Unit of Competency MSFFP2004 - Apply domestic surface coatings
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit specifies the competency required to apply domestic surface coatings by hand using a range of application methods.It is designed for use in a pre-employment skills introduction program and is suitable for use in institutional-based vocational programs. Skills development will take place under direct supervision.This unit is not to be used in a traineeship or apprenticeship training program or associated qualifications. It is only to be used in pre-employment programs and carries no credit towards apprenticeship/trade and other qualification types in manufacturing and furnishings.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.

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency in applying domestic surface coatings at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

Assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic workplace situations.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant procedures, product and manufacturing specifications.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
