Unit of Competency MSTML2007 - Block and shape millinery by hand
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to perform blocking and shaping processes of millinery by hand. It includes selecting and, where applicable, modifying the block.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. 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 blocking and shaping millinery by hand, 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.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine job requirements
  • Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
  • Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions
       
Element: Prepare to block and shape millinery by hand
  • Confirm blocking and shaping requirements to ensure correct design application
  • Assemble and prepare selected materials ready for preparation process
  • Select block to suit design
  • Adapt block, where necessary, to ensure correct application
       
Element: Block millinery
  • Prepare fibre or material and process over steam vent ensuring safe processes are followed
  • Pre-block hood to pre-stretch the fibres, if required
  • Perform final blocking to shape the secondary components, including brim, collar line or to obtain particular indentation
  • Allow hood to dry on the block, either naturally or by artificial means
  • Add stiffening to the hat, where required, before being removed
