Prepare design concept for a simple garment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to prepare design concept for a simple garment.

The unit of competency applies to individuals working with the patternmaker or designer to create a design concept for production of a simple garment. The concept is based on historical influences and trends from the 20th Century. Work is supervised, may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises, and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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

identifying and illustrating selected features of fashion trends related to significant 20th Century events or periods

drawing a series of trade sketches to illustrate design principles for at least two (2) garment features that represent fashion trends related to a significant 20th Century event or periods

developing a storyboard and documentation to represent design concept for one (1) simple garment that reflects fashion trends related to a significant 20th Century event

checking design concept and making required changes, as required to meet relevant industry or Australian Standards that are current at the time this unit is being undertaken

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 preparing a design concept for a simple garment, 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.
