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 | Manage preparations for patternmaking process | 2.1 | Identify patternmaking methodologies |
| 2.2 | Analyse critical measurements to derive patterns for unique body shapes, features and specialised garments |
| 2.3 | Interpret design brief and specifications |
| 2.4 | Determine patternmaking requirements and grading methodologies that will be applied |
| 2.5 | Analyse critical paths |
| 2.6 | Develop plan for implementing patternmaking process, and manage it according to design requirements |
|
3 | Manage development of patterns | 3.1 | Make preparations for the development of patterns and present patterns for implementation |
| 3.2 | Confirm patterns for sampling and product development |
| 3.3 | Implement and monitor all aspects of the patternmaking plan to ensure production and quality meet required standards |
|
4 | Review and document patternmaking process | 4.1 | Communicate with production team to finalise and assess the patternmaking process against the design brief |
| 4.2 | Document all changes to patterns and describe formulas and methods |
| 4.3 | Assemble all necessary documentation and prepare reports, where necessary |
| 4.4 | Maintain records according to work procedures |
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
interpreting design brief and specifications for two (2) or more two specialised garments
determining patternmaking requirements and grading methodologies that will be applied, and analysing critical paths
managing collection of all appropriate data and communicating effectively with others to plan and implement patternmaking process
implementing and monitoring all aspects of the patternmaking plan to ensure production and quality meet required standards
communicating with production team to finalise and assess the patternmaking process against the design brief
documenting all changes to patterns, describing formulas and methods, assembling all necessary documentation and preparing reports, where necessary
maintaining records according to work procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
industry applications of patternmaking methodologies
Australian size Standards
workplace and customer size charts
patternmaking methodologies:
block methodologies (national and international)
computer technologies
pattern grading
flat and draped patternmaking methodologies
marker making
pattern development processes:
selecting or developing suitable blocks
selecting or developing suitable style patterns for sampling and production
selecting or developing grade plans for the range
confirming specifications for blocks, style patterns and grade plans
preparing patterns
communication processes
cost efficiency in patternmaking
computer-aided design (CAD) or manual grading systems
marker making
relevant work health and safety (WHS) legislation and codes of practice
quality practices
workplace procedures
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 managing advanced pattern making processes, 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.
