Modification History
Release 1. Retitled qualification provides simpler wording and reflects broader scope beyond fashion and more explicitly allows for textiles outcomes. Overall number of units reduced by ten to better reflect scope of requirements and reduce nesting of lower level content. Core units changed to replace some units from lower level qualifications with more complex units to better reflect alignment at Diploma level (sourcing, costing, innovation and digital design). Additional flexibility provided for choice of safety unit. Specialisation titles simplified. Supersedes and is not equivalent to MST50119 Diploma of Applied Fashion Design and Merchandising or MST50219 Diploma of Textile Design and Development.
