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
checking work against work specification or pressing instructions
preparing pressing equipment and work before commencing pressing operations
using at least two (2) types of pressing equipment and applying pressing techniques for garment components on at least two (2) occasions
inspecting pressed work and comparing against workplace pressing standards
reporting faulty work and taking follow up action to avoid any recurrence of faulty work, according to workplace procedures
forwarding pressed work to next operation according to workplace requirements.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
pressing requirements and characteristics of typical fabrics and other materials used in garment assembly
pressing equipment, such as:
irons
presses
industrial steam irons
suction boards
sleeve board
sleeve roll
quality standards and practices
workplace practices
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 pressing work, 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.
