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
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
plan the fabrication and installation of insect and security screens
interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to fabricate and install insect and security screens
apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective 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 product quality
as a minimum:
measure for security windows and doors
identify and select product materials used within the industry/workplace
fabricate frame and components, including optimisation of materials, cutting, tooling, drilling and/or crimping to ensure compliance to Australian Standards
identify, select and install component hardware, including wheels, hinges, guides and locks
assemble frames and/or grills to comply with Australian Standard requirements
calculate the cost of security screens and doors
work effectively with others.
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 off-site context.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements.
The following resources should be made available:
aluminium or other framing material
aluminium or other sheeting
fittings, fixing and fasteners
workplace operating procedures
personal protective equipment
an appropriate work area.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 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.
