• 1.2Identify and obtain required measuring tools and equipment
• 1.3Follow workplace procedures to organise site access

2 Complete and document drape measurements

• 2.1Document fabric width and repeat features based on customer selection
• 2.2Document finished length of window covering
• 2.3Identify heading and required fullness ratio
• 2.4Identify and record loose or attached lining preference
• 2.5Measure and document finished width of tracking and window covering
• 2.6Calculate number of fabric drops per curtain
• 2.7Calculate length of each fabric drop based on finished length plus hem and heading allowances and pattern repeats
• 2.8Calculate and record fabric requirements, with allowances for seams, hems, headings, drape fullness or heading type

3 Calculate and document lining and interlining quantities

• 3.1Document width of lining and interlining fabrics based on customer selection
• 3.2Calculate number of lining/interlining widths or quantity of continuous lining based on required number of drape drops or continuous fabric
• 3.3Calculate length of lining/interlining including hem allowances
• 3.4Calculate and record amount of lining/interlining taking account of need to minimise waste

4 Complete documentation

• 4.1Review and check all measurements on documentation for completeness
• 4.2Finalise documentation and process in accordance with workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for MSFSF3017 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSFSF3017 needs to address all 25 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 4 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 MSFSF3017?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSFSF3017 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 MSFSF3017 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSFSF3017 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 MSFSF3017, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
