Issue Date: May 2024


The unit includes the demonstration of program and machine features and working requirements to customers. It typically applies in a retail, commercial or industry environment where the worker is responsible for sales advice and service of specialised digitising and computerised embroidery equipment. It requires skills to be able to demonstrate features and options available for the user.

Embroidery machines used in completion of this unit may include domestic (single or multi-needle) or commercial (single or multi-head) machines.

This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising to select and demonstrate features of associated technology. Problem-solving skills are required to determine required program features to achieve specifications and address individual customer user requirements. Communication skills are used to refer to relay information and provide service. Self-management skills are used to ensure safe use of technology and conformance of own work to quality standards.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate features of digitising and computerised embroidery equipment in a retail, commercial or industry setting.
