Unit of competency

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTD5007A Develop textile designs using computer based design programs

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use a range of computer-based design programs, equipment and computing technology to generate, produce and manufacture designs for textile products.

The unit of competency applies to the creation of designs and production specifications for woven, knitted or printed textiles, tapestries and experimental textile products using computer-based design programs and equipment.

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.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTD5007A Develop textile designs using computer based design programs

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

  • reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
  • analysing and interpreting design brief
  • using design programs and equipment to create, modify and edit designs and production specifications on at least three (3) occasions
  • using design programs and equipment to test designs, patterns and production specifications according to workplace procedures
  • creating, reviewing and modifying designs using relevant software programs
  • creating, storing, organising and protecting designs, patterns or production specifications according to workplace procedures
  • using, maintaining and storing design programs, products and equipment according to workplace procedures.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • principles of design
  • textile products, including:
  • woven
  • knitted
  • printed
  • tapestries
  • experimental textile products
  • electronic equipment and program features
  • editing tools and procedures
  • operating procedures
  • product production requirements
  • reporting procedure
  • quality practices
  • workplace procedures
  • recording and reporting practices

Assessment Conditions

  • Assessors must:
  • satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
  • have vocational competency in using computer based design programs, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
  • Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
