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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Finish headwear | 2.1 | Confirm requirements for finishing headwear to meet standards |
| 2.2 | Label headwear and attach elastic |
| 2.3 | Use tools and equipment according to specifications and workplace procedures |
| 2.4 | Finish headwear for presentation by brushing, steaming or pressing |
| 2.5 | Assess final inspection of headwear to ensure conformance to quality and safety standards. |
| 2.6 | Identify non-conformance to standards and take appropriate action |
| 2.7 | Maintain records of finished articles and any non-conformance |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy 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
applying finishing techniques, as required, on at least two (2) different forms of headwear
identifying and selecting relevant labels and instructions
carrying out inspection processes on different headwear products
labelling, attaching elastic and finishing headwear to required standard
operating machines and equipment required to finish headwear
recognising non-conforming outcomes
maintaining records of finished articles and any non-conformance.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
industry and product processes and equipment
finishing processes and their application to different fabrics
inspection and checking procedures
quality standards and practices
the importance of ventilation and lighting
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
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 finishing headwear, 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.
