Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1 - New unit of competency

Application

This unit of competency covers extending, developing and resolving complex spatial design problems to develop and refine a conceptual model and inform design work through experimentation with a range of spatial modelling techniques. It includes managing and organising resource requirements for new work and realising a fully resolved interior scheme through modelling.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1 - New unit of competency

Performance Evidence

  • Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
  • minimise the risk of injury to self or others
  • prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
  • maintain required production output and product quality
  • Use, apply and experiment with modelling techniques to explore a design solution and apply individual creativity to modelling
  • Fully resolve a final design solution using modelling techniques effectively applying design elements and principles to models
  • Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, make calculations, estimate material requirements and cost work

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 must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
  • 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, equipment and specifications relevant to resolving complex spatial design problems through modelling.
