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 produce woven tapestry samples | 2.1 | Analyse design specifications and cartoon image and discuss with appropriate personnel to confirm production requirements |
| 2.2 | Identify desired effects of tapestry techniques and select appropriate processes to achieve required outcome |
| 2.3 | Select yarns, quantities, tapestry looms and equipment according to design requirements |
|
3 | Produce woven tapestry design sample | 3.1 | Set up workstation and tools and equipment according to specifications for work |
| 3.2 | Check yarns against quality standards |
| 3.3 | Undertake tapestry techniques to meet design specifications for sample and according to workplace procedures |
| 3.4 | Monitor tapestry techniques and outcomes throughout to identify production faults |
|
4 | Check quality of sample | 4.1 | Check completed sample against design specifications to ensure quality standards are met |
| 4.2 | Identify tapestry faults and production problems and determine causes |
| 4.3 | Analyse tapestry process, technique and materials used to determine necessary modifications to tapestry techniques, processes or specifications |
|
5 | Complete production process | 5.1 | Rectify tapestry faults and production problems or reproduce sample according to modifications |
| 5.2 | Finish tapestry sample to design specifications |
| 5.3 | Examine outcomes with appropriate personnel and discuss and document possible modifications to design |
| 5.4 | Complete required documentation |
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), safe work practices
analysing design specifications and interpreting production requirements
producing at least two (2) tapestry samples using different techniques according to design specifications
making minor adjustments to equipment
identifying and addressing faults
monitoring own work and conducting quality check of sample outcome with relevant personnel
applying workplace procedures
maintaining documentation.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
tapestry modification techniques
tapestry techniques
yarn characteristics
typical fault conditions
fault-finding procedures
types and styles of tapestries
simple equipment maintenance techniques
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 producing woven tapestry samples, 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.
