Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


Not applicable.

This unit covers skills and knowledge required to construct flat patterns for millinery using measurements, mathematical calculations and geometry.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Application of the Unit of the Unit

The unit applies to the construction of flat patterns onto paper or cardboard that will result in final patterns for a millinery item. Taken and calculated measurements will be used to construct the patterns. These patterns may be constructed manually or by computer.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising for safe and effective use of millinery pattern making technology and operations. This unit also requires communication skills to take and calculate measurements and complete patternmaking documentation.

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

identify pattern pieces and measurements required for a millinery design

take and calculate measurements

use flat patternmaking and pattern construction methods to develop patterns for millinery

test patterns in toile form

produce accurate final flat patterns that meet design and size requirements

complete pattern specification sheet

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Context and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas, materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

requirements of the design and production of millinery

simple mathematical calculations

simple geometric principles for constructing circles, squares, rectangles and angles

OHS practices including hazard identification and control measures associated with

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skill to:

take accurate measurements on a client, house model, millinery block or mannequin

calculate measurements using set formulae

use patternmaking tools and equipment to construct flat patterns

presenting accurate final patterns for millinery items

use electronic programs and equipment

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Taken measurements may include

head size

ear- to- ear measurements

front-to-back measurements

linear

circular

Calculated measurements may include

radius

circumference

diameter

ratios

division

percentages and fractions

Electronic method refers to

use of computer aided design programs and electronic equipment

Tools and equipment may include

CAD system

square ruler

compass, protractor

tape measure, French curve, mitre ruler, triangles, hole punch, scissors

Millinery flat pattern construction principles may include

circular principles

angular principles

constructing and modifying arcs

square blocking

pivoting

contour sectioning

cut and spread

OHS practices may include

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
