Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Element	Performance Criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide.

Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan woodworking through exploration	1.1 Explore ideas and techniques for the creation of wood objects in consultation with key people as required 1.2 Review historical and contemporary woodworking practice as a potential source of ideas 1.3 Clarify ideas for woodworking based on exploration and discussion 1.4 Assess the capabilities of woodworking techniques through practice and adaptation 1.5 Select techniques that best support the ideas for the work
2. Prepare, maintain and store woodworking resources	2.1 Select and organise woodworking tools, equipment and materials suited to the chosen work 2.2 Prepare and maintain resources based on the needs of the work 2.3 Take responsibility for the safe and sustainable use of resources 2.4 Store resources according to the needs of different items
3. Create finished wood objects	3.1 Safely use and adapt woodworking techniques to create desired effects 3.2 Review work in progress and make adjustments as required to produce final work 3.3 Add value to the current work process and future work by documenting the work progress 3.4 Liaise with others to obtain feedback on work in terms of its technical proficiency and success in communicating ideas

Required Skills and Knowledge

This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit.

Required skills

communication skills to discuss ideas for wood items with others

learning skills to:

improve techniques to produce wood objects through practice and some experimentation

respond constructively to feedback

literacy skills to interpret information about historical and contemporary wood practice

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to organise resources required to produce wood objects

self-management skills to take responsibility for the process of creating work.

Required knowledge

ways of exploring techniques and materials to achieve different effects in woodworking

physical properties and capabilities of a range of materials, tools and equipment used in woodworking

work space requirements for woodworking, including ways of organising and maintaining space

cleaning, maintenance and storage procedures for woodworking tools, materials and equipment

historical and theoretical contexts for woodworking

elements and principles of design and their particular application to woodwork

intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work

sustainability considerations associated with the use of woodworking tools, materials and equipment

OHS procedures that apply to woodworking.

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the ability to: produce multiple wood objects or a single major work that show some technical proficiency in chosen techniques work with ideas and techniques and bring them together in finished work adapt the capabilities of woodworking techniques and resources.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure access to: tools, equipment and materials used to produce wood objects.
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: evaluation of technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate direct observation of woodworking in progress questioning and discussion of the candidate’s intentions and work review of portfolios of evidence review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: CUVPRP301A Produce creative work.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Ideas may be influenced by:	current capability with techniques historical and theoretical contexts subject matter or theme for the work, such as: built environment land and place natural world political, cultural and social issues the body spiritual concerns.
Techniques may include:	assemblage carving combining with other materials – synthetic and natural jig making laminating timber and timber products making mock-ups and prototyping model making steam bending timber preparation wood finishing wood turning wooden tool modification and/or making.
Wood objects may include:	carved panels: carved vessels low or high relief furniture, such as: chairs lamps tables implements, such as: cutlery letter openers jewellery other functional items, such as: boxes clocks trays walking sticks sculpture simple musical instruments turned tableware.
Key people may include:	mentors other artists peers supervisors teachers.
Strategies used to assess the capabilities of techniques may involve:	experimenting directly with work in progress producing test pieces or samples systematically testing a range of processes.
Tools and equipment may include:	fastening and fitting tools fixed equipment hand tools marking-out devices measuring devices portable equipment power tools protective equipment specialised items for: branding carving engraving shaping trimming wood turning.
Materials may include:	found objects and materials other materials that support work: leather metals stone oxidising agents and other patina agents finishing materials: lacquers paints sandpapers stains assembling, joining or binding materials: other fibres rope string thread wire wood wood products.
Needs of the work may relate to:	availability of different resources budget creative goals preparation time process-specific requirements recycling safety sustainability.
