Synoptic practical assignment: A timed, multi element project where you produce doors, windows, frames, or mouldings to specification, sequencing operations and meeting quality standards and deadlines. 

Portfolio of evidence: Drawings, cutting lists, templates and jigs, risk assessments and method statements, photographs, and quality inspection records mapped to the qualification outcomes. 

Professional discussion and questioning: Targeted questions to confirm understanding, problem solving, and rationale for method and tool selection. 

Ongoing skills reviews: Regular feedback on accuracy, finish quality, productivity, housekeeping, tool care, and compliance with health, safety, and environmental requirements.
