Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to embellish footwear using a variety of hand and machine techniques.

The unit of competency applies to work in a supervised environment and is suitable for use in a VET in Schools program or where access to volume production and commercial machines and processes is not an option.

The unit of competency requires the application of skills associated with problem solving and planning and organising to prepare for and undertake embellishment of footwear. Ability to use simple technology will also be required. Self-management skills are required to meet quality standards.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
