Unit of Competency | CUESET05B - Apply set construction techniques |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge to apply basic carpentry skills to the construction of sets within any production in the cultural industries. As such it focuses on the particular materials and techniques used to create simple set elements such as flats and treads. A person working under supervision would generally undertake this role. Skills working with hand and power tools would be required to complete this unit.This unit describes the skills and knowledge to apply basic carpentry skills to the construction of sets within any production in the cultural industries.

Evidence Required
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.
Underpinning skills and knowledge
Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills:
terminology used in set construction, including types of scenery, joints and fixing systems
stage geography terminology
particular types of materials used for set construction, rationale for selection of these materials and their properties, applications and durability
particular techniques used in set construction and rationale, including common types of joints and assembly techniques
safety issues associated with the construction of sets, including various fireproofing techniques for different materials
format and meaning of technical drawings used to inform set construction
organisational and legislative Occupational Health and Safety requirements, in particular with regard to safe manual handling techniques and working with hazardous substances
literacy skills sufficient to interpret safety instructions
numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and take measurements.
Linkages to other units
This unit has linkages with a range of other general building and construction units and set construction units. It is strongly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units:
BCGBM1005B - Carry out measurements and calculations or equivalent unit
MEM18.1AB - Use hand tools
Critical aspects of evidence
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
understanding of the properties, applications and durability of different types of materials that can be used to make set elements
correct and safe use of techniques to construct simple set elements.
Method and context of assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through construction of set elements on more than one occasion
completion of set construction tasks within realistic workplace timeframes.
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
direct observation of the candidate using techniques to construct set elements
evaluation of items constructed by the candidate in terms of quality finishing and appropriate structural soundness
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of set construction and stage geography terminology
portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Resource requirements
Assessment of this unit requires access to:
materials, tools and equipment required to construct simple set elements
a workspace in which construction can take place.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
