Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify design process for fashion designs.

The unit of competency applies to identifying the criteria for a fashion design brief, and how they impact on the process of producing fashion items. It includes the impact of colour on the design process in a production environment.

Work is conducted according to defined procedures, in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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