Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSAPCII296A Make a small furniture item from timber
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to make a small timber furniture item in accordance with the requirements of an established design. The unity of competency applies in a simulated or trial manufacturing environment where there is a high degree of direct supervision. The work may or may not involve electrical machinery.
This unit of competency applies to learners seeking practical skills that are relevant and useful to the area in which the learner hopes to gain employment, is currently working, and/or as a pathway to further study.
This unit of competency applies to a learning and assessment environment where access to normal production operations is not available. Typically this will be a VET in Schools delivery environment but it may be another simulated or trial manufacturing environment where a high degree of supervision exists. Students may be on work placement.
The unit of competency should be applied to a specific 'project' or task which has a defined beginning, middle and end, occurs over an extended period of time, and is relevant to the furniture manufacturing industry.
When delivered/assessed as part of a qualification the unit must be customised to ensure its relevance to real or simulated work activities and related workplaces.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
