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 manipulate fabrics | 2.1 | Identify a range of fabric manipulation techniques |
| 2.2 | Identify effects of manipulation on different textiles |
| 2.3 | Identify processes to achieve different manipulations |
| 2.4 | Investigate how uses of manipulation inform and inspire design |
| 2.5 | Identify the role of manipulation as a production tool and its effect on design |
|
3 | Manipulate textiles to produce work sample | 3.1 | Apply manipulation techniques to a variety of textiles |
| 3.2 | Assess outcome and modify manipulation as required to provide quality outcomes |
| 3.3 | Produce samples of manipulated textiles |
| 3.4 | Document techniques and their effects for future reference |
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 (SOPs) and safe work practices
applying relevant standards
providing at least ten (10) illustrations that demonstrate a range of fabric manipulation techniques on a variety of fabrics
identifying and illustrating three (3) examples of how uses of manipulation inform and inspire design
experimenting with at least three (3) manipulation techniques on different fabrics to determine their effects
assessing outcomes and modifying manipulation as required to enhance effects
documenting manipulation techniques and their effects for future reference.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
uses and performance characteristics of textiles, fibres and fabrics
Australian Standards for garment production and use of chemicals
manipulation techniques:
crushing
heat application
tucking
pleating
shrinking
dyeing
quality practices
workplace practices
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 manipulating fabrics, 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.
