Release 1

This version first released with BSB Business Services Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • research information on colour and colour theory to inform work
  • experiment with different colours and techniques to communicate a concept or idea
  • review completed work and present and store samples for future reference.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • explain colour attributes and colour relationships
  • describe and interpret different colour theories and their applications in different contexts
  • describe individual interpretation and choice in relation to the use of colour, and the potential limitations of theory
  • identify different materials, tools and equipment required to experiment with colour
  • describe ways other practitioners use colour in their work.

Assessment Conditions

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the design process field of work and include access to:

  • office equipment and resources
  • materials, resources and equipment needed to apply colour in the relevant work context.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
