Summary and Purpose of Assessment
This short-answer assessment task is one of three assessment tasks you need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this cluster.
This assessment task allows you to demonstrate your knowledge required to:
- Apply quality standards
- Identify materials used in footwear production.
Assessment Instructions
What
- You must satisfactorily answer all 15 questions
- You should answer all questions in the spaces provided, using full sentences, word count and dot points when requested
- All work must be your own
Where
This is an online assessment task. You will need to answer all questions on CANVAS.

The knowledge assessment is accessed through the Canvas shell and you must complete and submit your responses within the allocated assessment timeframe.
If you are not able to attend the scheduled assessment timeframe you need to advise your teacher so that an alternative assessment arrangement can be made. This knowledge assessment is an individual assessment task that must be completed with minimal support from your supervisor (allowed support includes further explanation of the task requirements or explanation of assessment criteria etc).
Instructions on submitting Knowledge Assessment
This is an online assessment task. You will need to answer all questions on CANVAS.
Task 2
Summary and Purpose of Assessment
This practical assessment task is the second of three assessment tasks you need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this cluster.
This practical assessment will allow you to demonstrate your ability to apply quality standards to work operations and take actions specified in the procedures and within scope of own job and authority to ensure quality standards are met.
At the conclusion of the observation, your Assessor will ask you a range of questions to assess your knowledge of materials used in footwear production and quality processes.
Assessment Instructions
What
During your course, you will be continuously observed making the following 5 shoes:
- 1 x court shoe-flat
- 1 x derby shoe
- 1 x Oxford shoe
- 2 x Roman sandals
The focus of this assessment is to demonstrate your ability to assess your own work against standards; identify, report and record faults, investigate causes and to take required action.
Where
This assessment will be conducted in the footwear workshop.
How
You will be assessed against the criteria as listed in the observation checklist in Section B of this task and how well you answer the questions asked by your assessor. To achieve a satisfactory result, you will need to address all criteria satisfactorily.
Task 3
Summary and Purpose of Assessment
This project is one of three assessment tasks you need to complete satisfactorily, in order to be deemed competent for this unit. Completing this project allows you to demonstrate how you assess quality and investigate causes of quality deviations.
Assessment Instructions
What
