Interpret designs or plans to determine cabinet installation requirements
   • Confirm cabinet markings to ensure accurate installation
   • Conduct measurements to confirm fit
   • Install cabinets according to plans and specifications
   • Accommodate appliance installation requirements and service features in installation
   • Fix components according to cabinet requirements
   • Use hand and power tools safely and efficiently
   • Clean work area and dispose of rubbish according to environmental standards
3. Check quality finish
   • Conduct measurements to ensure cabinet is square and level
   • Measure edges and lines to ensure fit is level, straight and flush
   • Check doors, drawers, runners, handles and latches for correct alignment
   • Check tolerances meet standard requirements
   • Complete workplace documentation

Required Skills

Required skills

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Access and apply information on installation requirements of cabinet components Interpret installation requirements Apply problem solving techniques to determine and address installation techniques or issues Complete range of operations to install cabinets Use hand and power tools safely and efficiently Conduct quality checks
Context of and specific resources for assessment	The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge other than confirmatory questions will usually be conducted in an offsite context Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available workplace location or simulated workplace tools required for measurement and completing installation plans drawings and manuals relating to cabinet installation
Method of assessment	Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application Assessment may be applied under project related conditions real or simulated and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
