Learning Outcomes


On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency in the above elements.


Details of Learning Activities

This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising to develop patterns. Problem solving skills are required to determine and apply suitable patternmaking principles to achieve design requirements and identify any production problems. Communication and numeracy skills are used to interpret and apply pattern specifications and complete required documentation. Self management skills are used to ensure safe use of technology and conformance of own work to quality standards.

Learning activities include:

Draw a basic sketch, take measurements, use patternmaking tools, read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, sequence operations, meet specifications, carry out work according to OHS practice.
