The painting and decorating qualification requires evidenced knowledge and skills in a wide variety of locations using a broad range of equipment on diverse materials assessed on multiple occasions.As a consequence, students will be required to complete numerous assessment tasks at our Southport campus in specially created simulated environments on specified days. In addition, from time to time, particular assessment tasks will likely be scheduled for evaluation at work-sites, so students will be directed to attend that venue to attempt the tasks on a particular day at a particular time. (See below)
