List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Plan for presentation of design information | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to producing design development sketches and drawings are verified and complied with |
1.2 | Design brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with appropriate personnel |
1.3 | Type and quantity of concepts to be presented are assessed from the design brief |
1.4 | Presentation equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in accordance with manufacturer recommendations |
1.5 | Communication with others is established and maintained in accordance with WHS requirements |
2 | Present design information | 2.1 | Concept sketches are presented as solutions to the design brief and for the audience |
2.2 | Sketches are represented as ideation drawings and presented using presentation boards and portfolios |
2.3 | Freehand development drawings are incorporated into the presentation to represent the construction and joints |
2.4 | Working drawings are presented to represent final measurements and specifications |
2.5 | Concepts and their elements of design are promoted, explained and evaluated for the audience |
2.6 | Concepts and their principles of design are promoted, explained and evaluated for the audience |
2.7 | Presentation of design information is made using multimedia and computer-based strategies |
3 | Present manufacturing information | 3.1 | Maquettes of concepts are presented for discussion and viewing |
3.2 | Prototypes or samples are presented for viewing and aesthetic value |
3.3 | Sample joints or joining techniques are presented to support the design theory |
3.4 | Alternative manufacturing techniques are presented and promoted |
3.5 | Material options are presented and promoted |
3.6 | Assembly and finishing techniques and processes are presented and promoted |
3.7 | Concept manufacturing process is evaluated and presented using multimedia and computer-based strategies |
Collect, organise and understand information related to furnishing work instructions and work orders and safety procedures
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Prepare and present design information in accordance with the concepts and design brief to a prospective client interested in buying a design for manufacturing purposes, and effectively apply design elements and principles to the presentation
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Lead others and work effectively to improve production quality and outcomes
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Use workplace technology related to the coordination, including communication equipment, time and management aids and other measuring devices
Minimise wastage of resources, including materials, time and money
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity and encourage participation of employees in the planning of work activities and changes
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to preparing and presenting design information
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for preparing and presenting design information
Environmental protection requirements
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution techniques
Elements and principles of design
Ergonomics and aesthetic values
Types of tools and equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Set-up and operation of equipment
Relevant computer programs
Presentation techniques and equipment
Product assembly techniques
Sketching and drawing techniques
Storage systems and labelling
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to materials, equipment and design specifications relevant to preparing and presenting design information.
