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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Identify millinery materials | 1.1 | Identify traditional pre-formed materials used in the production of millinery and headwear |
| 1.2 | Identify contemporary materials and millinery foundation and support materials |
| 1.3 | Identify components used in the production of millinery and headwear |
| 1.4 | Identify non-traditional materials suitable for millinery and headwear |
| 1.5 | Identify chemical-free alternatives to adhesives and size traditionally used in millinery |
| 1.6 | Interpret material labels and information and workplace procedures |
|
2 | Identify the characteristics of millinery materials | 2.1 | Identify and describe physical construction and composition of millinery materials |
| 2.2 | Identify composition of the adhesives and sizing and safe handling requirements |
| 2.3 | Identify limitations of materials for use in millinery |
| 2.4 | Identify physical characteristics and compatibility of materials |
| 2.5 | Identify equipment required for using millinery materials |
| 2.6 | Identify suitability of materials to the design, function and cost requirements of millinery item |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

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 identifying materials used in millinery, 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.
