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 perform contour draping | 2.1 | Select and prepare draping tools and equipment |
| 2.2 | Plot design lines from working drawings onto body form, using narrow tape |
| 2.3 | Check measurements against specifications |
| 2.4 | Prepare fabric for draping |
|
3 | Plan drape | 3.1 | Identify requirements for adding ease and manipulating dart excess |
| 3.2 | Plan seam positioning and develop drape plan |
| 3.3 | Prepare cover designs if a fitted foundation to support volume draping or layering is required |
|
4 | Perform and finalise drape | 4.1 | Pin fabric on model form and perform draping operations |
| 4.2 | Remove drape from model |
| 4.3 | Finalise drape and direct to next production process |
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 contour draping, 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.
