Costume makers apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. They could be working in a range of contexts - from large commercial productions in the entertainment and screen industries to amateur theatre.
This unit has linkages to a range of other costume and design units and combined assessment and/or training with those units may be appropriate, e.g.:
CUECOS11B Make character costumes
As this unit requires drawing skills it is recommended that it be assessed with or after the following unit:
CUVCOR07A Use drawing techniques to represent the object or idea.
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create costume accessories for any production within the cultural industries. It involves the creation of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) objects constructed from materials other than fabric.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: ability to use a range of construction techniques to produce 2D and 3D products for use as accessories knowledge of materials and techniques typically used in the construction of different types of accessories. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the production of hard and soft sculptured accessories for a production. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: evaluation of accessories created by the candidate in relation to creative and production quality oral questioning/interview aimed at evaluating the processes used in developing accessory specifications evaluation of sketches, drawings or specifications developed by the candidate third party reports and portfolios of evidence. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: costume designs from which the candidate can develop specifications and undertake construction equipment, tools and materials used for construction of 2D and 3D objects. |
