Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
LMTTD4013A Prepare stencils and screens for textile printing
Course Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply screen printing techniques used to produce designs on woven and non woven substrates. The unit applies to the use of stencil, or silk-screen printing techniques to produce designs and artworks for woven and non -woven substrates and textiles to be used for garments, textile products or accessories. Screen printing involves the use of manual techniques, tools and equipment.

Overview of Assessment
To achieve successful completion of this course students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods.
Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date. Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
Project 1. 4 colour print on a non woven substrate 40%
Develop a 4 colour print using motifs from Develop Textile Designs and Specifications. This project will enable students to produce a multi coloured registered design on non woven substrates.
Project 2. Research Assignment 20%
This task requires students to undertake research on printing processes and practices and present findings to the class. This will enable participants to identify different printing techniques.
Project 3. 3 colour placement print 40%
In this project students will produce a 3 colour placement print using the carousel.
