Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1 - New unit of competency
Application
This unit of competency covers specifying interior decoration solutions for restoration projects, including analysing the project brief, conducting research and developing solutions for the decoration of interiors, according to the conservation and heritage requirements of the building style and era.
It does not cover skills required for interior designs that require changes to established structural aspects of the building or to building services.
Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking interior decoration and design work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
