Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to work orders basic plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with work supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate quantities and estimate material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate finishing problems avoid reworking and damage

use the workplace technology related to the application of gilding techniques to picture frames including tools equipment and finishes

Required knowledge

the techniques and application of gilding

methods characteristics and problems of application

workflow in relation to gilding operations

identification of equipment processes and procedures

understand the effect of this process on the artwork

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

Critical aspects of evidence

Identify gilding to be performed the technique to be used and the means by which this is to be achieved

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment safety and environmental protection equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

As a minimum

determine gilding technique and refurbish an existing gilded frame

using differing techniquesmaterials prepare and gild two new frames

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Gilding equipment work area metallic leaf other finishing materials and frames to be gild finished

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant gilding equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Apply gilding techniques

Compo work

Gilding

Frames

Tools and equipment may include:

Materials may include but are not limited to:

Personal protection equipment
