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.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects of evidence | Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials Identify materials used and any special sewing or handling requirements for those materials Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information Interpret patterns and work instructions Produce at least one type of soft furniture accessory Select and use tools and equipment appropriate to the task Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self and others prevent damage to goods, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment Report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment |
Resource implications | Patterns, materials, tools and equipment. |
Method of assessment | Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency. |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to basic plans and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, co-ordination of work with site supervisor and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid back tracking work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate production problems, avoid re-working and wastage use workplace technology related to the production task, including specified tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices |
Required knowledge |
the types, characteristics, uses and limitations of basic soft furnishing materials the interpretation of patterns identification of equipment, processes and procedures workflow in relation to soft furnishing accessory production |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Unit context | OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the reading and interpreting of patterns, plans and instructions. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment. |
Soft furnishing accessories may include: | basic cushions bolsters soft tableware and slip-on covers |
Tools and equipment may include: | measuring and calculating equipment, including tapes, rulers, calculators, computers fabric and general cutting and sewing tools, including scissors, saws, drills, staplers, sewing machines, hemming machines, overlockers, glue guns |
Materials may include: | plain and patterned fabric velvet vinyl piping cords wadding foam zips and fasteners |
Personal protective equipment | Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices |
Information and procedures | Workplace procedures relating to the production of soft furnishing items Work instructions, including job sheets, patterns, plans, drawings and designs Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication |
Pattern interpretation | Pattern interpretation is to result in the determination of type of material specified, required tools and equipment for the task, number and type of soft furnishing accessories to be produced, and quality requirements |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
