Undertake specific millinery construction techniques
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to implementing a range of construction techniques using common and uncommon materials to develop fashion hats and headwear. It encompasses skills and knowledge in general millinery construction techniques. Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the construction of millinery items.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:
requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment
standard operating procedures
work instructions
oral, written and visual communication
quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output
housekeeping
tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling
This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising for safe and effective use of specialised millinery construction technology and operations. This unit also requires an ability to check the quality of outcomes and identify and address problems relating to own work. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving will be used to combine complex materials and processes to achieve desired design outcomes.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required for specific millinery construction using wire, blocks, less common materials and shapes and a range of joining techniques to develop fashion hats and headwear.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: use a wide range of materials and advanced construction techniques to meet requirements for complex millinery designs identify the characteristics and potential use of a wide range of common and uncommon materials use wire to create foundations for a wide range of complex designs use a combination of blockings in a single millinery design adjust and manipulate blocks to achieve abstract designs. Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment |
Context and specific resources for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas, materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. |
Guidance information for assessment | This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Demonstrates knowledge of: millinery policies, standards and guidelines, industry codes of practice, legislative and regulatory requirements industry, workplace and product processes a range of textiles and materials, including their composition and the stretch quality of fabrics standard and non-standard millinery shapes and designs millinery production tools and equipment millinery accessories quality inspection procedures style options, fashion trends and total look concepts safety aspects relating to equipment operation millinery manufacture and construction techniques complex blocking techniques complex wire manipulation techniques historical development of various fashion styles OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures quality practices workplace practices recording and reporting practices |
Demonstrates skills to: visualise the finished product apply safety principles in millinery construction use and manipulate a wide range of materials identify non-conforming materials or components apply quality requirements source a wide range of materials identify and sourcing material alternatives read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions and other reference material maintain accurate records communicate within the workplace sequence operations meet specifications clarify and check task-related information carry out work according to OHS practices |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. | |
Legislative/regulatory requirements | All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements. |
OHS practices | OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
