Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Communicate design concepts and production requirements

  1. Objectives and processes for communicating design concepts are identified and used effectively.
  2. Appropriate industry communication tools used to communicate and determine design production, are selected and applied.
  3. Language and terminology that is appropriate to fashion industry is used routinely when interacting and communicating with industry participants to ensure required meaning is accurately conveyed.
  4. An understanding of roles of different industry participants is applied to planning and implementing industry communication.
  5. Information requirements of fashion industry participants are accommodated in development and production of fashion designs.
  6. Feedback is sought on effectiveness of communication in relaying design and production concepts and requirements, and is incorporated into future communication.
  7. Where difficulties arise in communication, assistance is sought from appropriate personnel.
  8. Outcomes of communication and information received are documented and records are maintained.
