Make an object from cloth using an existing pattern
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to a learning and assessment environment where access to normal production operations is not available . A typical environment will be for application in a VET in Schools delivery environment or other simulated or trial manufacturing environment where a high degree of supervision exists.
The unit applies to the construction of a cloth item that does not require complex sewing or finishing or the development of a pattern. Typical items include tablecloths, hats, towels, cushions, BBQ covers, place mats, cloth bags, scarves, wall hangings, external awnings, and cloth pencil or tool cases.
The unit should be regarded as an integrating unit which has application in Certificate I and II qualifications that act as general introductory qualifications to manufacturing industry. It should be applied to a specific 'project' or task which has a defined beginning, middle and end, occurs over an extended period of time, and is reflective of clothing manufacturing industry and/or organisation.
When delivered and assessed as part of a qualification the unit should be customised to ensure its relevance to a real or simulated work activity and related workplaces and must be delivered and assessed over a period of time.
This unit of competency has been primarily developed for use in a simulated or trial manufacturing environment where there is a high degree of direct supervision.
It covers the skills required to make an object from cloth (such as basic decorative items or clothing) following the requirements of an identified pattern. It may or may not require machinery.
The elements of this unit should always be assessed in conjunction with other units that relate to the requirements of a specified work or job function
Training and assessment against this competency unit must incorporate all relevant OHS and related legislative requirements.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
What critical aspects of evidence are required to demonstrate competency in this unit? | identify appropriate materials for use in making cloth items, and any special sewing or handling requirements for those materials. apply safe operating and handling practices for equipment, products and materials. interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information. use patterns select and use tools and equipment appropriate to the task. follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: prevent damage to goods, equipment or products maintain required production output and product quality minimise the risk of injury to self or others. work effectively with others. modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment. report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment. Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: follow workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control use relevant personal protective clothing and equipment communicate effectively with others as required when following safety procedures Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts Consistently applies required knowledge and skills when completing workplace hazard prevention tasks and following relevant procedures: Consistently shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures, policies, instructions and regulations, including: OHS regulations and hazard prevention policies and procedures relevant manufacturer's guidelines relating to the operation and use of equipment Action is taken promptly to report and/or rectify any safety incidents in accordance with workplace procedures Recognises and adapts appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions among staff and others Work is completed systematically with required attention to detail without damage to goods, equipment or personnel |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment, materials, and work instructions and specifications. Assessment of this unit must be carried out or managed by a registered training organisation: Assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral examinations Appropriate practical assessment must occur: in suitable simulations of a work environment organised by the registered training organisation, and/or in an appropriate workplace |
Specific resources required for assessment | Access is required to opportunities and appropriate resources to either: carry out a range of suitably simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to work safely (usually as part of a holistic assessment involving other competency units), and/or participate in actual workplace activities that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to work safely |
