Develop textile designs using computer-based design programs

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use a range of computer-based design programs, equipment and computing technology to generate, produce and manufacture designs for textile products.

The unit of competency applies to the creation of designs and production specifications for woven, knitted or printed textiles, tapestries and experimental textile products using computer-based design programs and equipment.

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 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 and interpreting design brief

using design programs and equipment to create, modify and edit designs and production specifications on at least three (3) occasions

using design programs and equipment to test designs, patterns and production specifications according to workplace procedures

creating, reviewing and modifying designs using relevant software programs

creating, storing, organising and protecting designs, patterns or production specifications according to workplace procedures

using, maintaining and storing design programs, products and equipment according to workplace procedures.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

principles of design

textile products, including:

woven

knitted

printed

tapestries

experimental textile products

electronic equipment and program features

editing tools and procedures

operating procedures

product production requirements

reporting procedure

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 using computer based design programs, 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.
