Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret design specifications and use weaving looms to produce sample woven products. Samples may be complete or partially completed items.
This unit applies to individuals producing work based on a pre-determined design. They use judgement and problem-solving to select and troubleshoot processes to achieve quality outcomes.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
