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
analysing commercial textile markets to identify commercial opportunities
applying principles and elements of design and developing a design brief for at least two (2) textile designs for commercial production
evaluating commercial production factors
developing specification sheet and creating production plan
producing sample to test design concept and plan
communicating with a range of industry experts and personnel to evaluate product and process and confirm they comply with design brief
processing textile design with any necessary modifications to product or process
confirm final design and finalise documentation.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
commercial markets for textile production
elements and principles of design
market research practices and information sources
scoping processes to identify:
target market
features and benefits
timing
economic and social expectations
scale of production
processes in commercial textile design development
textile production techniques and specifications
costs:
labour
overheads
materials
tooling
equipment
yarns
dyes
other chemicals or materials
relevant legislation and codes of practice
presentation tools:
storyboards
models
computer-aided drawings
textile or yarn samples
workplace procedures
recording and reporting 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 creating and producing textile designs for commercial production, 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.
