Elements of Competency
Performance Criteria
Element: Prepare for work
Specifications, patterns and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify required material, number and nature of items to be cut and the equipment to be used
Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
Machines, attachments, tools (including scissors and blades), materials, work method and sequence are determined
Suitable work area is selected, prepared and cleaned of any contaminants
Equipment, including any supplementary equipment, is identified and checked for safe operation, components and controls
Scissors and any other cutting equipment, such as a hot knife, are selected for the material to be cut and checked for appropriate sharpness, operation and safe condition
Materials to be cut and sewn are identified and inspected and problems, including any materials which do not meet the job order requirements, are identified and reported in accordance with workplace procedures
Element: Develop cutting plan
Cutting requirements are identified
Measurements for item are confirmed, noting locations of high wear/chafing, fittings/attachments and fixing devices
If appropriate, cutting list is developed using appropriate format, abbreviations and terminology for cut sizes and number of pieces in accordance with workplace procedures
Cutting plan is developed in accordance with workplace procedures
Element: Prepare materials for cutting
Material is selected in accordance with work order and laid out and inspected for flaws
Finished side of the materials is identified and positioned on cutting table for marking/pattern lay out
Material is marked out/patterns are laid out following work procedures and instructions
Element: Cut material
Measurements are confirmed and appropriate adjustments to the positioning of fabric are made
Tools and equipment are checked for operation
Required cutting operations are completed to cut material following work instructions
Cut material is inspected for quality and unsatisfactory items are processed in accordance with workplace instructions
Cut materials are labelled and despatched to next process in accordance with workplace procedures
Element: Conduct sewing operation
Items to be sewn are inspected for quality and dimensions
Sewing machine (including attachments as required) is set up in accordance with workplace instructions
Machine is operated in accordance with manufacturers' instructions and workplace procedures to maintain required product quality and output
Reinforcing/protective measures, fittings/attachments and fixing devices are attached in accordance with workplace procedures
Finished items are inspected for quality with unacceptable items being reprocessed in accordance with workplace procedures
Element: Complete work
Workplace documentation, including stock usage, is completed and processed following workplace procedures
Equipment maintenance and work area clean up are completed following workplace procedures
Waste is collected and bundled for recycling/reuse as required by workplace procedures
Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Identify and select materials used and any special handling requirements for those materials
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
As a minimum,:
measure, cut and sew one canvas product and one acrylic product
apply binding as an edge finish to a curve and three corners, 2 metres in length
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Appropriate measuring tapes, cutting table, scissors, blades and cutting machines, sewing machine, work orders, operating procedures, materials and threads.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Submission Requirements
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures
communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate work requirements, optimise component and material sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials
use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage
use the workplace technology related to the measuring, cutting and sewing of canvas and acrylics
Required knowledge
procedure for reporting damaged or imperfect products or interruption to workflow
workflow requirements for cutting and sewing process
operation of work systems and cutting and sewing equipment
characteristics of the materials used and the application of the finished products
causes of faults and repair methods
identification of equipment, processes and procedures
quality systems and standards
workplace procedures
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
