Description

This qualification describes the skills and knowledge required to design furniture and translate the design into a finished furniture product for either custom or volume production.

Job roles/employment outcomes

LMF60308 Advanced Diploma of Furniture Design and Technology is streamed to reflect two primary occupational outcomes in the areas of fine furniture making - with a focus on skills required to design and produce individual fine furniture for display or custom production or

furniture design - with a focus on skills required to design furniture for volume production. Work involves using a significant range of fundamental principles and complex techniques across a wide and often unpredictable variety of contexts in relation to either varied or highly specified functions. Accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving outcomes is involved.

Application
