Identify materials used in millinery

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify materials and components used in the production of millinery.

The unit of competency applies to the production of millinery, headpieces and hair accessories.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

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)


Evidence Required

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.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

identifying a range of traditional and non-traditional materials suitable for the production of millinery

interpreting material labels and information and workplace procedures

describing the composition, construction and characteristics of millinery materials on at least two occasions

identifying suitability of materials to the design, function and cost requirements of millinery items.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

the composition of materials and components used in the production of millinery items

natural

synthetic

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 identifying materials used in millinery, 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.
