What an assessment for MSTML3002 must cover

40 assessable components: 4 elements (19 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Determine job requirements

1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
1.4Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Prepare to block and shape complex millinery

2.1Analyse the shapes evident in the millinery design
2.2Examine crown and brim shapes of millinery design
2.3Identify other shapes and secondary components that will need to be blocked
2.4Select millinery materials compatible with design and shapes to be blocked
2.5Select covering and foundation materials for crown and brim
2.6Select covering and foundation materials for blocked secondary components

3 Select and prepare block

3.1Select block to suit design, shapes and materials to be used
3.2Check for compatibility if several blocks are to be used for the one design
3.3Clean and prepare hat blocks
3.4Prepare millinery materials for blocking and shaping processes

4 Block the complex shapes by hand

4.1Perform initial and final blocking and shaping by hand
4.2Dry block and shape pieces or set on the hat blocks
4.3Add stiffening to the blocked shapes, where required, according to the performance characteristics of the millinery materials
4.4Conduct work according to workplace procedures
4.5Prepare blocked shapes for the next step in the millinery production process

Performance evidence

reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
analysing a millinery design to determine crown and brim shapes and shapes of other components
assessing suitability of millinery materials and components to the blocking and shaping operations required of the millinery design
identifying performance characteristics and handling of the selected millinery materials and components
preparing and manipulating traditional and non-traditional millinery materials to produce required shapes using hat blocks
using manual initial and final blocking and shaping techniques with hat blocks to achieve at least two (2) complex millinery shapes
finalising complex blocked shapes for millinery with an intricate and complex silhouette on at least two (2) occasions
preparing blocked shapes for the next step in the millinery production process
applying workplace procedures

Knowledge evidence

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
the performance characteristics and handling of millinery materials
industry and product processes and equipment
preparation of hat blocks: - modifying the shape or head size of existing blocks - cleaning and removing any unwanted previous markings - applying a protective covering to the hat block - selecting a spinner or stand for the hat block
environmental aspects associated with the use of millinery solvents and adhesives
measures associated with the use of millinery solvents and adhesives
performance characteristics and handling of the selected millinery materials and components
complex millinery shapes: - a combination of unusual and contrasting shapes - intricate and complex silhouette - 3-D shapes - 2-D shapes - harmonious shapes - contrasting shapes - concave shapes - convex shapes - curvilinear shapes - combinations of shapes
blocked secondary components: - trims - functional extensions (e.g. collars) - aesthetic extensions
suitability of millinery materials and components to the blocking and shaping operations required of the millinery design
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices

Questions about assessing MSTML3002

What does an assessment tool for MSTML3002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSTML3002 needs to address all 40 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 12 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MSTML3002?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSTML3002 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MSTML3002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSTML3002 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MSTML3002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
