This qualification is intended for those who perform specialised production or multi-skilled operations and supervision roles, within the textiles and clothing production environment.

It covers skills and knowledge in the application of specialised technical and supervisory skills within clothing production enterprises.

It covers occupations such as supervisory roles in a production environment, patternmakers and sample machinists. It allows for a multi-skilled approach to clothing production and provides a basis for career progression to higher skills in the applied fashion design and technology area.

Work outcomes require workers to operate and take responsibility for specialist production machines or processes where the work is mostly repetitive and predictable and the emphasis is on safety, efficiency, process control and problem solving.

No occupational licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication.
