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.
Critical aspects of evidence
Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Select and make up appropriate timber frame
Select and attach appropriate padding, fabric and trims
Construct at least three different types of padded pelmets
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 production output and product quality
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Pelmets, padding materials, tools and equipment, appropriate quality specifications and work instructions.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
