Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTFP4001A Develop design for custom made footwear

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

  • reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices and other reference material
  • applying relevant standards
  • communicating with client to determine footwear requirements
  • exploring design concepts
  • using sketches, pictures, software tools or sample shoes to determine at least three (3) design concepts
  • taking accurate measurements and performing foot analysis to assess requirements
  • conducting trial fit according to workplace procedures
  • calculating cost estimates
  • developing final design specifications for at least three (3) examples of custom-made footwear
  • applying work health and safety (WHS) policies in work operations
  • maintaining accurate records.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • relevant Australian Standards
  • elements and principles of design
  • design tools
  • footwear construction
  • materials used in footwear production
  • specification requirements and costing procedures
  • WHS and environmental aspects of relevant workplace activities
  • foot measurement and gait analysis techniques
  • workplace procedures and reporting processes
  • quality practices
  • workplace procedures
  • recording and reporting practices.

Assessment Conditions

  • Assessors must:
  • satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
  • have vocational competency in developing designs for custom-made footwear, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
  • Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
  • Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
  • Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
