Develop textile designs using computer based design programs

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the creation of designs and production specifications for woven, knitted or printed textiles, tapestries, and experimental textile products using computer based programs and equipment.

This unit requires the use of computers. If training in the use of computers is required then the unit LMTGN2009A Operate computing technology in a textiles, clothing and footwear workplace should also be selected.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication to interpret and apply technical information and develop documented design specifications. The use of computing technology and programs is central to this unit. Initiative and enterprise, planning and organising and problem solving will be used to create design concepts, patterns and specifications.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to use a range of computer based design programs, equipment and computing technology to generate, produce and manufacture computer aided designs for textile products.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
