Elements and performance criteria
Element 1
Identify the process for assessing quantities of materials used in boatbuilding.
Range
materials may include but are not limited to – metals, resins, reinforcements,
paints, plywood, lumber, wire, fluids.
Performance criteria
1.1
Type of calculation required is identified in terms of area and/or volume of hull
form, decks and tank approximations, and materials used.
Range
1.2
Boatbuilding terminology is explained in terms of design.
Range
1.3
calculations include but are not limited to – mechanical advantage
and friction, simple naval architectural calculations (centre of
buoyancy, centre of effort), international tonnage measurement
(gross registered tonnes), displacement.
terminology includes but is not limited to – mechanical advantage
and friction, displacement (light, half load, heavy).
The process for assessing quantities of materials used in boatbuilding is
described in terms of calculating the area, volume, weight and thickness for the
required medium.
Element 2
Calculate costs for boatbuilding projects.
Performance criteria
2.1
Written scope includes materials required to meet project requirements.
2.2
All resources required are listed clearly and accurately.
Range
2.3
resources may include but are not limited to – metals, resins,
reinforcements, paints, plywood, lumber, wire, fluids, labour;
evidence of two boatbuilding projects is required.
Terms used in costing are explained in terms of labour costs and material costs.
Range
labour costs include but are not limited to – direct payroll cost,
overhead, margin, charge out rates, subcontract rates;
material costs include but are not limited to – fixed price, cost plus,
gst, freight, impact of exchange rates on costing.

2.4
The impact of changing individual components is described in terms of the
effect on project costs.
2.5
Project costs are calculated and documented according to worksite procedures.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
