Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSAPCII297A Make an object from cloth using an existing pattern
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to make an object from cloth (such as basic decorative items or clothing) following the requirements of an identified pattern. It may or may not require machinery and does not require complex sewing or finishing or the development of a pattern.
This unit applies to learners seeking practical skills that are relevant and useful to the area in which the learner hopes to gain employment, is currently working, and/or as a pathway to further study.
This unit applies to a learning and assessment environment where access to normal production operations is not available. Typically this will be a VET in Schools delivery environment but it may be another simulated or trial manufacturing environment where a high degree of supervision exists. Students may be on work placement.
The unit should be applied to a specific 'project' or task which has a defined beginning, middle and end, occurs over an extended period of time, and is relevant to the manufacturing industry.
When delivered/assessed as part of a qualification the unit must be customised to ensure its relevance to real or simulated work activities and related workplaces.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
