Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify and describe the main structure and functions of the foot and to apply these principles to the design and production of footwear.The unit of competency applies to identifying the structure and functions of the foot and how normal footwear design features meet these requirements. The unit of competency does not cover abnormal anatomy or medical conditions affecting feet. The retailing, alteration and manufacture of footwear for clients needing shoes or prostheses for surgical and medical conditions are covered by the Medical Grade Footwear units and qualifications.The unit applies to small manufacturers making footwear by hand and dealing direct with the public.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 applying foot anatomy principles to footwear 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.
