Qualification -
Unit of Competency LMTDC2011A - Identify pre- and post-spotting requirements
Description This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to recognise and identify types of stains and other marks on articles or garments, and determine and document spotting treatment requirements.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency applies to operators who are responsible for identifying types of stains and other marks that require spotting prior to and after dry cleaning, and determining the required spotting procedure. This unit does NOT cover skills required for implementing spotting procedures. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. This unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving to identify types of stains and determine care requirements, as well as an application of knowledge about technology used in spotting. This unit also requires the ability to organise pre- and post-spotting requirements to ensure efficient and effective dry cleaning operations.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that a range of stains and marks can be consistently identified on a variety of common fabrics.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. In particular look to see that:

fabric characteristics are identified prior to selection of spotting procedure

spotting agents and procedure selected are appropriate to the stain, fibre and fabric, and dye and colour characteristics

spotting requirements are communicated to customer or work personnel and documented in a manner which accurately informs spotting implementation.

Context and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas, materials and equipment and to information on workplace procedures and OHS practices.

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Submission Requirements

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

Required skills include:

identifying particular stains and their removal procedures

recognising fibres, fabric types, dyes and colour categories

recording non-removable stains and defects

maintaining quality requirements for each stage of the process

documenting, assessing and transferring information

reading, interpreting and following information on work specifications, standard operating procedures,work instructions and other reference material

maintaining accurate records

communicating within the workplace

sequencing operations

meeting specifications

clarifying and checking task-related information

carrying out work according to occupational health and safety (OHS) practices

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

workplace or store policies and procedures

characteristics of fibres, fabrics, dyes or colours and the effects of the spotting procedure

stain identification procedures, including steps to be followed

spotting techniques

environmental aspects related to workplace and machine or equipment operation and manual handling

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

practices for recording and reporting

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.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant federal and state or territory legislative or regulatory requirements

Workplace procedures

Workplace procedures may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

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.
