Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit 

Evidence of the following is essential:

• selects and applies drawing tools and materials to produce working drawings according to the proposed design and client brief
• produces drawings for a visual merchandising project, including orthographic, isometric and axonometric drawings.

Context of and specific resources for assessment 

Assessment must ensure access to:

• a real or simulated retail visual merchandising work environment
• relevant documentation, such as project specification and brief
• drawing equipment and materials.

Method of assessment 

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

• observation of performance in the workplace
• review of working drawings
• simulated client briefs
• client feedback
• answers to questions about specific skills and knowledge
• review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance.

Guidance information for assessment 

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
