Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1 - New unit of competency

Performance Evidence

  • Interpret new and renovation kitchen and bathroom project design project briefs, including establishing the correct sequence of manufacture and installation operations
  • Determine the processes involved in kitchen and bathroom renovation or new manufacture and installation, including the services required from relevant key trades in the kitchen and bathroom industry
  • Determine quality cabinet and other component requirements to meet project design brief outcomes and establish sources of suitable components and services to undertake the work
  • Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
  • Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
  • Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
  • Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

Knowledge Evidence

  • Roles of trades in the kitchen and bathroom industry
  • Roles of other service providers to the kitchen and bathroom industries
  • Planning processes relevant to the kitchen and bathroom industries
  • Processes used for the construction of cabinets

  • 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. Evidence should be demonstrated in identifying processes for meeting at least one (1) new kitchen or bathroom design brief and at least one (1) kitchen or bathroom renovation project.
  • Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, supervisor’s reports, completed kitchen and bathroom projects and related 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 information resources on kitchen and bathroom projects.
