Unit of Competency MSFFDM5013 - Work collaboratively on design projects
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish, implement and maintain collaboration on a complete design project. This unit applies to individuals working in a manufacturing or design studio environment who participate in the management of a design project as part of a collaborative team. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Skills must have been demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions and contingencies. The following conditions must be met for this unit:

use of suitable facilities, equipment and resources, including:

design brief

people for collaboration.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
