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 apply manipulation techniques | 2.1 | Identify types of manipulation |
| 2.2 | Describe effects of manipulation on different materials |
| 2.3 | Describe processes used to achieve different manipulations |
| 2.4 | Prepare tools and equipment to apply a range of manipulation techniques |
|
3 | Identify uses of manipulation in design process | 3.1 | Describe uses of manipulation to inform and inspire design |
| 3.2 | Describe role of manipulation as a production tool |
| 3.3 | Describe effect of manipulation on the design |
|
4 | Manipulate textiles to produce work sample | 4.1 | Apply manipulation techniques to a variety of textiles and textile products |
| 4.2 | Analyse process to assess outcome |
| 4.3 | Modify manipulation, as required |
| 4.4 | Produce work samples of manipulated textiles |
| 4.5 | Implement workplace procedures in manipulation of fabrics |
| 4.6 | Use industry appropriate tools to document techniques to manipulate textiles and their effects, and retain for future reference |
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 and safe work practices
undertaking a minimum of three (3) types of manipulation to create 2-D and 3-D design effects, on at least two (2) occasions
undertaking manipulations on a range of fabrics and fibres with different characteristics
creating work samples of manipulated textiles
analysing performance characteristics
using tools and equipment associated with manipulating fabrics
documenting process and outcomes using industry appropriate tools
applying workplace procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
uses and performance characteristics of fibres and fabrics
information resources on fibres and fabrics
types of manipulation and effects on materials
material used in the production of garments, accessories, interior and exterior applications, commissioned textiles and objects
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 applying manipulation techniques to create experimental textile 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.
