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.

It is likely that the practical components of this unit will be assessed while you are undertaking practical demonstration assessments for units relating to laying floors. This will allow your assessor to carry out an integrated assessment of both units at the same time.

While you're demonstrating the hands-on aspects of these tasks, your assessor will be checking that you can:

• follow all work, health and safety requirements and environmental care procedures
  
  
• correctly interpret company documents and work instructions
  
  
• prepare and package floor coverings correctly
  
  
• transport the floor coverings, unload them safety and store them in an appropriate area on-site
  
  
• acclimatise the floor coverings according to the manufacturer's guidelines
  
  
• communicate and work effectively with other workers in the area
  
  
• prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
  
  
• work productively and efficiently
  
  
• modify activities and techniques used to suit different sites and working conditions.
  
  

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.
