Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to manage processes for patternmaking in high-volume production of complex or specialised garments.

The unit of competency applies to the development and implementation of patternmaking plans for complex or specialised production.

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.
