Program Information

The structure of the Certificate IV in Custom-made Footwear has been developed to ensure the program is being delivered following industry guidelines and requirements.

Classes are interactive and give you many opportunities to discuss ideas and practice new skills. You will participate in class learning activities such as:

• Practical workshops in the development of footwear products including shoes 
• Design folios
• Specifications
• Patterns
• Simulated workplace activities including quality/production management
• Raw materials properties
• Computer-aided tasks within a footwear industry context

Some activities may be done on an individual basis and some require group work, on-line interaction, learning and assessment.There is an expectation that you will complete assessment projects outside of class time.
 
Assessment occurs throughout the program and includes:

• Practical demonstrations of competency, for example by completing tasks while being observed by your teacher
• Completion of written work such as writing assessment reports, assignments and development of a design folio
• Completion of practical work such as through the development of a range of different shoe styles

All units are assessed for competency. If you have already developed competency through prior experience, you may apply for RPL before the program commences or at any time during the program for each of the courses you are about to commence. Please discuss this process with your teacher or Program Coordinator.

If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods.
