Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTFD5018B Determine and specify advanced construction processes

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to determine and specify advanced construction processes to achieve desired design details.

The unit of competency applies to design details which achieve specific effects in the production of garments to give a garment a more unique, individual appearance. It also applies to producing samples and developing construction specifications and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to guide the production of garments which incorporate design detail.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
