Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers skills and knowledge required to last shoes.

The unit of competency applies to the lasting shoes using machine operations which may involve more than one type of machine, operation or process to meet product specifications. It includes the limited use of discretion, initiative and judgement for setting and adjusting machines to meet specifications.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices

applying relevant standards

preparing workstation and work before commencing operations

checking work against ticket information, quality requirements and workplace procedures

operating lasting machine and setting machine to meet production requirements

positioning upper precisely on machine and guiding through pulling and lasting operations

making adjustments to machine in relation to heat, pressure for pulling and for lasting time, and monitoring lasting machine for correct operations

operating more than one (1) type of machine or operating a complex machine or process to create at least five (5) lasts

monitoring machine performance and product quality

taking appropriate action to address machine faults and product quality

packing, storing and despatching work according to workplace procedures

applying work health and safety (WHS) practices in work operations

maintaining accurate records.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

relevant Australian Standards

machine operations requiring the positioning, feeding and handling of work pieces

procedures for single or multiple machine operations and processes

characteristics of typical leathers and how to make allowances for variations

signs of faulty performance and appropriate action to redress faults

quality standards and practices

handling, storage and despatch practices

safety and environmental aspects of relevant lasting processes

workplace procedures

recording and documentation practices.

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency in lasting shoes by machine, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
