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 | Determine job requirements from specifications, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to use electronic design tools | 2.1 | Interpret the specifications of the design brief and identify production requirements |
| 2.2 | Identify garment factors that need to be considered |
| 2.3 | Prepare suitable programs and equipment |
|
3 | Use design tools | 3.1 | Use design programs and equipment to create required designs, patterns and/or production specifications |
| 3.2 | Test designs, patterns or production specifications and modify, as required |
| 3.3 | Assess outputs generated using electronic design programs against design specifications and production requirements |
|
4 | Check and finalise designs | 4.1 | Present outputs to appropriate personnel to assess accuracy and completeness |
| 4.2 | Make adjustments or improvements, as required |
| 4.3 | Create final products and protect, organise and store them according to workplace procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
applying relevant standards
identifying requirements for at least two (2) garments or products
selecting appropriate software program
using design programs and equipment to create designs, patterns and production specifications for at least two (2) garments
testing designs, patterns or production specifications and modifying, as required
assessing outputs generated using electronic design programs against specifications of design brief
seeking feedback from appropriate people and making adjustments, as required
creating final products and protecting, organising and storing them according to workplace procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
work instructions, SOPs and safe work practices
relevant Australian Standards
principles of design
electronic equipment and program features
editing tools and procedures
operating procedures
garment production requirements
design specifications:
visual content and presentation
style details
fabric types and quantities
production requirements
special effects or features
quality criteria
finishing details
sizing
designs, patterns and production requirements

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 electronic fashion design, 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.
