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!

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge

There must be evidence the candidate has completed the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria, and foundation skills of this unit, which must include the ability to:

accurately measure and cut fabric quantities to minimise waste and produce consistent quality items for at least five different work orders; each work order must relate to one of the following types of products:

curtain

cushion

drape

swag

upholstered furniture component.

Each of the above work orders must require a different type of fabric and number of items to be cut. One work order must require lining or interlining, and one hanging cut fabric.

In the course of completing each of the above five work orders, the person must:

interpret work order and locate required materials, tools and equipment

apply safe handling procedures

follow work instructions and safe operating and inspection procedures to:

minimise risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to materials, equipment and products

maintain required production output and quality

use personal protective equipment (PPE)

identify special marking out requirements

use and dispose of waste sustainably

avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions and wastage

identify and resolve routine problems and faults encountered

There must be evidence the candidate has knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) requirements to observe when cutting fabrics:

ergonomic criteria

personal protection requirements

work order requirements, and industry-accepted quality indicators and requirements, relating to the cutting process described in performance evidence:

safety considerations and potential dangers associated with cutting equipment

operation of work systems

environmental requirements of cutting operations

work flow requirements for cutting process

layout and key features of work order requirements relating to cutting single layer fabrics:

required fabrics

number of items to be cut

fabric sizes to be cut

required allowances

required equipment

workplace standards

workplace procedures for:

selecting and laying out fabrics

marking out measurements for pleat lines, hems, headings and special seam allowances

inspecting fabric types for flaws

identifying design features affecting job requirements

identifying and labelling cut-out materials

selecting and using cutting equipment:

blades

cutting machines

scissors

cutting out and labelling materials

hanging fabrics

checking tools and equipment and tagging damaged items

effect of cutting on fabrics

use of material features in realising attractive use of fabric patterns:

face of materials

naps

direction
