Use electronic fashion design tools

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use a range of electronic design programs and equipment, such as software programs and computing technology.

The unit of competency applies to the creation of designs, patterns or production specifications using electronic programs and equipment, such as graphic and design software, computers and peripherals, and specialised equipment.

Work 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)



Evidence Required

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.

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

quality standards

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.
