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:

  • identifying a range of traditional and non-traditional materials suitable for the production of millinery
  • interpreting material labels and information and workplace procedures
  • describing the composition, construction and characteristics of millinery materials on at least two occasions
  • identifying suitability of materials to the design, function and cost requirements of millinery items.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

  • the composition of materials and components used in the production of millinery items
  • natural
  • synthetic
  • man-made
  • animal
  • vegetable
  • mineral
  • chemical
  • materials and components suitable for the design and production of millinery items:

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 identifying materials used in millinery, 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.
