Unit of Competency MSTFD3005 - Use skin, fur or leather to create fashion or textile products
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge to use skin, fur or leather to create or embellish fashion, textiles or textile products, such as simple garments, accessories and millinery.Skills and knowledge in design and production will include the required dimensions of the animal skin or pelt, the techniques and resources required to carry out production according to the design, the intended purpose of the finished product, and the views of the customer in using particular animal skins or pelts.Skin, fur and leather may be incorporated by hand or simple machining. 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. The unit does not include working with footwear.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 using skin, fur or leather in fashion or textile production, 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.
