Overview of Assessment

Assessment will be in the form of observation of your ability to identify types and characteristics of textile materials, identify stage of processing fibres or yarns and will be able to describe methods of constructing textile products. Also by questioning for underpinning knowledge.


Assessment Tasks

You will be assessed by observation as you identify types and characteristics of textile materials, identify stage of processing fibres or yarns and will be able to describe methods of constructing textile products (you can check the performance criteria above fore more detials of these skills). You will be questioned for underpinning knowledge for these operations.
