EVIDENCE GUIDE
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
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to examine and assess architectural hardware and/or keying requirements as required in preparation of a brief for client.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Critical aspects of assessment and evidence include:
identifying site requirements through inspection, discussion with clients and identification of relevant legislation, codes, and standards
accurately identifying door and frame locations, existing architectural hardware, current or future client use patterns and environmental considerations
ability to match architectural hardware products and systems to a client brief or specification and make recommendations, including alternative options
preparation of keying schedules that match to security, access, and current and future use requirements of client.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.It should also be understood that not always will a keying brief be necassary but should form part of the assessment process.
Method of assessment
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
Guidance information for assessment
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with assessing technical security requirements, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
