The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
interpret work or job specifications and cutting order as it applies to marker-making
set up manual or computer drafting equipment before commencement of marker-making operations
manipulate pattern pieces using manual or computer techniques to make markers that make most efficient use of fabric involving complex patterns, a variety fabrics and lays,
apply OHS practices in work operations
maintain accurate records
Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks according to instructions
working systematically with attention to detail
identifying improvements and avoiding damage
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
