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

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials, including personal protective equipment

Identify and operate three types of industrial sewing machines as identified in the Range of Variables

Set up sewing machine for operations and monitor quality of output

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

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

Identify safe handling of equipment, products and materials

Underpinning Knowledge

The types, characteristics, uses and limitations of sewing machines

Characteristics of materials used and finished products

Safety and environmental aspects of sewing machine operations

Quality systems and standards

Workflow requirements for sewing process

Operation of work systems and industrial sewing equipment

Causes of faults and repair methods

Procedure for reporting damaged or imperfect products or interruptions to workflow

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 material requirements
