Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence of the ability to:

determine the most efficient way to construct costume components to meet functional and production requirements

develop and follow a sequence of operations for constructing a variety of costume components

use a sewing machine competently and safely

sew and finish costume components that meet functional requirements and costume production deadlines

document the process of constructing costume components.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify sources of supply for materials typically required for construction of costume components

outline roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in costume design and construction

explain properties and characteristics of a range of fabrics typically used to construct costume components

identify typical problems that arise in the context of constructing costume components and briefly describe solutions

outline typical costume components

explain functionality in relation to costumes for performance

describe safety procedures that apply to using equipment and machinery to make costume components.
