Course Description
In this course you will develop the knowledge and skills to develop textile design concepts into finished Textile Products. Through exploration and application of textile ideas, you will make prototypes and conduct tests of print, knit or weave designs and/or products. This process will support you in making your own judgements and selections for your final textile presentations. This course consists of 2 Units of Competency that are clustered for delivery and assessment. The other Unit of Competency in this clustered course is MSTGN5001 Participate in production planning processes

Overview of Assessment
Assessment is ongoing throughout the course and will include 3 projects. The first of these will be an Industry driven brief, where you will respond creatively and present your ideas and testing analysis/ documentation. The remaining 2 assessments are student-centred and support the research, design and production process to support your selected body of work within a print, knit or weave focus. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on My RMIT.
This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard.
You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments.
Students will be eligible for a graded result higher than Competency achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period and on the first assessment attempt. Tasks 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 will not be eligible for grading
Graded assessment in this course uses the following grades:
CHD Competent with High Distinction
CDI Competent with Distinction
CC Competent with Credit
CAG Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC Not Yet Competent
DNS Did Not Submit for Assessment
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.

Assessment Tasks
This course consists of 2 Units of Competency that are clustered for delivery and assessment. The other Unit of Competency in this clustered course is MSTGN5001 Participate in production planning processes
To demonstrate competency in this clustered course you will need to complete the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard. You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
Assessment Task: Process and Technical file Date due: Week 15
Record all aspects of your process including sampling, design, material sourcing & calculations, development and production. Compile all resources, visual and otherwise into a technical file that will act as a working resource that documents your entire working process. The technical file will be a thorough record of your process and outcomes spanning 15 weeks.
Assessment Task: Textile Product Date due: Week 15
You will design and develop a Textile Product. Your process will include sourcing materials, undertaking a detailed sampling process, selecting suitable processes for production, determining quality and presenting the work professionally. At the conclusion of development work you will present your textile product to a panel of supervisor/s and representatives from industry to gain feedback on your work.
*Feedback will be provided by the class teacher after successful submission of each assessment item. Feedback times are made with individual students and are detailed in the weekly outline

Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning:
Credit transfer is the recognition of previously completed formal learning (an officially accredited qualification).
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows you to demonstrate competence using the skills you have gained through experience in the workplace, voluntary work, informal or formal training or other life experiences.
Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) RCC applies only if you have previously successfully demonstrated competence in a unit of competency, and now require to be reassessed to ensure that the competence is being maintained.
Please speak to your teacher if you wish to discuss applying for Credit Transfer, RPL, or RCC for the unit(s) of competency addressed in this course.
