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

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Identify and select materials used and any special handling requirements for those materials

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

As a minimum:

prepare and install a minimum of 3 square metres of cover to at least 3 vertical or horizontal surfaces

sew at least three covers

sew appropriate fasteners and attachments to covers sewn

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Appropriate sewing machine, work orders, operating procedures, materials, fittings and threads.

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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

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 work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate work requirements, optimise component and material sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the application of marine sewing and application techniques

Required knowledge

procedure for reporting damaged or imperfect products or interruption to workflow

workflow requirements for sewing process

operation of work systems and sewing equipment

characteristics of materials used and application and requirements of the finished products

causes of faults and repair methods

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

quality systems and standards

workplace procedures

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 scope

This unit addresses the sewing techniques used to sew materials used in marine application and to fit the required attachments and fixing devices

Fittings/attachments and fixing devices include: clips, press studs, buckles, eyelets, shackles, zips, reinforcing patches, straps

Suitable installation methods are used with consideration to suitability or products used in the process

Unit context

Workplace health and safety includes OHS legislation, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the application of marine sewing techniques

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Job requirements may include:

required materials

threads

additional work features

shape and special requirements for the item

any required workplace documentation to be competed

Machines may include, but are not limited to:

overlocker

flat bed

twin needle and walking foot

Tools and equipment may include:

measuring tape

scissors

cutting blades

knives and thread

Materials to be sewn may include but are not limited to:

canvas

sail materials

leather

foam-backed vinyl and upholstery fabrics

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise practices and procedures. It may include:

Machine manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of machines

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

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.
