Critical aspects of evidence
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
prepare tools, equipment and fabric pieces
prepare design schematics
develop a draping plan
carry out the draping on the dress form
finalise the drape for next process

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

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.
