Unit of Competency MSTCL2017 - Press work for production support
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to press components as part of the garment production process.The unit applies to pressing work to provide support to production operations. Pressing requires limited operator control of equipment and performance of basic and intermediate tasks that are routine. Positioning of fabric is uncomplicated and operations involve a limited range of fabrics and standard adjustments to equipment. Work to be pressed may include stable woven and knitted natural and synthetic fabrics. Work is conducted according to defined procedures.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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 pressing work, 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.
