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 | Determine yield from fabric | 2.1 | Examine measurements and identify marker requirements from specification |
| 2.2 | Determine the impact of fabric features and specifications on marker |
| 2.3 | Identify pattern width and size scale and estimate material utilisation |
| 2.4 | Select and prepare suitable software programs and computing equipment |
| 2.5 | Access pattern/style libraries and enter fabric and sizing information |
| 2.6 | Generate an order for pattern/style marker |
| 2.7 | Determine optimal layout configuration to minimise fabric waste |
| 2.8 | Ensure lay requirements meet design specifications |
| 2.9 | Confirm garment yield from fabric |
|
3 | Prepare costing markers | 3.1 | Generate digital costing marker |
| 3.2 | Determine preliminary costing and assess commercial viability of production |
| 3.3 | Identify need for and make adjustments to improve viability |
| 3.4 | Create marker to maximise utilisation |
| 3.5 | Determine piece count, marker length and fabric utilisation |
| 3.6 | Ensure measurements and requested specifications are accurately documented |
| 3.7 | Print scaled marker and assess against design and production specifications |
|
4 | Prepare marker for use | 4.1 | Prepare marker for use and determine distribution or storage requirements |
| 4.2 | Prepare marker for email distribution |
| 4.3 | Store marker according to workplace procedures |
| 4.4 | Print scaled marker and prepare for processing |

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 and costing, 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.
