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 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to drape fabrics | 2.1 | Select and prepare draping tools and equipment |
| 2.2 | Prepare body form for draping |
| 2.3 | Identify and mark reference points on body form and make any other necessary preparations |
| 2.4 | Select and prepare fabric for draping |
| 2.5 | Prepare the drape plan |
|
3 | Transfer drape to make pattern | 3.1 | Pin fabric on model form and perform draping operations |
| 3.2 | Remove drape from model form and draw or rule lines on drape at pin positions |
| 3.3 | Use drape as a template to create paper pattern or block |
| 3.4 | True and mark pattern |
|
4 | Check and finalise pattern | 4.1 | Check pattern pieces for all requirements, label pieces and complete markings |
| 4.2 | Finalise pattern and check it is accurate, complete and complies with design specifications |
| 4.3 | Complete pattern specification sheet, attach to patterns for storage and file appropriately |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

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 draping fabrics to make patterns, 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.
