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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competency for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Identify materials used and any special marking out requirements

Measure accurately and cut fabric quantities to minimise waste and produce consistent quality items for at least five different types of material or product

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

prevent damage to goods, equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Underpinning Knowledge

Work requirements, including workplace standards

Fabric types, common faults and inspection procedures

Design features of the finished items in relation to attractive use of fabric patterns

Cutting equipment and techniques

The impact of cutting on fabrics

Underpinning Skills

Information. Collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

Communication. Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

Planning. Plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

Teamwork. Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

Mathematical ideas and techniques. Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate fabric requirements and other material requirements

Solve problems. Use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate cutting problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage

Use of technology. Use the limited workplace technology related to cutting, including tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices.

Resource Implications

Work orders, fabrics, including linings and interlinings, calculator and where available other workplace calculating and cutting equipment.

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This unit covers the competency to measure out and cut single layer fabrics.
