Overview of Assessment
Learners need to demonstrate by means of a range of assessment tasks (such as written or oral tests and activities) that they can:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of how work activities in clothing production effect each other in relation to the quality of the final product.
2. Correctly follow instructions to produce work according to given quality specifications
3. Carry out inspections on own work and the work of others by checking work against specifications, samples or established quality standards.
4. Locate, name and note down types of faults found on garments
5. Investigate and report on the causes of faults by completing appropriate report work
6. Recommend suitable action to fix faults according to given procedures.
