Learning Outcomes


On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency in the above elements


Details of Learning Activities

In general your training is contextualised according to the company’s production processes undertaken as a part of the trainees normal work duties.

Your tasks are selected for training and explanation of the task to be undertaken is given by the trainer and the correct procedure discussed. The task is demonstrated by the trainer and underpinning skills and knowledge are developed.

When the trainer is confident you are capable of undertaking the task safely you will then do the task. During this time your work would be monitored by the trainer and questioning and further instruction given.

You will also be given workplace based tasks and activities to complete and practice between visits. Any activities and work performed between visits are reviewed and further training is undertaken accordingly.
RMIT University learning resources are used to support your training

Overview of Assessment

Assessment is ongoing throughout the course and will include three assessments or projects. Assessments will be in the form of tests for underpinning knowledge and demonstration and observation of your abillity to prepare workstations, select blocks to be used, apply basic patternmaking principles to develop patterns, test patterns and complete work. Also by questioning for underpinning knowledge.


Assessment Tasks

You will be assessed by observation as you demonstrate your ability to prepare workstations, select blocks to be used, apply basic patternmaking principles to develop patterns, test patterns and complete work (you can check the performance criteria above fore more details of these skills). Also by questioning for underpinning knowledge.
