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
• applying relevant standards
• preparing work area, materials and equipment, and specifications for sequence of operations
• checking garment or article against specifications to ensure correct sizing and attention to loose threads, and missing buttons and attachments on at least two (2) occasions
• attaching correct components to at least two (2) garments and articles
• completing finishing operations
• ensuring finished garment meets specifications
• identifying and reporting faults, and returning to appropriate section for repair according to quality standards
• completing production and other 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
• characteristics of typical fabrics and other materials used in garment production
• quality standards and practices
• correct sequencing of components
• required finishing procedures
• industry and product processes and equipment
• 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 finishing garment production, 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.
