Practical Demonstration Checklist

Your trainer may ask you to keep a log book or diary of the work you do on-the-job that relates to the practical components of this unit. This will help them to determine when you've had sufficient hands-on practice in these tasks to undertake the assessment events.

Set out below are the basic performance requirements for each of the competencies covered in this Learner guide. For each performance, you will be asked to demonstrate the following aspects of the installation process:

• preparation and inspection of the floor prior to applying the coating system
  
  
• selection of the correct coating system, tools and other materials
  
  
• application of the coating system, together with any intermediate steps, such as sanding and cleaning the floor in between coats
  
  
• cleaning up of tools, correct disposal of waste materials, removal of barriers, completion of paperwork
  
  
• inspection of the floor once the project has been completed.
  
  

The tools and equipment you'll need to use in the demonstrations include:

• orbital sander, rotary sander and hand sander
  
  
• vacuum cleaner
  
  
• brushes, applicators, rollers and roller tray
  
  
• hammer, nail punch and spatula

Make sure you talk to your trainer or supervisor about any of the details you don't understand, or aren't ready to demonstrate, before the assessment events are organised. This will give you time to get the hang of the tasks you'll need to perform, so that you'll feel more confident when the time comes to be assessed.
