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. |
|
Overview of assessment |
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
|
Context of, and specific resources for assessment |
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace. Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standard requirements. The following resources should be made available:
|
Method of assessment |
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 Furnishing Industry Training Package. Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge. Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application. Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process. Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances. Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency. |
