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 and safe work practices, pattern charts
applying relevant standards
interpreting and using pattern and garment terminology
identifying pattern pieces and checking against pattern chart
identifying and interpreting all pattern markings
identifying garment style features, interpreting garment requirements and clarifying, where necessary
applying patternmaking principles to construct patterns for at least two (2) garments according to specifications and workplace quality standards
checking pattern pieces, information and specifications for accuracy throughout garment production process
identifying and reporting garment production faults relating to pattern or pattern information and specifications
completing production documentation as required.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
patternmaking and design terminology
impact of patternmaking on production
pattern markings:
notches
grain line
seam lines
drill holes
darts
cutting instructions
style number
size
seam allowance
cutting line
stitching line
style features
fabric performance characteristics
quality standards and practices
sequence of pattern operations

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 interpreting patterns and applying pattern information, 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.
