(latest NCVER data)Employers in furnishing businesses value staff who have completed MSFFP2018 Source and review information about furnishing product materials because they can compare timber, boards, plastics, metals and fabrics before materials are committed to production. It is a sensible scope choice for RTOs whose pre-employment learners need product knowledge alongside practical skills, and MSFFP2018 learning materials give trainers a structured research framework.
Learners develop skills in identifying material requirements, using multiple reliable information sources, assessing strength, durability, cost, handling, safety and sustainability, recognising common faults and finishing needs and comparing alternatives to guide material choice.
Equip trainers with our MSFFP2018 RTO training materials rather than compiling material comparison tasks from scratch. Purchase RTO materials and give learners MSFFP2018 training materials built around practical research and reporting.
This package of MSFFP2018 RTO learning materials provides a prepared foundation for researching and comparing furnishing product materials. Purchase RTO materials to save preparation time and start with MSFFP2018 training materials that trainers can link to local suppliers and products.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these MSFFP2018 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your MSFFP2018 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
MSFFP2018 Source and review information about furnishing product materials focuses on researching the materials used in furnishing products and applying that knowledge to production needs. It suits people preparing for entry-level furnishing work who need to guide material choices, with kitchen and bathroom materials covered in a separate unit.
The unit addresses five core areas:
Learners gather and interpret information from at least three sources about four materials suited to specific furnishing production tasks. For each material, they report on physical properties, cost, handling, safety, sustainability and benefits and limitations against alternatives.
Yes. The editable files let your team focus examples on the sectors you deliver, such as furniture making, upholstery, flooring or blinds and awnings, where contextualisation is permitted.
Not necessarily. This is a research and reporting unit, so learners mainly need supplier information, technical data sheets and other reliable sources rather than production machinery.
Yes. The unit is usually delivered in pre-employment programs, and the Learner Guide and Self-Study Guide introduce material terminology and trade names in an accessible way.
No. The materials are developed as compliant learning resources with current training package requirements in mind. Your RTO should still validate the MSFFP2018 training resources against its own training and assessment strategy.
