• 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 make flat patterns from hat blocks

• 2.1Set up workstation according to workplace procedures and select millinery tools and equipment
• 2.2Analyse design information and interpret specifications to identify component shapes of the millinery item
• 2.3Determine hat blocks needed to achieve the crown and brim shapes of the design
• 2.4Select hat blocks according to design and head size
• 2.5Prepare hat blocks
• 2.6Select and prepare medium to be used for making the patterns

3 Develop and test millinery patterns

• 3.1Apply medium to hat blocks
• 3.2Mark millinery design lines onto pattern medium according to specifications of millinery design
• 3.3Check design proportions in relation to millinery design and placement of the hat on the head
• 3.4Cut first patterns by applying patternmaking techniques for millinery
• 3.5Test and check patterns by making a mock-up or toile in paper or other millinery foundation material
• 3.6Make full patterns suitable for single layer cutting or the hat

4 Finalise patterns

• 4.1Adjust patterns, where necessary, to comply with design and size
• 4.2Finalise patterns and add cutting instruction, grainline and notches
• 4.3Check patterns against quality criteria and workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for MSTML3001 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSTML3001 needs to address all 37 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 MSTML3001?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSTML3001 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 MSTML3001 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSTML3001 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 MSTML3001, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
