Notes on Certificate IV in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft

The Certificate IV in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft is designed to reflect the role of individuals who demonstrate understanding of a broad knowledge base, apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, apply skill and knowledge to a wide variety of contexts, and take responsibility for their own outputs. They may take limited responsibility for the output of others, though in a visual arts context this is not always the case.
