Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify products, fittings and attachments to be used
- 1.1. Type of motorised curtain or blind to be installed is identified from work order
- 1.2. Required materials and tools are identified from work instructions and (where necessary) site inspection
- 1.3. Location of available power point is checked for suitability
- 1.4. Installation of power point in suitable location is arranged (if required)
2. Plan process for fitting
- 2.1. OHS requirements, including ergonomic criteria and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
- 2.2. Appropriate equipment is identified to minimise risks of damage to customers' premises or injuries to self
- 2.3. Manufacturers' information on products used is located and used to plan work
- 2.4. Attachment process is planned to conform to quality requirements, minimise time, economically use materials and maximise appearance of the finished work
- 2.5. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
3. Complete fitting operations
- 3.1. Work plan is followed ensuring compliance with workplace procedures and OH&S requirements
- 3.2. Tracks or blinds are installed and tested for correct operation
- 3.3. Curtains are attached to tracks and checked for smooth and even operation and hanging, including limits

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
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials
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
Install at least two different types of motorised curtains or blinds, including at least one curtain and one blind
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Motors, curtains, tracks, tools and equipment, appropriate quality specifications and 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.
