Resource implications |
Framing materials requiring repair, tools and equipment for repair, consumables for filling and finishing, work practices and an appropriate work area. |
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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role. |
Context of assessment |
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant frame moulding cutting machines/devices, framing materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
