• Use tools and equipment
• Set up and start equipment

Knowledge Evidence

• Types, characteristics, uses and limitations of roll-up blind materials
• Identification of equipment, processes and procedures

Assessment Conditions

• 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 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 and equipment relevant to constructing a basic roll-up blind, and documentation on workplace practices, including standard operating procedures for constructing a basic roll-up blind.
