Unit of Competency MSFBA3012 - Assemble interior blinds
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare and assemble a range of interior blinds according to job requirements. The unit involves planning job requirements, identifying required products and components to be assembled and their measurements and applying workplace procedures to ensure safe and correct assembly. The unit does not involve installing the blinds.The unit applies to those assembling any blind for interior residential and commercial environments. The style of blinds to be assembled include aluminium, plastic or timber Venetian blinds; Roman blinds; roll-up and pull-down blinds; and vertical-style blinds. The blinds may be intended for installation in a range of openings, including windows, fixed and sliding doors, and building entrances. The unit does not apply to assembling wood-weave style blinds.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must occur in the workplace, or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions and contingencies.

Access is required to tools, materials, equipment and specifications for the assembly described in the performance evidence above, including:

blinds specified in the performance evidence

PPE applicable to job requirements

WHS documentation specific to the assembly

tools and equipment specified in the knowledge evidence

workplace documentation required for each assembly process, including:

work orders

workplace procedures

supplier instructions and manufacturer specifications.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the assessor requirements in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
