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
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to glaze/re-glaze simple/complex windows and doors
apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
glaze or re-glaze the following:
timber putty faced window sashes or door panel
timber beaded sidelight, fixed panel, sliding, hinged, pivot and/or bi-fold doors
metal framed channel glazed door or window
metal framed beaded door or window
include the following for each:
calculate glazing clearance and cutting size
cut glass to AS/NZS 4667:2000 Quality requirements for cut-to-size and processed glass
select glazing tools, equipment, glazing sealants, vinyls and tapes
prepare working area
prepare glazing rebates and channels prior to installation
clean glass, tools, equipment and work area
calculate the cost of glass, glazing materials and labour
select re-glazing tools and equipment
hack out/remove beads and glass safely from timber windows and doors
remove and disassemble metal window sashes and doors and remove glass safely
install and/or adjust sash cords, unique, spiral or spring balances on double hung windows
work effectively with others.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace.
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standard requirements.
The following resources should be made available:
frames
glass
fixing material
sealants
workplace operating procedures and work orders
personal protective equipment
an appropriate work area/site.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 Furnishing Industry Training Package.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
