Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of 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

producing storyboard or sketches to demonstrate design ideas and developing design concept

developing a pattern to suit design and size requirements

selecting and preparing fabric, materials, tools and equipment

using a machine to produce at least two (2) simple garments, using the same or different, fabrics, patterns or blocks

producing simple garments to meet identified pattern and size requirements

rectifying garment faults and finishing garment to meet design requirements

identifying improvements in garment production techniques for future production

cleaning work area and storing materials, tools and equipment.

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

components of the design process:

sketches

pictures

storyboard

fabric samples

sharing and reviewing ideas

techniques to modify blocks and patterns

techniques in using a sewing machine and overlocker

sizing requirements

materials for simple garment:

fabric

thread

buttons

characteristics of fabrics affecting fabric suitability

typical fault conditions and related fault-finding procedures:

holes

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 designing and producing a simple garment, 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.
